10 Things You Should Know Before Buying a Battery-Powered Yard Tool

Simplicity

Battery-powered yard tools can do the same job as many electric and gas-powered yard tools while eliminating extension cord wrangling and gas, oil and annual tune ups.

Just plug in a fresh battery, press the start button and you’re off and running.
