REVIEW The WORX WG261 is a good mid-price hedge trimmer, but is only suited for small gardens and light yardwork tasks.

The Tanaka TRB24EAP by Hitachi is a lightweight gas-powered leaf blower that can effectively clean up your driveway and sidewalk. It only weighs 8.6 pounds, which makes it easy to carry around even if you have a larger-than-average yard. It is backed by an impressive seven-year warranty.

The Makita BHX2500CA is one of the most physically stress-free leaf blowers you can find.

The Earthwise ST00115 is a corded string trimmer with a wide 15-inch cutting path and a 5-amp motor. This is more than enough area and power for most lawns. It has a rare safety switch feature which ensures that it only starts when you're ready.

The Greenworks 21212 is an affordable and functional electric string trimmer with a 4-amp motor. This weed eater is fairly basic in terms of its feature package, which is something you might expect from a cheap weed eater, but it manages to do a lot with its features.

The Toro Electric Trimmer and Edger 51480 is not the most powerful electric string trimmer in our lineup, but it has enough for basic yard tasks.

The Black & Decker GH900 electric weed cutter is an economical, lightweight electric string trimmer that cuts through weeds and grass quickly with its 6.5-amp motor.
