Getting your trees and shrubs squared away for fall often includes trimming dead limbs, suckers, and rogue roots. And if you have big outdoor chores to tackle, you might have noticed that landscaping tools can be expensive. Milwaukee makes some of the best cordless cutting and trimming tools, and here are some deals up to 50% off for Labor Day.
Chainsaws M18 FUEL 14 in. 18V Brushless Cordless Battery Powered Top Handle Chainsaw with 5.0 Ah Battery $349.00 at Home Depot $508.00 Save $159.00 Get Deal
Get Deal $349.00 at Home Depot $508.00 Save $159.00 Although battery-powered chainsaws have been around since 2008, it's only been in the last five years or so that cordless tool batteries have become small and light enough, with enough battery life to run landscaping equipment like chainsaws without needing to be swapped out every few cuts. Milwaukee has been a frontrunner in bringing these tools to the home DIY crowd, launching their first battery-powered chainsaw in 2018.
Two of Milwaukee's best chainsaws are on sale for Home Depot's Labor Day event. Their 14-inch, 18-volt battery powered saw is on sale for $349, 31% off its regular price. It comes with a chain, a 12-amp-hour battery, an eight-amp-hour battery, and a charger. The eight-inch mini chainsaw is on sale for $249, 51% off its regular price. This saw comes with a chain, six-amp-hour battery, and a charger.
The larger, 14-inch saw can make up to 225 cuts on a single charge with the 12-amp-hour battery, and the smaller one can manage limbs up to four inches wide for around 100 cuts. These saws are smaller and lighter than gas-powered chainsaws, and they also cut up to 30% faster. The downside is that the batteries periodically need to be recharged, so they're not great for giant jobs, or situations where a charging station isn't practical. For most home landscaping jobs, though, these saws will perform well.
Combo sets M12 FUEL 6 in. 12V Brushless Cordless Battery Pruning Mini Chainsaw $439.00 at Home Depot $896.00 Save $457.00 Get Deal
Get Deal $439.00 at Home Depot $896.00 Save $457.00 If you have more than just limbs to manage for your fall yard maintenance chores, your trimming tools might include a hedge trimmer or a pair of powered pruning shears as well as a saw.
The Milwaukee 12-volt, six-inch cordless mini chainsaw and powered cordless pruning shears set is on sale for $439, 51% off its regular price. The set comes with a twp-amp-hour 12-volt battery, two four-amp-hour 12-volt batteries, two six-amp-hour 12-volt batteries, and two chargers along with the powered pruners and the saw. A similar set that includes an eight-inch hedge trimmer instead of a set of powered pruning shears is also on sale for $439.
These two sets are good for smaller trimming jobs, and the powered pruners have come in handy for me when I trim my shrub roses and to get suckers off my Hawthorne tree. If you don't need a full-on chainsaw, but still have some yard work to do, these smaller sets are a good option, and they come with everything you need to start pruning right out of the box.
