March 20, 2012 by Chad Gillikin

Stihl HSA 65 Cordless Hedge Trimmer Extended Use Review , a Cordless Hedge Trimmer for Commercial Use

March 9, 2012 by Chad Gillikin

By: Hal Jones When we first got the HSA 65 to review I was interested in the 36 volt platform Stihl had just introduced.

During the fall and winter seasons, soil is naturally composed of straw, grass, clippings and leaves which help to naturally fertilize terrain, but it may not be enough to replenish soil back to its ultimate health. Fortunately, Bio S.I, Lawn […]

Milwaukee Power Tools Media Event

July 22, 2011 by Jake Thomas

By: Hal Jones Ok, so maybe the most anticipated announcement had nothing to do with tools, but rather with the unveiling of the M12 heated jacket in camouflage.  But Milwaukee has once again surprised us and gone the route of tool revolution instead of just tool evolution, and is bringing to market a new product that will […]

July 18, 2011 by Jake Thomas
