I have the 40V with the shaver blades. I have wondered this myself because I still have an old Mag 2000 gasser with the chipper bit. They are both interchangeable, as Strikemaster never changed that. I have never felt the need to try it because our lakes haven’t gotten sandy in a few years. I didn’t think about the chipper needing more battery power. If I do try it, I’ll let ya know how it works.
