Why not petrol tools in the garden?
After over 15 years of using professional petrol garden machinery, my experience taught me the following, it vibrates a lot, is very noisy (especially 2 stroke engines like chainsaws, strimmers and leaf blowers), can leak oil, sometimes will not start, and highly flammable! So I looked, to see if these new generation of battery machines can finally cut it (excuse the pun), and they most definitely can!
My decision of whether to use petrol or not, was made easier when I read the negative effects that petrol tools have on us and the planet
Petrol tools are dirty, very noisy (up to 3x the noise of an equivalent cordless tool!) and produce harmful emissions. Battery tools are much less noisy, produce no emissions and are safer. Also, my battery tools take energy from sustainable sources
In much the same way as electric cars are becoming more normal, I truly believe that battery powered equipment will become the norm, in the coming years
I have researched all the battery options available and chose the brand EGO, as they are very high quality, very powerful, reliable and perform as good, if not better than, their petrol equivalents
I have solar panels for the roof of my van and these will help provide the energy for charging the batteries which I use on the tools, which results in the ultimate sustainable eco garden care business
