With so many different lawn equipment brands to choose from, you might wonder what sets RedMax apart from the competition. Often, the distinctions for each brand are found in price-point and quality. Other times, different brands offer very similar equipment but bring their own particular specialization to the table and you just have to choose which features are most important to you.
RedMax focuses on commercial outdoor equipment for land care professionals. They offer trimmers, brushcutters, blowers, edgers, hedge trimmers, pole saws, a multi-tool system, and an exclusive 4-in-1 tool called the Reciprocator. As a RedMax dealer, Richardson Saw and Lawnmower either carries or can order all these RedMax products. We also have a full service department to maintenance and repair RedMax equipment.
Engine Technology
One of RedMax’s key selling points is environmentally-friendly products. In 1998, RedMax introduced their Strato-Charged engine technology that resulted in a more efficient, quieter 2-stroke engine with lower emissions.
All RedMax tools use 2-stroke engines. Since 2-stroke engines have fewer moving parts, they are less likely to break than 4-stroke engines in similar equipment. They also require less maintenance. In addition, 2-stroke engines can be used at any angle without trouble, something that can’t be said for all 4-stroke engines and which is important when using equipment such as hedge trimmers.
Reliability Guaranteed
RedMax also makes sure their focus on reducing environmental impact doesn’t negatively affect equipment performance. The Strato-Charged engines are designed for reliability, performance and power as well as reduced emissions and fuel consumption. To guarante this, most RedMax products come standard with a two-year commercial warranty.
Homeowners can extend this warranty by 1 year if they purchase any 6 bottles of RedMax brand 2-stroke oil, or by 2 years if they purchase 3 bottles of the 32oz RedMax brand pre-mix fuel. The oil or fuel purchases must be made at the same time as the new equipment and appear on the same receipt. You also have to register your product online.
Solid-Steel Advantages
All trimmers, brushcutters and edgers from RedMax use a solid-steel drive shaft. The Maxtreme multi-tool system also features solid-steel construction for its five different tool attachments. A solid drive shaft ensures more power from the engine is transferred to the cutting head, which makes your job easier and more efficient.
RedMax offers quite a wide variety of trimmers. There are two residential, two light-duty commercial, four “regular torque” commercial, and five “max torque” models available. They also offer three different brushcutters, four edgers, and the Reciprocator.
Other Products
RedMax is an industry leader in blower performance and reliability. Their handheld blowers are very lightweight and well-balanced for easy handling. The backpack blowers are designed for easy, comfortable use and all feature large 2-stage air filters to extend the engine life. Commercial backpack models also add Free Flow Air Net to reduce air intake blockage.
The RedMax hedge trimmers are powerful pieces of equipment with caged-steel needle bearings for extra stability and case-hardened, high-carbon steel blades to reduce the need for sharpening. They offer two models of single-sided blade hedge trimmers for precision cutting, six double-sided blade models (two of these are extended reach), and one extended-reach trimmer with articulating blade. The pole saw can also be converted into a long- or short-blade hedge trimmer.
