The Stihl stopped running a few times because the bag was full but completed the test and absolutely dominated bagging efficiency. The Makita clogged up but would get right back to it when the bag was emptied. The Kobalt 80V got through the test without stalling but didn’t cut as well as some of the other mowers. The EGO’s dual blades made for better cutting and it filled it’s bag near the end of the test and stopped at that point but picked right back up after the bag was emptied. All in All the 25″ Greenworks, 21″ Greenworks, and Kobalt 80v mowers performed best in this test, no stalling and doing a decent job of knocking down the rough stuff. Some mowers stalled out but started back up or were simply clogged up with leaves and weeds, and once cleared started up again.
Air tools are known for packing more punch than their electric competitors while also being lighter and smaller. Air tools can push more torque and RPM to finish jobs faster, and the AIRCAT 1150 impact wrench is no exception with its 1,295 pound-feet of loosening torque and 900 pound-foot max torque. It’s reportedly the hardest hitting twin-hammer 1/2-inch impact wrench on the market at 1,400 blows per minute.

You may find aftermarket batteries from other companies that suffice. These options are typically less expensive and may even be more powerful; however, they lack the assurances that DeWalt offers. Double-check to confirm not only the voltage matches, but the size and shape fits as well. It’s advised to have a backup battery fully charged at all times when using a DeWalt tool.
We took the mowers to a field that had 18” tall grass and weeds to see which mowers could handle this condition. We recognize that this is the WRONG application for this type of equipment, and did not use the results in the final rankings. All of the mowers we tested include a single lever deck height adjustment feature.
