Live from Lurvey in Des Plaines, Lou Manfredini sat down with Jake Ter Haar from State Street Repair to talk about the growing popularity of battery-powered outdoor power equipment, especially Toro’s lineup of tools, and why more homeowners are making the switch. Jake explained that Toro’s battery-powered tools require far less maintenance than gas equipment, are easier to use, and have come a long way in both runtime and reliability.

The conversation also highlighted Toro’s Flex-Force Battery Power System, which uses one interchangeable battery to power more than 75 outdoor tools—from mowers and trimmers to blowers, chain saws and snow blowers.
