Kobalt 80V Chainsaw Review

The EGO 21 in snow blower is one of only a handful of cordless battery-powered snow blowers.

We occasionally give Caleb a tool topic to write about (this month it was cordless backpack blowers), and he goes to town writing a story.

EGO LM2100SP Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Review
