Buying Guide

Batteries are generally only compatible within one manufacturer's system. Pay attention to voltage (V) and capacity (Ah): the voltage must match the tool, while capacity determines runtime. For high-power-draw tools such as chainsaws or angle grinders, a battery with higher capacity is advisable.

Hose diameter determines the possible water flow, and couplings must match the system. Plan sprinklers according to their range and the shape of the area, and avoid overly long hose runs so that pressure is maintained.

Bypass shears are suited to fresh wood, anvil shears to dry branches. Look for replaceable spare parts such as blades and springs – this significantly extends the tool's service life.

For work with powered equipment, hearing protection, safety glasses and cut-resistant gloves are essential basic equipment. Check the stated protection classes and standards of the products.
