Handheld battery-powered tools have come a long way from their first iterations, especially over the past few years. I've started making the switch away from gas-powered equipment throughout the last few seasons for my business and have found the switch to be positive for my workflow and bottom line. This is a trend I believe will continue as batteries become more powerful and long-lasting. Are you utilizing any battery-powered equipment and, if so, do you have any favorites you'd like to share??bedellmgmt2 months agoJobber Ambassador876Views3likes14CommentsYou Quit Your Job to Start a Business — So Why Gamble on a Used Truck?
Everybody says the same thing: “Just buy a used truck, it’s cheaper.” Yet, That same truck breaks down 3–6 months later. Now your jobs are delayed. You’re borrowing vehicles from your spouse or rental. You’re stressed out and behind on bills. And suddenly the “cheaper option” is costing you way more. Here's my personal take: You quit your job ... You are betting 100% on yourself, to care for your livelihood. If you’re betting your whole future on this business — why risk it with a vehicle that might leave you stranded? I hate blaming others, or the lack of accountability. So if I can control one variable — like my ability to show up to the job, that will pay me for my services... I’m going to do it. But that's just my opinion. My hot take, What do you all think? I created this visual for myself to follow and share whenever anyone is deciding to get a vehicle.EnergizeUs2 months agoBuilder 166Views1like2CommentsLooking for Recommendations on Affordable, Reliable Landscaping Tools
Hi everyone! I’m fairly new to landscaping started this year, and I’m looking for some advice from the pros who’ve been doing this a lot longer than I have. Right now, I handle everything from gutter cleanings and hedge trimmings (boxwoods, hedges, leaf removal) to weed eating and general yard work. I’m working with basic tools and a lot of heart and passion. Most of the money I earn goes right back into the business, so I don’t have top-tier equipment yet. I’m hoping to get recommendations on reliable, affordable leaf blowers, trimmers, hedge clippers, and any other tools or gear that make jobs easier and more efficient. I’m still researching and plan to upgrade one piece at a time as I can afford it. Any tips or advice would mean a lot thank you all in advance!59Views3likes3CommentsWood-hollowing tools
I run a wildlife preservation company that installs habitats into trees. Carving bars on small chainsaws are good, but I’d like to find a better an more useful tool that can bore holes deep into the heartwood. Any recommendations?raventc3 months agoContributor 231Views1like1CommentMilwaukee vs DeWalt Tools, which one?
