DR Power introduces lithium-ion battery-powered hand tools DR Power Equipment recently introduced a lineup of lithium-ion battery-powered yard tools, providing homeowners with a single-battery solution for their lawn and garden care needs. The new DR Yard Tools lineup includes blowers, hedge trimmers, chainsaw pruners, string trimmers, and pole saws. Craig Wolosinki, product manager, DR Power Equipment, said the company chose to use lithium-ion batteries instead of conventional NiCad (nickel cadmium) batteries to create the most innovative, highest-quality product possible. "Lithium- ion batteries last three times longer and are up to 40-percent lighter than NiCad," Wolosinki said. "They charge faster, are more powerful, and let you work full strength all the way to the end of the battery cycle." Unlike other battery-powered tools that require a separate battery for each tool, the DR Yard Tools feature a universal lithium-ion battery that can be shared with any DR tool. All tools are available for purchase with or without the battery and charger, so the customer can purchase additional tools as needed without the additional expense of each battery.
