The Greenworks Commercial 82V H.O.G. chainsaw is a clear statement piece for what battery-powered saws are capable of right now!

The Stihl HSA 140 T hedge trimmer steps boldly into that space with a high blade speed and a design focused on control and comfort.

Battery-powered chainsaws have reached a point where the conversation is no longer about whether they can compete with gas—it’s about which cordless platform delivers the best performance for the job.

Toro has built a strong reputation in the zero-turn mower space, especially among homeowners who want Pro-grade performance without paying full-blown fleet pricing. Sitting near the top of the company’s residential lineup, the Titan Max aims to bridge that gap by combining heavy-duty construction, premium comfort features, and serious cutting performance into one package.

The Makita GCU08Z feels like a major step forward for Makita's cordless chainsaw line, and XGT's battery advancements help it get there. It combines high chain speed, refined ergonomics, and Pro-grade durability into a package that genuinely challenges mid-sized gas saws. The cutting performance is excellent, the controls are thoughtfully designed, and the overall user experience feels polished from top to bottom.

Battery-powered hedge trimmers are'nt just convenient alternatives to gas, they're true competition. Is the Husqvarna 522iHD60 right for you?

The DeWalt DW0150 succeeds by keeping things simple. While I found it to be generally dependable for both wood and metal studs, whether it’s the right fit for you depends on the types of walls you run into.

If your yard has a lot of open mowing space and you’ve been wanting a faster cordless alternative without stepping up to a rider, EGO’s 30-inch mower makes a compelling case. The combination of wide-cut productivity, strong dual-blade performance, and EGO’s broad 56V platform gives it real appeal for homeowners mowing medium- to large-sized properties. It’s especially attractive if you already own 56V batteries and want to stay in the ecosystem.

If you’re looking for a dependable mid-size shop vacuum that delivers strong performance without stretching your budget, the Ridgid HD1200 is an easy recommendation. What stands out most is how balanced this vacuum feels. It posted excellent debris pickup results in our testing, stayed right on DeWalt’s heels in water removal, and turned in the best performance with larger debris. Pair that with the locking hose system, practical onboard storage, and Ridgid’s Full Lifetime Warranty, and you’ve got a vac that feels ready for everything from garage cleanup and woodworking to renovation work around the house.
