Cultivating Power
Whether you visit it a few times a week or every day, your allotment plot requires a certain amount of care and attention, but in return it can provide an oasis of calm in an otherwise busy modern landscape – not a bad trade off!
However, these two scenarios can sometimes be at odds, as a tranquil pastime is spoiled by your garden tools’ combustion engines. The roar
of the engine while you’re tending
the rhubarb? The smell of pollution
in amongst the parsnips? The risk of petrol explosions in your potting shed? No thank you.
Tough tasks needn’t require petrol, with the petrol-matching power of EGO’s range of outdoor battery- powered tools.
For those not familiar with the brand, EGO, a business built on innovation, is part of an international manufacturing business established in 1993. Since then they’ve pushed the boundaries of cordless technology from the very first days. Today they are one of the world’s biggest tool manufacturers, producing over 10 million each year, selling in 65 countries worldwide.
Part of the EGO range, which stretches from mowers and chainsaws to
hedge trimmers and brush cutters,
is the award-winning Ego Power+ Multi-Tool – with a range of high-
tech attachments, it lets you breeze through a variety of jobs.
New for 2019 and bringing the very latest in battery technology to home growers and allotment users, the EGO Power+ Multi-Tool is now as much
at home in the potting shed as the garden shed with its new Cultivator attachment (model number: CTA9500).
EGO’s 56-volt lithium-ion battery, the industry’s most technically advanced, means using a tool with no petrol fumes, no cord to trip over or cut through and having petrol-matching power Faster recharge times, using EGO’s Rapid Charger, also means less waiting, more cultivating, more growing.
With up to a 70-minute use on EGO’s 5Ah battery, the Multi-Tool Cultivator is a great versatile tool. This new attachment normally retails at £149 (Power Head, Battery and Charger sold separately*).
Beyond the season for cultivating the multi-tool continues to work hard, with users able to choose from five other interchangeable tools: line trimmer, brush cutter, hedge trimmer, edging tool and most relevant for plot holders with fruit trees, the pole saw.
The 10" pole saw attachment (model number: PSA1000) enables the user to prune branches without the use of a ladder. Ideal for use in fruit trees and features a 3/8” chain with a simple chain tensioner and clear oil reservoir.
As with all EGO products, the EGO Power+ Multi-Tool uses EGO’s 56-volt Arc Lithium battery, engineered to match or surpass the performance of petrol-powered outdoor power tools, while being interchangeable with all the tools in EGO’s range.
