New Tools
/I have two new tools.
The first one I bought at the end of last winter….and just now unpacked it – a Cordless Snow Blower (SnowJoe 48V 18-inch). The only parts that were separate from the pain unit were the two batteries, charger, and cover. I got it all out of the box then realized I need to read the manual since I haven’t used a snow blower before. I’ll do that in the next few days and be ready if there is snow in our forecast.
The second one was a tool I asked my husband to get for me – a pruning chainsaw (Ryobi 18V 6-inch). My sister had purchased one several years ago and enthusiastically recommended it. It came with a 2ah battery, and we had a 4ah one for our Ryobi weed-eater that will work with the chainsaw as well.
I am going to cut back the crape myrtles that are growing too high in the front flower beds and then work on cutting down the forsythia and Japanese barberry in my back yard. Those are my winter maintenance projects that can be done any day that gets above 60 degrees! I’ve read the manual and had a good first experience on one of the crape myrtles. I will only be cutting very small stems with my hand pruners from now on!
