The Snapper 60V cordless outdoor power equipment line of tools includes a 21-inch mower, string and hedge trimmers, a leaf blower, and a chainsaw. All of these outdoor power tools use the Snapper 60-volt lithium-ion battery platform. Besides the reliable power and less maintenance that the battery system offers, each battery pack has indicator lights that tell you how much charge is remaining. All 5 OPE are marketed as being powered by Briggs & Stratton engines, but that’s because they own the Snapper brand. These brushless motors and batteries are serviced by Greenworks, so don’t expect Briggs & Stratton to start shifting all of their engine lines over to battery power!
Snapper 60V Cordless Outdoor Power Equipment Overview

In either case, the Snapper 60V cordless outdoor power equipment tools cover the basics, and this serves as a great (and welcome) start for the Snapper brand.

Conclusion
These new Snapper 60V cordless outdoor power equipment look promising, but it’s important to note that all support, maintenance, and warranty service is handled through Greenworks (Sunrise Global Marketing). With that being the case, it’s a wonder most users may not opt for using Greenworks branded tools. This seems like it might simplify things and remove some of the potential for confusion in the event of needing service or support. Still, it’s great to see more and more brands tackling cordless—particularly a brand owned by Briggs & Stratton.
