I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing riding lawn mowers this year and not much time showing you some other great time saving tools for outdoors. This article is a summary of the 19.2 volt C3 Craftsman cordless tools that can save you a lot of time.
The Craftsman 19.2 volt C3 is a growing line of cordless tools designed specifically for the homeowner. These tools are rugged and quality made, but they don’t carry the huge price tag of the contractor grade cordless tools. They will last you and me a long time.
One of the features I really like about these tools is they all use the same NiCad or Lithium-ion battery. One battery powers over 30 different tools. One charger sitting on your shelf or hanging on your wall is all you need.
You most likely have not seen these tools at your local Sears. Only about 125 stores have them in stock. The rest of us have to order them through Sears.com. Yes, You can get these cordless tools. Order them online and pick them up at your nearest stores or have them shipped to your home.
I picked seven of these tools that can really help outside your home.

C3 Chainsaw
This chainsaw has a 10 inch bar with manual push-button oiler and safety chain brake. The saw will cut for about 30 minutes with the DieHard NiCad battery and close to an hour with the high capacity Li-ion.
C3 Hedge Trimmer
The Craftsman C3 Hedge Trimmer features 22-inch, dual-action blades and a full, 9/16 inch-cut capacity. This size of trimmer provides the power, length and clean cutting capability needed by most homeowners. The Hedge Trimmer comes with an ergonomic handle and trigger grip as well as a contoured front handle and front handle guard. It also has a trigger lock and battery charge indicator. When used with a 19.2-volt DieHard Ni-Cd battery, the hedge trimmer has approximately 30 minutes of run time, and if used with a 19.2-volt DieHard Lithium-Ion battery, run time can increase up to 20 percent.
It does come with one 19.2 battery and universal charger.
C3 Leaf Blower
I like this blower. It’s small, easy to use and yet strong enough to clean your driveway and sidewalks.
It has a high velocity end nozzle to increase speed and produces air output up to 140 MPH
It comes with one Diehard NiCad battery and charger.
C3 Chemical Sprayer
Brass wand and nozzle for spray or stream
C3 add-on tools require C3 battery and chargers sold separately

I have put at least 15 gallons of weed, bug and total kill mixes through this sprayer already this year and I really like the convenience of a cordless sprayer.

C3 Recip Saw
Why a recip saw? Put a good wood blade or pruning blade in this saw and you have a great pruning saw. The variable speed allows you to start your cut easily and it is powerfull enough to cut through anything you have to cut outdoors. I used a recip saw to cut down a 10 inch pine tree a few years ago. With the right blade it works just fine.
Think about it…this may be the only outdoor saw you need.
One-hand Ergo Grip
Tool-free blade changes
Smooth 0-3500 spm
