Kick Gas in Yard Care
Battery-powered, cordless lawn care tools are great choices for yard maintenance this spring
TOWSON, Md., May 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring has arrived and lawn care is on the top of our minds. However, for those of us who need new equipment, the options aren't necessarily clear 'cut'. With the recent advances in lithium ion technology, there are many reasons to finally make the switch from tools that use gas to cordless electric tools.
Not too long ago, there were concerns with the power and runtime of electric outdoor tools. Since then however, battery-powered outdoor tools have advanced. For example, the 20V MAX* Lithium High Performance Trimmer/Edger from BLACK+DECKER delivers up to an hour of runtime, meaning you no longer have to fill up at the expensive, out-of-the-way gas pump to get through the cut. Also some battery-powered cordless tool systems feature trimmers, blowers, and even mowers that work off of the same rechargeable batteries like the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX* or 40V MAX** Lithium Ion systems.
Battery-powered, cordless outdoor tools are also typically light weight, easy to start, low maintenance, and quiet. Electric mowers can be great solutions for communities with noise restrictions, helping to keep your neighbors happy. We recommend mowing comfortably in the morning which beats the midday heat.
And BLACK+DECKER's electric cordless tools release zero emissions in your yard. Whether you're tired of the expense, maintenance and noise of gas-powered tools, or are concerned with the environmental impact of gas, consider expanding your equipment choices and try a battery-powered outdoor tool.
*Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18.
**Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload) is 40 volts. Nominal voltage is 36.
