Default RE: Electric Starters~Do You Use One?

I picked up a rather new Hobbico starter at a swap meet, and found out my battery doesn't have the oomph to spin up a 4 stroke.  I had to borrow my friends starter so I could get my DLE20 to run for the first time.  After that, one flip of the prop, and it fired right up.  I use mechanics gloves for flipping, they are pretty tough, but you can still get a nasty bruise if the prop strikes a finger.  <div>
