Where the work is

Out in the yard

The fence line, the beds, the gravel drive and whatever the last storm left behind. Everything here works outside, away from an outlet.

39 pieces land here, drawn from 4 shelves.

What this place asks of a tool

Cordless is not a preference out here

The nearest outlet is usually inside the house behind a closed door. Battery tools are what actually reach the back corner of a lot.

One pack, several bodies

Tools in the same cordless family share their packs and chargers. A second battery is often the cheaper upgrade compared with a second tool.

Weather is part of the job

Wet grass, cold mornings and dust are the working conditions, not exceptions. Wiping a tool down before it goes back in the shed is most of the upkeep.

Mini chainsaws and saws

Short bar saws for limbs, storm cleanup and firewood rounds, with the chains, bars and files that keep them cutting.

Yard and garden

Tillers, trimmers, blowers and hand tools for turning packed soil, clearing a bed and taking leaves off a gravel drive.

Lights, storage and home

Work lights, headlamps, hooks and storage pieces that turn a dark corner into a place where you can find things.

How this page is put together

Yard jobs arrive in a certain order after a storm or a long month away. Something came down and has to be cut, the pieces have to be moved, the ground underneath has to be opened or cleared, and by then it is getting dark. The tools on this page follow that sequence.

What they have in common is not the shelf they came from. A mini chainsaw, a leaf blower, a tiller and a work light live under four different tool types, and out here they all end up in the same wheelbarrow on the same afternoon.

Not sure which of these it is?

Answer two questions about what is in front of you and the finder points at the shelf that handles it.
