Honda Power Tools
Episode: # 30 22/12/07

There are a few tools that we should all have in our backyard regardless of the garden size. A line trimmer, blower vac and a lawn mower are absolutely essential. But, did you know that in sixty per cent of Australian homes these machines are powered by two stroke engines. Two strokes are the engines where you have to mix oil and petrol at a ratio, that most of us never get right. Inevitably they burn lots of fuel and the carbon emissions from the average lawnmower are much worse than your car.
The Department of Environment reported that if six out of ten householders mowed their lawn within the same period the resulting air pollution would be equivalent to two hundred and forty cars driving around their backyards for an hour.
The good news is that there are better alternatives in four stroke engines which are better to use, are environmentally friendly, last longer and they require less maintenance over their lifespan. They run off unleaded fuel making them easier to use and better for the environment.
Some of the best models for your environmentally garden came from the good people that produce fantastic environmentally motor vehicles, Honda.
The bench shaft brush-cutter is very powerful, it starts first time every time, and it has an easy to operate tap and go nylon cutting thread. Summer is a very important time to cut down any long grass and weeds and using the 360 degree manoeuvrability of the Honda brush-cutter makes it perfect for almost any trimming job around the home.
The lawnmower is an absolute ripper, even if you have a huge lawn it makes mowing dead easy. It is super powerful, has a lightweight but extremely strong aluminium deck and a huge 54 litre polymer catcher for all your clippings.
After you’ve cut, mowed and trimmed the whole garden you really need to give it a good clean up. You can’t go past a machine like the Honda blower vac. They are absolutely brilliant, they are light weight, ergonomically designed, are incredibly powerful and vibration proofed. Blower vacs are an excellent way to go and why would you waste water washing the driveway down with a hose when you could use a blower vac to clean it up.
