Petrol or Battery: Choosing the Right Garden Tool
Battery powered garden tools are quieter and lower maintenance, suited to smaller domestic gardens. Petrol tools generally offer longer run time and more power, better suited to larger gardens, overgrown ground, or daily professional use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is petrol or battery better for a strimmer in Irish conditions?
Battery strimmers suit smaller, regularly maintained gardens with easy charging access. Petrol strimmers suit larger areas, heavier growth, or all day professional use where recharging is not practical.
Do you stock chainsaws for both domestic and professional use?
Yes, we stock a range of chainsaws suited to both occasional domestic use and heavier professional site work.
Can I source a specific garden tool brand not listed?
Yes, tell us what you need and we will try to source it for you.
What bar length chainsaw do I need for general garden use?
A shorter bar, around 30 to 35cm, suits general pruning and small tree work, while a longer bar is better suited to felling larger trees, choose based on the size of timber you expect to cut.
How do I choose between a corded, cordless and petrol lawnmower?
Corded mowers suit small gardens near a power source, cordless suits mid sized gardens with battery convenience, and petrol suits larger gardens needing longer uninterrupted run time.
My strimmer won't start, what should I check first?
Check the fuel mix and age for petrol models, or the battery charge level for cordless models, and ensure the spark plug or safety switch is not the issue before assuming a fault.
