Ryobi 40V HP Chainsaw
So far, 2024 has been an exciting year in the world of OPE. Indeed, the major players have been firing on all cylinders, rolling out impressive additions to their product lines.

EGO 56V 20-Inch Chainsaw CS2005
For many years, gas was the only fuel option for a heavy-workload chainsaw–plain and simple. But, to invoke Bob Dylan’s lyrics, “Times, they are a-changin’.” Indeed, battery-powered gear has come a long way, and, believe me, that’s an understatement. Take, for example, EGO’s chainsaw lineup and, more specifically, the 20-inch 56V CS2005. This tool is […]

This is particularly the case with tools like chainsaws, which generally demonstrate solid capability when they have fuel tanks […]

Saker Merges Lightweight Design with Heavy-Duty Performance Here at OPE Reviews, we work with a lot of chainsaws. They come in many sizes and serve a broad range of purposes. But the big ones can be intimidating. Moreover, they can involve a learning curve when you’re still acquiring chainsaw basics. The mini saws, on the […]
Black and Decker Alligator Lopper LLP120B
The lopper has long been a go-to tool for pruning tree branches. Typically, we see the long-handled design, which certainly has its benefits. For one, this variation enhances reach. Furthermore, it enables you to leverage the muscles in your entire arm rather than your hand and wrist. And, certainly, they beat the heck out of […]

When it comes time to prune your trees, there are quite a few tools for you to choose from. For example, you can go with a 14-inch chainsaw, or maybe you have a pair of loppers in the garage or shed. Each of these options is fine. But, if you want to get really bullish […]
