Do you ever wonder if getting a multi-task yard tool would be a good choice for your home or business?
Some of the most well-known, reliable brands on the market are making multi-tool systems. Here at Richardson Saw, we carry multi-tools from both Stihl and Echo. With a multi-tool system like these, you buy a single engine head and then switch-out which attachment you’re using.
These multi-task yard tools give you a tool that can change from string-line trimmer, to hedge trimmer, to blower (and more) in minutes. This makes the system very versatile, as well as easy to store and transport. Keep reading to learn more about all the things you can do with a multi-tool.
Save Money with Multi-Task Tools
If you want several different kinds of yard tools, buying a multi-tool can save you quite a bit of money. Attachments for your multi-tool are much less expensive than buying a whole new tool every time you want new equipment for your yard.
You’ll really only notice these savings if you want to use three or more multi-tool attachments. You won’t save much money if you’re only using one or two attachments. For example, if all you need is a trimmer and blower you won’t save much money by choosing a multi-tool over buying two separate tools (though a multi-tool would save storage space).
If you’re wanting to use three or more attachments, then a multi-tool is definitely going to save you money. The attachments usually cost about half the price of buying a new tool. And since you only have to maintain one engine, you can also save on maintenance costs.
Store More Tools Easily
Using multi-tools also means you can save on storage space. If space is tight, this is one reason you might want a multi-tool even if you’re only going to use two attachments for it. You might not save money, but it will take up less space than two separate tools.
The space-saving benefits only become more apparent the more tools you need. Instead of storing five full-size tools, for example, you only need to find space for one engine and five attachments. This can make a huge difference in how much storage space you have available.
Work On Multiple Properties
The space-saving benefits of multi-tools make them easy to transport if you maintain more than one property. They are also a great choice for one-person landscaping projects when you don’t want to haul a whole bunch of different tools around. If you use them for commercial landscaping projects, multi-tools are a good way to save space on the tool trailer.
Even if you prefer working with dedicated tools, you might like to keep multi-tools around as a back-up since they don’t take up as much room as dedicated tools. If one of your other tools stops working in the middle of a project, then you can just pop the needed attachment on your multi-tool and get right back to work.
Work Quickly
Richardson Saw & Lawnmower sells multi-tool systems from two leading brands: Echo’s Pro Attachment Series and Stihl’s Yard Boss and KombiSystem. Both of these systems are designed for reliable performance and ease of use.
Since one of the big advantages of a multi-task yard tool is that it can convert between different tools, you’ll want to be able to do that quickly. Both Echo and Stihl make it easy to quickly switch between attachments without using any extra tools to make the switch.
Trim, Cut, and Edge
Each multi-task tool system offers a wide variety of attachments to fit all your trimming, cutting, and edging needs. Both the Echo PAS and Stihl KombiSystem offer:
- Curved and straight-shaft edgers
- Bed redefiner
- Pole pruner
- Brushcutter
- Hedge trimmers
- Curved and straight-shaft string-line trimmers
You can also get shaft extenders if you need the tools to reach farther. Whether you’re maintaining lawns, landscape beds, or both these multi-tools can provide the attachments you need.
Clean Up The Yard
The multi-tool systems also give you clean-up options to help maintain lawns, pathways, patios, and more. These include:
- Blowers
- Bristle-brush sweepers
- Rubber paddle sweepers
These tools make clean up easy around the yard. With the blower, you’ll be able to move fallen leaves and dirt quickly. The sweeper attachments make cleanup in places like paths, patios, and decks fast and easy.
Work In The Garden
The Echo PAS and Stihl KombiSystem both offer a cultivator that works very well for light tilling in the garden. If you want a more powerful garden tool, though, you’ll need the Stihl YardBoss.
The YardBoss multi-tool system offers two types of cultivator tines for the garden. It also lets you get dethatcher and aerator attachments for use on the lawn. To make the system even more versatile, you can also get edger, trimmer, brush, and sweeper attachments.
