The era of petrol handhelds is coming to the end...Sorry to all the fans of the smell of two-stroke!

With a broad range of brands now offering battery handhelds, there is a lot to consider before dipping your toe in:

- Warranty and durability
- Range of equipment and attachments
- Brand and battery lock-in
- Battery sizes and configurations
- Weight and Ergonomics
- And does the time saved on servicing and fuel make switching cost-effective?
