Husqvarna Automower 315 Robotic Lawn Mower Review
I have a deep love of robots. From R2D2 to the Terminator, to the HAL 9000 of 2001: A Space Odyssey, I’ve always held a fascination for these programmable machines. Robots that can take on both personality and independent thinking for themselves are just plain cool…unless they rise up to take over. In any case, […]
DeWalt 40V Max Backpack Blower Review
It seems like just about everyone has a lithium-ion blower these days, but DeWalt may have just released the best battery powered blower focused on professional users. The new DeWalt 40V Max Backpack Blower is taking performance, design, and run time to a level we simply haven’t seen before. Why bother heading this direction? Do […]
Kobalt 80V Blower Review
Kobalt and Greenworks made waves this year in OPE when they unveiled their 80V lineups. This pushes the power in terms of voltage well beyond the 56V platform we saw from EGO and doubles the standard 40V landscaping tools on the market. We already looked at the Kobalt 80V String Trimmer, which boasted several improvements […]
Kobalt 80V String Trimmer Review

Further down the line, we’ll also get […]
Husqvarna T535i XP 36V Chainsaw Review
Lithium-ion powered Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE) is taking off at a ridiculous pace. We had the first major push in the 40V lines become mainstream last year just in time for EGO to blow us away with their 56V lineup. This year, we see even more coming out with Worx adding a 58V platform, and […]
EGO 56V Cordless Chainsaw Review
It’s clear that we’ve been impressed to-date with most of the tools from the EGO 56V cordless tools line. It’s not that battery powered tools are the right solution for every single application. More and more, however, these are the pros and serious DIYers are turning to when they come home to do their landscaping […]
Warn Cordless PullzAll Review
The Warn cordless PullzAll is a portable motorized winch/hoist with a maximum capacity of 1,000 pounds that’s available in both corded and 24-volt cordless models. Unlike some portable winches, the DC version doesn’t rely on being wired to a nearby vehicle’s battery; it is a self-contained unit with an onboard rechargeable battery pack like other […]
