Cordless Outdoor Tools

Man Blogger — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:34:56 +0000

Black and Decker makes a really nice set of cordless tools for use around the yard. Tools they make include a chainsaw, garden cultivator, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, and more. What nice about this system is that all these tools are powered by the same 18 volt battery, so if you want to use one, just drop a battery in. There’s no mixing and no cords. Just turn it on and go. It’s truly a lifesaver, and it makes using these tools so easy, the wife could do it! That’s always a plus.

Another nice thing I had up north this past weekend was a lawn chair with a built in table. It’s nice because I could have my chair set up around the bonfire with all my friends and the table could hold my plate of food, and the cupholder kept my beer from spilling. Everyone that had regular boring lawn chairs was jealous of my tabled superiority. The only way it could be better was if it had a robot to get me a new beer when my I finish one.
