Every spring, millions of homeowners face the same exhausting ritual: wrestling with stubborn soil, tangled extension cords, or finicky gas engines. Traditional solutions either leave you tethered to outlets or breathing fumes – until now. The Kobalt 80V MAX Lithium-Ion Cordless Cultivator shatters these compromises with professional-grade power that moves at your pace, not your outlet’s location.
Why Cordless Cultivation Matters Now
Modern homeowners demand cordless garden tools that match their mobile lifestyles. The Kobalt 80V cultivator answers with three breakthrough advantages:
1. Untethered Power
Unlike corded models limited by extension cords or gas units requiring fuel mixing, this 80V lithium-ion cultivator delivers full power anywhere. The included rapid charger refuels the battery in just 30 minutes.
2. Maintenance-Free Operation
The brushless motor technology eliminates carbon brushes that wear out in traditional motors. No spark plugs, no oil changes – just consistent 1,700 strikes per minute performance.
3. Professional-Grade Results
With 10-inch tilling width and 5-inch depth, this electric garden cultivator prepares seedbeds faster than most gas models, yet weighs 30% less for easier handling.
