With warmer weather around the corner, it’s time to ensure your yard care kit is up to task.

Of course, you’ll save on gas this way, but also enjoy a lower noise production as well. Right now Amazon has the Greenworks 40V 8-inch cordless electric pole saw on sale for $140 from its normal going rate of nearly $180. We also have a wide selection of Tesla, Greenworks, and other e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.
