Why outdoor power equipment makes a great Christmas gift

• These tools are practical and durable — unlike trendy gadgets, a quality blower, chainsaw or snow-blower can be useful for years. Brands like STIHL, Husqvarna, Echo, TORO and EGO have decades of reputation for reliability and power.
• For people with yards, gardens, woodland, or snow-heavy winters (like in Alberta!), they can save time and physical effort and make seasonal chores into manageable tasks instead of back-breaking work.
• Getting a “serious tool” for Christmas sends a message: “I believe you deserve the best — and I expect you to use it.” It’s a gift that works hard.

Gift ideas from STIHL, Husqvarna, Echo, TORO and EGO Power+

🍂 Chainsaws

• EGO POWER+ 20” /18”/16” Chainsaw Kits — Powerful battery-powered saws that rivals gas engines, with a brushless motor. Great for firewood, storm cleanup, and heavy-duty cutting without fumes or noise.
• Stihl MS162 Gas Chainsaw — A classic gas-powered option for someone who prefers traditional tools — simple, dependable, and versatile for light to medium-duty chainsaw tasks. In-store deal with this saw – a FREE WoodPro Kit (Chainsaw case, extra chain and a STIHL hat!). While quantities last!
• Husqvarna 455 Rancher Gas Chainsaw — the gold standard in workhorse chainsaws: ideal for rural properties, woodlots, and other tree management. Right now there is an in-store special with us!

🍂 Blowers & Yard Clean-Up Tools

• EGO POWER+ 765 CFM Blower — A powerful cordless blower with up to 80 minutes runtime, adjustable air speed, and “turbo” mode — great for clearing leaves, grass clippings, light snow or debris without dealing with cords or gas.
• Husqvarna 150BT Gas Leaf Blower — A gas-powered blower with strong airflow, ideal for large properties or heavy leaf loads; good for those who prefer traditional power and don’t mind maintenance.
• ECHO eFORCE 56V DPB-2500/STIHL BGA57s/TORO 60v Cordless Blowers — A lighter, more ergonomic cordless option — great for decks, driveways, sidewalks — a nice “starter” blower for regular yard upkeep and light snow.

🎁 Stocking Stuffers (for light users or small yards)

• STIHL GTA26/GTA 40 — The GTA 26 is our first battery-powered pruning saw. It is the ideal tool for small pruning tasks, cutting up yard waste and handy for small DIY jobs. STIHL GTA 40 is a lightweight, powerful, and IPX4-rated pruner designed for aerial and ground tree work, and for those heavier pruning jobs at home.

Picking the Right Gift — Match Tool to Person

Why These Brands Stand Out

• STIHL — A long heritage dating back to 1926. STIHL is widely recognized as a global leader in handheld forestry and landscaping equipment.
• Husqvarna — Well-known for powerful gas tools, with a reputation for handling larger jobs like tree cutting and heavy yard work reliably.
• Echo — Offers a balance between affordability and performance. Good for those who want dependable tools without premium pricing. Many users choose Echo for mid-level tasks.
• EGO Power+ — Great battery-based ecosystem with a range of tools: cordless chainsaws, blowers, trimmers, lifestyle, etc. Good balance of power and convenience, especially for people who want to avoid gas and maintenance. “Once you have tools in the ecosystem … it’s hard to see the benefit of changing.”

Final Thoughts

When you give outdoor power equipment for Christmas — especially from a trusted brand like STIHL, Husqvarna, Echo, TORO or EGO — you’re giving more than a gift. You’re giving capability, convenience, and long-term value. Whether the recipient maintains a small yard or a larger property, there’s a tool for them.
