Exmark Commercial V-Series Mower
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 […]
40V Ryobi Backpack Blower RY404170
It never ceases to amaze us just how powerful battery-powered gear is these days. Years ago, hedge trimmers were the most common cordless tools, largely because they required less juice than others.

Ryobi Stocking Stuffer Tool Ideas
Okay, so we all know that Santa Claus is real. Twice, we’ve caught his elves snooping around the OPE Reviews compound. Once, in the shop checking out gear that’s awaiting review, and, most recently, out back admiring our fescue. (It still hasn’t gone dormant.) Anyway, we’re sure the Big Guy has got his list, has […]

However, we think that the traditional lawn tractor is keeping up with its ZT counterparts. For instance, their overall control characteristics have evolved as more models hit the market with […]
Husqvarna 525BX Leaf Blower
Husqvarna has been in business for over 300 years–something most companies can’t say. They started out building rifles for the Swiss Army. Then, in the 1870s, they tried their hand at producing just about everything else. Ultimately, their production portfolio grew to encompass sewing machines, wood stoves, bicycles, the first Swedish typewriter, mincing machines, and […]
Best Backpack Leaf Blower Reviews 2023
When it comes to blowers, backpack models represent the big guns. They’re not always the most powerful, but the mere sight of one alone signals that the user has it going on, so to speak. Of course, there are many choices when hunting for a new backpack leaf blower, which is why we’re here to […]
Toro Titan Zero Turn
Talking to a Toro rep, you’d think the 54-inch Titan zero turn (75305) is a living, breathing creature. Indeed, they put it succinctly in conversation and in their marketing materials. Apparently, this thing has “Pro DNA running through its veins.” Of course, this begs the question of how true that statement is. Undoubtedly, the 75305 […]
