Kobalt 80V String Trimmer Review
Kobalt 80V String Trimmer First Impressions Kobalt made waves in our Lithium-Ion Mower Shootout with their 80V mower. Not surprisingly, it’s just the first in a line of 80V OPE (outdoor power equipment) for 2015 that also includes the Kobalt 80V String Trimmer that we’re looking at today.

DeWalt 40V Max String Trimmer Review
DeWalt DCST990H1 40V MAX Lithium Ion XR Brushless 15” String Trimmer As a life long piston-head, DeWalt’s ‘Gas Performance Guarantee’ piqued my interest on the new DeWalt 40V Max String Trimmer.

EGO 15 in String Trimmer 56V Brushless Model Review

Greenworks Trimmer G-Max 14" 40V Digipro Review
We’re starting to get into a lot of 40V tools this year. It may be the fact that, being based out of central Florida, we get a jump on the rest of the editorial world, since we don’t get snow and can start these Spring products much sooner than our “chillier” northern compadres. In either […]
