Gardening tools

Advice Request - (Insert State/Region)

Okay I recognize that this is not strictly about native plants but it is about the tools that we use for plants.

If that's not allowed feel free to delete.

I have always heard that you should find one tool company and buy all your tools from them That way you have a lot of different battery packs that fit in all your different tools. I have a Craftsman electric leaf blower that I use to blow the leaves off the driveway and pathway and leave them on the areas of the yard that I want to leave them. This leaf blower came with in a pack with a weed wacker. I think I bought them on Black Friday a long time ago. The battery and the charger and the leaf blower are all kind of failing and the leaf blower has always kind of sucked.

All my other tools are from different companies that I have just kind of accumulated over the years and I'm like okay if tools are starting to fail it's time to pick a brand and just stick with it.

So I ask everyone for your electric gardening tools what is the brand that you find works best I do want battery powered I do not want to lug around a cord and I prefer lighter tools simply because I'm kind of lazy I don't want to look around a 50 lb leaf blower I remember doing that as a child I didn't like it. And unfortunately, I have not won the lottery so I can't spend a billion bucks.

So does anybody have advice on what brands they would choose to start replacing my tools with as they fail so that I can get the benefits of having lots of different batteries from one brand?
