On My Mind – Upgrading Outdoor Power Equipment
July 27, 2026
Trying to decide what ecosystem of battery powered outdoor tools to jump into is tough! What I need immediately is a hedge trimmer, to replace my corded one that has some serious mileage on it. I like the idea of losing the cord and this being my first battery tool, it sets the stage for future tools and I don’t want to get it wrong. Maybe Milwaukee so I can use the same batteries for other tools I want to replace? Maybe Stihl or Ego, but they only seem to offer outdoor power tools???
