My Excellent Choices

My first EGO purchase was their 16-inch chainsaw. This variable speed blower was my 3rd EGO battery-powered tool, and I want to share my satisfaction with the EGO platform of light and easy to use home improvement tools!

Those competing yard, garden and construction tool manufacturers have their own proprietary battery systems and attachments. Therefore, your first purchase of any of these interchangeable battery systems should always get a close evaluation. I tried two other BATTERY-POWERED systems before I settled on EGO, and I don’t regret it.

The removable and rechargeable battery packs for the EGO line are available in different capacities. The smaller batteries do not last as long as the heavier ones, but the lightest batteries are perfect for the chain saw, the Blower and any other tools that you hand-carry.

I get about 30 minutes of use from a battery that recharges on the EGO fast charger in about the same time. Two batteries and a brief break every thirty minutes to swap out with the charger, and you can work more or less continuously with these powerful helpers.

If you shop on Amazon, you will find that batteries, chargers and tools are sold individually and in bundles. Do the math and mix and match for the best price. I found that I personally saved money when a battery was included. One tool bundled with a standard charger turned out to be similar in price to the tool alone.

It pays to plan for the combination of tools, batteries and chargers that you may need in the short term. Shop for the best configuration. Remember, the chain saw battery is interchangeable with the blower, and the weed trimmer, etc. Is EGO pushing out special bundles and SKU’s with each season? I can’t say, but it pays to browse the EGO store on Amazon to seek out the current bargain.
