Garden Power Tools

Are battery-operated garden tools powerful?

Battery operated garden tools can be just as powerful as corded electric garden tools, however typically corded power tools are more powerful due to their access to a continuous power supply. If you're stuck between the two, it’s best to choose corded garden tools when you are doing heavy-duty tasks and where mobility is not an issue.

Should I buy corded or cordless electric garden tools?

The decision between corded and cordless garden tools relies on various factors:

• Cost: If you’re looking for a more cost effective option, cordless tools are the best choice as they are generally cheaper and require less maintenance as you won’t need to buy batteries. However you are likely to need an outdoor safe extension cord to help you operate a corded power tool.
• Mobility and Convenience: Cordless tools are a great choice if you are worried about mobility and convenience. Corded tools limit movement due to your connection with a wire. These wires can also become unsafe, especially when you have an extension cord due to the trip hazard.
• Power: Corded tools are the better choice if you’re looking for power. Since they are connected to a continuous power supply, their power doesn’t wane like a cordless tool which is relying on a battery. For that reason they are also better for lengthy jobs.

It’s also important to consider the landscape of your garden and how you plan to use tools. For example, if your garden space is quite large, cordless garden tools are likely to be your best option. So make sure to fully access your garden needs and space before making any purchases.
