Default battery powered garden tools?

I am looking for battery powered yard and garden tools. I would like one battery for all tools. I was thinking small tiller, weed whacker, and perhaps a small chain saw.

Does anyone have information if this is even available on today's market?

Thanks

I have a HusQvarna weed wacker and chainsaw that use the same batteries. Pretty slick.

I have the Ryobi chain saw, weed wacker, hedge trimmer, blower and all of them are great. The 40v top end model and they are pretty darn great.

The chain saw is great for pruning and stuff like that although I think it seem powerful enough to take down a tree (although I have a couple higher powered gas saws) so never tried it for that. But for spring/fall pruning and cutting landscape ties, branches from a half inch up to the size of your arm (and bigger) - it's easy to pickup and use with zero maintenance and no gas/oil mixing and/or winterizing and messing around. I don't even fill up or mix for the gas saws anymore.

Trimmer is powerful and holds plenty of battery charge to do a very big lot and lots of trimming. It will slice through even tree suckers without any issues. The double strings are self feeding and pretty strong like a commercial trimmer.

Hedge trimmer is great - works without any issues and does a nice job.Blades are self sharpening and are maintenance free which is nice.

The blower is great for dry leaves, clearing grass clippings off walks, clearing decks and stuff like that. For light dry snow it's fine. Heavier snow or wet snow - not so much. But I keep it by the front door all winter and a quick "walk and blow" clears the steps, walk and the driveway in a few minutes without breaking a sweat. That works for 90% of the snow we get here anyways.
