Whether you’re clearing the backyard of dead trees or you want a healthier landscape, it’s crucial to have several power tools at your disposal. While renting such power equipment can offer benefits, such as not worrying about making repairs, it’s best to purchase a few essential items if you’re planning on continuously caring for your lawn yourself.

4 Power Tools to Keep On-Hand

1.  Chainsaw

Chainsaws are available in different sizes, from light models perfect for homeowners to heavy-duty professional-grade tools. STIHL® offers battery and gas saws. These tools are crucial for cutting trees, removing stubborn bushes, and slicing thick chunks of wood slabs for building projects.

2. Lawnmower

A lawnmower is an essential power equipment in a homeowner’s shed, as it’s useful for keeping the lawn short and making your property look neat. If you’re not familiar with lawnmowers, start with a light-weight, easy-to-use zero-turn model. If you’re mowing a large area, or you have an ailment that doesn’t allow you to stand up for prolonged periods, it’s best to invest in a riding mower, as these tools allow users to sit while cutting the lawn.

3. Trimmer

Trimmers are essential for making your lawn look clean and tidy. These tools, which are available in gas- or battery-powered models, allow homeowners to access areas that a lawnmower can’t reach. From trimming the edge of the lawn to shaping bushes, it’s crucial to invest in a hedge and string trimmer to help you keep your lawn and bushes healthy.

4. Multi-Task Tools

For larger tasks, consider investing in multi-use tools. STIHL manufactures a wide range of versatile equipment that can perform a variety of functions around the home or farm, including cultivating, plowing, aerating, sweeping, and brushing. Their equipment comes in a variety of power levels, with a wide array of attachments available to fill an almost-endless list of needs.

From blowers to pressure washers, STIHL has a variety of tools that homeowners can keep in their shed to properly maintain their property. Pole pruners allow the user to carefully trim off dead or diseased branches, while concrete cutters are excellent for breaking up heavy slabs of the material.
