Battery Powered Lawn Tools

I’d be shocked if that worked for a wydaho storm

Recommend for use with two EGO 56V 7.5 Ah ARC Lithium™ batteries to clear an 18 car driveway with 8" of snow on a single charge

That’s a double wide 160 foot driveway.
Two batteries needed. And only 8 inches of snow.
At least it’s dry snow. But a big storm cycle would be a challenge. Please report back next winter.

My driveway is four cars, and I live in town (where it barely snows anymore).
I bet it’s going to be fine. Either way, I am giving my gasser to my next door neighbor, who I have let use it for four years…I’m good. But yes, I’ll do a detailed report.

Best battery powered pole saw? Ego?

I haven’t used an Ego, but I can recommend Milwaukee’s from my experience with it.

My little greenworks 40v pole saw is fantastic. It's a good application for battery power since the chain is short and the cuts are all pretty small. I like the full size battery saw of theirs also but the pole saw feels like there's no compromises going battery powered vs gas.

Launching for next spring

Think it'll retail for north of $1k with the appropriate battery(s?) and charger?

No word on that yet, but it will need to be competitive with existing stuff I think.

Milwaukee is never price competitive

But I bet that will be the best e mower yet

Is there a consensus on what company has the best suite of yard tools (weedwhacker, hedge clipper, pole saw, blower)?

I just have a Worx weedwhacker, which is fine, but I'm gonna get a couple things and might just start over and have everything using the same batteries. Maybe Stihl?

I’ve been happy with the ryobi 40v but I don’t think they are the “best”. Mower, blower, hedge trimmer, pole saw. Wish they made a 40v impact.

Yeah I don't know that I necessarily need the absolute best, more just looking for what's good and recommended.

I’m using the Greenworks brand and happy. Have the mower, trimmer, hedge clippers, and leaf blower.

I’d probably go Makita if I were to do it over again.

Still very happy with the Ego stuff. Just have the mower, two stage snowblower, and now a string trimmer. Definitely ‘home use’ and not ‘pro use’, that would be my critique. Should be interesting when the real electric forestry tools come out.
I don’t think the Ego construction is robust enough for more than a few hours of flogging a month, at most.

OK, I got ask about the snow blower. How well does that work? How long does the battery last in the cold? And how cold can you use that battery? I assume you have to bring the batteries inside for charging?
