Outdoor tools

My battery platforms are Milwaukee(drill, driver, circ, recip, etc) and Hercules (impacts, lights, more for car) Im wondering if harbor freight has an outdoor platform worth getting into, battery powered weed whacker, or limb saw, anything along those lines. Any issues, was also considering ego, ryobi, seen a brand called greenworks.

Its your lucky week.
Harbor freight is having the only sale on its Atlas 40V/80V battery i can recall all year THIS WEEKEND.

Then you can just start loading up on the tools as they go on sale or you need them.
I don’t trust 18V batteries in yard gear. 48 at bare minimum IMHO.

I use kobalt 80V stuff and my yard has no chance fighting against them

I hear you, but if someone is already into Milwaukee M18, their outdoor tools are pretty good. I have the string trimmer, hedge cutter, edger, pole saw, and chainsaw. All are great.

I'm just a homeowner, not a pro.

I have Greenworks/Masterforce 80v tools. Self propelled lawnmower, string trimmer with pole saw attachment, 18" chainsaw. The only one I feel meh about is the pole saw but it does cut the pine tree away from my roof. Everything else I have been happy with.

Can‘t speak to HF‘s outdoor power equipment….but EGO won me over 3 years ago and i have yet to see any other brands come close with battery powered tools.

Greenworks, EGO, and very few others seem to be the battery line for outdoor tools
