I am planning to purchase a battery-powered hedge trimmer. That on its own is not too difficult, but with it, you also effectively buy into a battery system. There are certainly several good hedge trimmers from well-known manufacturers.
I know that additional purchases will follow soon: a battery-powered lawn mower for about 300sqm (3,200 sq ft) of lawn and a battery-powered screwdriver for hobby use—the old one with 9.6 volts is a bit weak.
This is already foreseeable, and there might be more tools I am not aware of yet.
I have seen that Makita, Bosch, and Ryobi offer devices that meet my requirements and allow me to use the same batteries across tools.
My questions:
- Are there other major manufacturers with systems that I should consider?
- Which manufacturer offers good products for my needs with a good price-performance ratio?
- What experiences can you share? For example, does any manufacturer have particularly good lawn mowers? (I believe most can do the hobby screwdriver well enough.)
Best regards,
Rainer Aldinger

angoletti124 Mar 2019 11:40Get a Makita with two 5Ah batteries at 18V (there are also compatible ones from third-party manufacturers that are a bit cheaper) and you're all set. You should enjoy using it for a long time.

hampshire25 Mar 2019 07:48My recommendation is also Makita, as Metabo does not offer a lawn mower.
At home, I have an 18V Ryobi and a 12V Makita. The yellow one has a lot more plastic and feels less high-quality than the blue one (for women: petrol blue; for nerds: RAL 5021).
I really push my 12V Makita—making lengthwise cuts in laminate with a jigsaw, cutting construction timber, assembling pallet furniture with the cordless drill. Everything works well. The 18V probably handles all that even better.
And especially cool: Makita offers 36V tools that simply run on two 18V batteries. The chainsaw, for example.
