Caring for the Earth With GreenWorks

Now that we are deeply embedded into Spring heading quickly towards Summer my mind is on yard work of all sorts. Mowing, weeding, shaping up branches and bushes, all of these things need to be done.

If you’re concerned about emissions and your carbon footprint consider GreenWorks to get your yard work done. Greenworks has many different products to choose from – electric mowers, battery powered chainsaws, electric leaf blowers, and more.

 

The best thing about all of the products that GreenWorks makes is their products have a ZERO carbon footprint. The entire product line will never release an ounce of carbon emission into the air! Isn’t that amazing when we are talking about machines that usually put noxious gas fumes into the air? Here’s a fun fact that GreenWorks provided – Did you know that Fifty-four million Americans mow their lawns every weekend (according to the EPA), using 800 million gallons of gas each year. Also, homeowners spill more than 17 million gallons of gas while refueling. Mowing your yard can feel like following an old clunker of a car down the highway – you inhale gas fumes the entire way. Since GreenWorks products are powered by batteries and electricity you are helping the Earth by using these zero emissions products in place of the gas guzzlers.

Did you know that GreenWorks was a Pro Tool Innovation Award winner in 2014? A panel of judges representing tool professionals from across the United States weighed in on entries from top global manufacturers, and GreenWorks was selected as a recipient of this honor.

If you’re worried that such a new and innovative company might not make products as sturdy as some of the older “Grandpas” in the industry, remember that GreenWorks backs every tool with a full four-year warranty, and the lithium-ion batteries are backed with a 2 year warranty. GreenWorks has high quality products that are manufactured to last. That’s why they back every product with a warranty that’s twice the industry standard.

I think that the most interesting product that GreenWorks makes is their
20-Inch 12 Amp Electric Discharge Lawn Mower. Not only is it electric, it’s also a really cool green color! Worried about grass stains? Not on this mower you’re not! Here are the stats on this mower:

  • 12 Amp Electric Motor delivers enough power to cut through the toughest grass
  • Durable steel 20-Inch cutting deck gets the job done quicker and more efficiently
  • 3-in-1 feature provides multiple options for grass clippings from rear bagging, side discharge and mulching capabilities for versatile needs
  • 7 position height adjustment offers a range of cutting height from 1 1/2-Inch to 3 3/4-Inch for the perfect cut on all grass types
  • Wide 10-Inch rear wheels and 7-Inch front wheels

The Original Pink Box Makes Repairs Fun!

I have always been extremely crafty, I like to sew and scrapbook. You might be surprised, but when you think about it, crafting and being handy around the house go hand-in-hand.

I love to be able to fix small repairs, when we moved into our brand new house a couple of months ago there were handy things that needed to be done. We had to purchase and hang our own bathroom mirrors, put up blinds and curtains, and install door stoppers. Luckily for me, I had already ordered my The Original Pink Box 30-piece tool kit from DealDash. It had absolutely everything that I needed to get started doing minor home repairs, including a tape measure, hammer, pliers, screw driver tips, and more.

 

 

Here is a full list of what is included:

  •  12″ bag with 24 inside and outside pockets
  • 12-ounce hammer
  •  16′ self locking tape measure
  •     6″ needle nose pliers
  •     6″ slip joint pliers
  •   8 piece hex key wrench set in holder (SAE: 1/16″, 5/64″, 3/32″, 1/8″, 5/32″, 3/16″, 7/32″, 1/4″)
  •  Bit driver
  • 19 piece 1” bits set
  •  1″ extension bar
  • 4pc Precision Screwdrivers (Phillips #0, Phillips #1, Slotted 2.4mm, Slotted 3.0mm)

The Original Pink box also makes many other products including a Cordless 10-volt lithium ion reciprocating saw, 18-volt lithium ion cordless circular saw, 18-Volt Lithium Ion replacement battery, paint brush and putty knife sets, and more! The Original Pink Box also carries a full line of tool chests and other great storage items.

 

The Original Pink Box tools are so cute, yet they are just as rugged and finely made as some of the more “masculine” tool sets. I love that there are tools made that fit my personal aesthetic without compromising quality. These The Original Pink Box tools even get my little daughter excited about learning how to use tools, she loves to help, and the fact that these tools are her (and my!) favorite color makes them all the more fun to use!

The Original Pink Box company is based in California, and tries to keep jobs in the USA by manufacturing most of their tool components here. They have even recently bought new machinery so they are able to produce more of their parts right here in the USA.

If you’re interested in owning some of The Original Pink Box tools – which by the way is the only full tool line with all pink tools, DealDash has you covered. Head on over to DealDash and see all of the awesome tool auctions that are coming up soon.
