Cordless landscaping solutions are growing in range and in performance. What does it mean to go cordless in the garden or at work as a landscaper? The benefits are clear for anyone who has had to contend with tangled extension cables or a jump start chord that jumps plenty — but doesn’t start. Battery operated tools work instantly. As long as you have fresh batteries installed, you’re ready to go. And because they’re not fitted with a cumbersome petroleum engine, they’re much lighter than the legacy alternatives.
The energy density of batteries has plenty of room for improvement, but state of the art today is still good enough to get the job done around the home.
