Why didn't Makita just sell off the Dolmar name to an interested party and they could have continued petro powered Dolmars and if needed be they could have purchased battery powered equipment from Makita. They could have made millions especially if they sold the production facility in Germany.
I personally will never purchase a Makita branded anything because of their IGNORANCE!

As I posted in the other thread,

Wall, them Germans ain’t too big into mosquito foggin’ 2-strokes and all, or any sensible energy policy that would keep them from needing to buy Russian oil.

Those are old stock!
No new units are being made.

And I think there is a deadline set on selling new 2-stroke OPE, possibly even 4-stroke.
Can't find confirmation on that though.
