Garden Equipment You Need in 2020


cm_mo_blog_header_2020_final

For 2020 we are recommending starting the new decade with a greener approach to gardening. Battery power has advanced over the last few years and almost all the top garden machinery manufacturers have released their own cordless ranges. The new lithium batteries contain high-quality cells, offer longer runtimes and will comfortably match the power of a small petrol engine. Newer cordless products are fitted with efficient brushless motors for reliability and added reassurance of a long product life. Cordless machines incorporate the practicalities of both electric and petrol machines, offering the capabilities of working cable-free around the garden and offsite but also producing enough torque to tackle the more demanding outdoor tasks. Most importantly, battery power has positive health and environmental benefits which include:

  • Reduced noise – keeps the neighbours happy and it allows you to work without the worry of hearing loss
  • Zero-emissions – no pollution is not only good for the planet, it’s good for everyone’s lungs too
  • Minimal running and maintenance costs – batteries are recharged using electricity, not at the petrol pumps and the lack of engine means no more messy filter changes and fuel spills
  • Low vibration – reducing the risk of HAVS (hand, arm vibration syndrome), making working for longer periods less strain on the user

Check out our top recommendations for cordless machines and accessories in 2020

The 18 inch / 45cm chainsaw features a quality Oregon bar and chain and bright LED headlights for increased visibility when sawing in the dark winter months. EGO’s leading-edge ARC batteries easily match the power output of petrol engines and the efficient brushless motor allows for precision cutting at an impressive 11,000 rpms. A large side mounted automatic chain tensioner dial minimises downtime by allowing the user to adjust on-the-go. The 54v batteries will charge all the hand-held tools in the EGO range making them excellent value for money, and when backed by EGO’s exceptional 5 year tool and 3 year battery warranty, there will be no going back to petrol after this purchase.
