Which would you get: a cordless electric mower or an electric reel mower?
I've been looking at both and most say the same basic things except that the reel ones you can use longer because of better batteries and because they will mow without the power too. Has anyone used both? Has anyone used them on Saint Augustine grass? We have a 4200 square foot yard. I'm looking to take over mowing duties from my husband and I want something other than a gas mower. I'm also kind of wary of the $300 price tag. Can you find them cheaper?
the only advantage of cordless mower is you cannot accidentally cross over the line ,disadvantage is the time limit of the battery and you need extra battery and fast charger to,on the other hand the electric mower is cheaper but you might accidentally run over the line and get electricuted,the other one is manual mower that you push way cheaper and more excercise good luck

Beginner Welding Help Please!?
First things first. I gotta choose a welder. I wanted a welder that would run off a normal 115V house current. So i went to Northern Tools website. Here are 2 welders i found that are in my price range <$200 What is the difference because they were in 2 different "Welder" categories. And i know their both Arc welders. Also do you think the 1st welder (the ARC 70) would be suitable for a begineer. I will be practicing on an old lawn mower. Maybe weld a hub on the axle so that it can use ATV tires. Stuff like that. Maybe make it a racing mower. Anyhow if either of these welders arent what i should start out with can you recommend a good one for under 200$. preferably under 150 but i can stretch my budget to 200 i think. Also do you recommend the auto darkening helmets?
Thanks for your help

take the money you would spend on an auto darkening helmet and put it towards a better welder...

My craftsman eletric lawn mower stops every few minutes, what's wrong with it?
This is a 6 year old craftsman electric law mower. Worked great until this summer when it started to stop and run periodically (every few minutes). The stop last only 1 minute or less. What's wrong with it? How can get it fixed by myself? Thanks a lot.
sounds like it is overheating, there should be a cover on the motor that keeps grass clippings from collecting. it may be filled and just needs to be cleaned out. with the mower unplugged take the cover off and blow out the area around the bearings and electrical connections. also while the mower is unplugged flip the mower over and clean under the deck where the blade goes. good luck
