Should I buy corded or cordless electric garden tools?
We stock a range of corded and cordless garden machinery, and both types offer great benefits.
If you’re looking for more longevity for prolonged use, corded tools use 240v plugs to provide consistent power. They can also be more powerful than cordless tools. However, you will need a nearby power source, which isn’t always convenient.
Cordless garden tools offer more flexibility as you can move around with no cords. However, you will also need to charge the batteries for longer jobs. The good news is that outdoor power tools from Makita, Black and Decker, STIHL, and other top rated brands run on efficient Li-Ion batteries, so you can get more done on a single charge.

Garden Power Tools FAQs
Where can I plug in garden power tools?
Corded power tools will need a plug outlet. You’ll need to be able to plug your garden power tools into a 240v socket at home, or you’ll need a transformer for 110v tools on worksites. Cordless power tools are convenient for gardening as they are battery-powered, so there’s no need to worry about access to plug sockets.
How do you care for outdoor power tools?
We recommend cleaning your outdoor power tools after every use to remove grass, leaves, or other garden debris. You’ll also need to regularly lubricate any moving parts with suitable oil and make sure you charge the batteries on cordless power tools.
Where should you store outdoor power tools?
To keep your garden power tools in good working condition, you’ll also want to store them somewhere safe and dry to avoid rust and corrosion. We have a range of garden storage options to protect your outdoor power tools from the elements.
