Introduction
As the days get longer and the garden chores pile up, the "hum" of spring activity returns to the neighbourhood. But does it have to be a roar?
More Kiwis are trading their petrol cans for battery chargers, and October is the perfect time to make the switch. Whether you have a small urban courtyard or a sprawling lifestyle block, STIHL’s battery technology has matured to the point where it matches—and often exceeds—petrol performance for many tasks.
Instant Starts, Every Time
We’ve all been there: pulling a starter cord repeatedly on a cold morning, tweaking the choke, and hoping for a spark.
With battery tools, you simply click the battery in and pull the trigger. It’s that simple. This convenience encourages you to do quick jobs—like trimming the edges before work or blowing leaves off the driveway—without the hassle of engine prep.
Neighbourhood Friendly
Noise is a big factor in urban Tauranga. STIHL battery tools are whisper-quiet compared to their petrol counterparts. You can mow the lawns on a Sunday morning or trim the hedges in the evening without disturbing the peace (or your neighbours).
Power Without Compromise
Gone are the days when "battery" meant "weak". The AP System for professionals and large properties delivers massive torque and runtimes that rival petrol engines. For smaller homes, the AK System offers plenty of punch for mowing, trimming, and sawing on a single charge.
Zero Emissions, Less Maintenance. No exhaust fumes means you breathe easier while you work. Plus, say goodbye to: Mixing fuel and oil, Replacing spark plugs and Cleaning carburetors.
Maintenance is essentially keeping the tool clean and sharpening the blades/chains.
If you are still on the fence, come visit us at STIHL SHOP Tauranga. Test drive a blower or line trimmer in our designated area. Feeling the lightness and hearing the silence is usually all it takes to convince you.
Make this October the month you ditch the ear muffs and enjoy the sounds of nature while you work.
