Of all the tool manufacturers in the market, Milwaukee is among the oldest and the most esteemed. We’ve covered countless models in their lineups, and, no doubt, they’ve consistently impressed us. This goes for their Pro- and consumer-grade outdoor power equipment. Regarding the latter, there’s the Milwaukee M18 Fuel 3017 leaf blower. Up front, we […]
When it comes to commercial gear, Exmark is at the top of the list. In a comparatively short time (est. 1982), the brand has become a go-to source of zero-turns, and they’re doing pretty well with their push models, too. That includes the battery-powered Exmark Commercial 30 V-Series mower. We saw this model at Equip […]
For many years, gas was the only fuel option for a heavy-workload chainsaw–plain and simple. But, to invoke Bob Dylan’s lyrics, “Times, they are a-changin’.” Indeed, battery-powered gear has come a long way, and, believe me, that’s an understatement.

EGO’s lineup for late 2023 and 2024 is extensive and, quite frankly, exciting. Indeed, we attended their sneak-peek event at last fall’s Equip Expo in Louisville, KY, where they unveiled several models. One of them was the EGO 56V Earth Auger (EG0803). If this is a tool that you need in your arsenal, then keep […]
As cordless technology expands, so does the number of batteries that can run on a single tool at one time. Milwaukee is among the brands leading the way in building a fleet of such equipment. The lineup includes the M18 Fuel Self-Propelled Lawn Mower , the Dual-Battery Leaf Blower , and the M18 Fuel Backpack […]
The backpack blower is a great platform. They take the load off your wrist, elbows, forearm, and upper arm. In doing so, these tools put the weight on your shoulders, where you can carry more. In addition, they’re highly maneuverable, and, generally speaking, more powerful. And, now that we’re through singing their praises, it’s time […]
