Battery Lawn Edgers
Keeping the landscaping around your home or business not only looks nice but it also sometimes even can add to the value of the property. A lawn edger, sometimes known as a power edger, allows users to create a manicured look to grassy areas, especially where the grass meets pavement, such as driveways or footpaths. Battery-powered lawn edgers allow homeowners and professional landscapers to do the job without having to be near an electrical outlet.
What are the advantages of a battery lawn edger
A battery-powered lawn edger, or cordless lawn edger, is a safer and greener alternative to gas-powered lawn edgers. Battery-powered lawn edgers are also lightweight compared to gas-powered lawn edgers, emit no noxious fumes and are not as noisy as gas-powered lawn edgers. They are much easier to use than a manual lawn edger.
What are some features of a battery lawn edger
Battery-powered lawn edgers offer a number of features to aid in maintaining the clean look of your lawn and landscaping:
- Contoured, cushioned handles for easy grip
- Extra large wheels with durable rubber tread
- Plastic shield to prevent grass trimming from flying everywhere
- Telescoping pole that adjusts to the user's height
- Pivot mechanism that allows adjustment for all cutting depths
The majority of lawn edgers with rechargeable batteries use lithium-ion batteries. Other technologies that are available include nickel-cadmium batteries and nickel metal hybrid.
What are some similar battery-powered landscaping tools
Some additional types of landscaping tools that can run on battery power include:
- Grass, string or line trimmer
- Leaf or debris blower
- Hedge trimmer
- Pole saw
- Brush cutter
Each one of these has a specific purpose when it comes to lawn care or landscaping needs. String trimmers cut grass that is inaccessible or missed by a lawnmower. A leaf blower removes debris quickly without the need to rake. Hedge trimmers help keep bushes, trees and hedges looking nice. A pole saw is handy for removing unwanted branches and tree limbs. A brush cutter is similar to a grass trimmer but is usually used for trimming weeds or small trees. Some of these tools, such as those made by the same manufacturer, may use the same battery, which offers many benefits, such as always having an additional charged battery ready when the power runs out in the one you are using.
