Supplementing Gas Power With Battery Power
Suggesting to a lawn care professional that battery-powered lawn equipment might one day replace the standard gas-powered option might get you laughed at. I know this from experience.

EGO Power Head String Trimmer Edger Review
Having already reviewed both the EGO 56V cordless string trimmer and the EGO 15 in brushless string trimmer, getting our hands on the brand new EGO power head string trimmer seemed a logical next step.
