Innovative EGO Battery Now Sports More Amp Hours (And Run Time) Last Spring, we had the opportunity to be one of the first to look at the EGO Power Plus line with its innovative 56V battery platform. The results were outstanding. Later that year, they introduced their EGO 14″ chainsaw and brought us a better […]
It seems as if the blower is everyone’s first step in Lithium-Ion powered outdoor power equipment (OPE) these days. To the manufacturer’s credit, it’s probably the easiest one to make. Basically, you just need to a motor to spin an impeller inside a housing that creates an intake and air output. The rest is just […]
I remember trimming hedges at my Mom’s house. While I love my Mama, there was definitely some mental preparation that had to be done ahead of Koehler Family Work Day.
