Tips
• Great electric versions for almost any power tool you can think of are readily available. Have fun checking out the options and amazing technology that is putting the old polluting internal combustion engine into the past.
• Check used options online to see what is available in your area. You can often get high-quality tools that do the job well at a much lower cost. Plus, it limits the resources and pollution that go into creating new stuff.
• If you have newer gas-powered tools, it is probably better to wait to replace them, especially if you plan to buy new electric ones. If you are replacing tools and your old ones still have life in them, be sure to either sell or gift them, so they do not go to waste.
