How do I choose the right garden tool?

Consider your garden size, the specific tasks you need to complete, and how often you'll use the tool. For occasional use, mid-range options offer the best value. For regular use, invest in quality brands with good warranty and parts availability.

Are cordless garden tools as good as petrol?

Modern 36V+ cordless tools match petrol for most domestic tasks. They're quieter, lighter, require less maintenance, and start instantly. Petrol still wins for all-day professional use, but for typical homeowners, cordless is now the better choice.

How should I store garden tools in winter?

Clean tools thoroughly, removing soil and plant debris. Oil metal parts to prevent rust. Store batteries at 40-60% charge in a frost-free location. Drain fuel from petrol equipment or add stabiliser. Keep in a dry shed or garage, off concrete floors.

What warranty should I expect?

Consumer-grade tools typically offer 2-3 year warranties. Premium brands may offer 5+ years on motors. Battery warranties are usually shorter (2 years). Register your product to activate warranty. Keep receipts - you'll need proof of purchase for claims.

Is it worth buying branded batteries?

Yes, for safety and performance. Third-party batteries may void warranties, lack safety circuits, and degrade faster. Genuine batteries cost more but last longer and won't damage your tools. Many brands now offer multi-tool battery systems for better value.
