When it comes to keeping a neat yard and edges, having the right tools is essential. While your lawn mower will ensure your yard is nice and tidy, edging gives it all that perfect finish that your neighbours will end up turning green with envy for,

Cheaply made models are going to wear out faster than high-quality models, but the good news is that you can get hedge trimmers from leading manufacturers like Makita at Hornibrooks Tools and Fasteners that are affordable and effective.

Well, it may be a very modern-day question, but it’s still one worth asking: are you better off with a mechanical lawnmower or battery-powered one? In years gone by, the traditional, petrol-powered option has always been the staple with electric versions lacking the power, the longevity and previously requiring a very long extension cord.

Things have changed dramatically, though, and you can now access battery-powered lawnmowers that are better for the environment, don't require petrol and pack all of the power you need for even heavy-duty jobs. So when you line up the modern electric mower against the traditional mechanical one, which one is going to stand the test of time the best?
