1- BEST CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER
Worx WG252 $130
This beauty is light, powerful, easily
adjusts through various angles and
lengths, and reaches up to about
11 feet. That’s what we experienced
when we trimmed all our hedges
and a variety of bushes with the
WG252. What more could you ask
for in a cordless hedge trimmer?
Not much, considering how reason-
able the price is. - BEST PRO-DUTY
CORDLESS STRING TRIMMER
Makita XRU15PT $389
This high-torque trimmer is quiet,
well balanced, and runs without
vibration. Its three speed settings
provide precise control. Power
through tall, wet grass or tip the
trimmer vertically to use as an
edger. Push in the momentary-
reverse switch and the head brief ly
counter-rotates to clear weeds
wound around it.
↑ BEST PRO-DUTY CORDLESS MOWER
Makita XML06PT $800
If you take lawn mowing seriously, this steel-
deck, 36-volt mower is sure to please. Its specs:
four 18-volt batteries, an 18-inch cut width,
ball-bearing wheels, rear-wheel drive, and two
modes (2,500 and 3,500 rpm). The all-important
cut and bagging quality proved excellent.↓ BEST CORDLESS SNOWBLOWER
Ego Power+ SNT2405 $1,299
Using the Ego Power+ is a breeze. With a differential in the axle
and relatively low weight, it’s easy to maneuver. We like how
freely the chute moves through its 200-degree arc and how far it
launches snow (or, in our testing, wet sawdust): more than 30 feet.2March/April 2021 59CO
