How to Choose Well
Petrol survives only where runtime is king: acreage mowing and all-day commercial crews. For everyone else, battery mowers, trimmers and blowers start instantly, need no fuel mixing or servicing, and respect neighbourhood ears. Sharing batteries with your power tools seals the economics.
