Earlier this year I mentioned that a then new company named Snapper had came out with a new at the time 60V cordless outdoor power equipment line. Now it’s almost the end of the year and Snapper busts out a new Snapper XD 82V cordless outdoor power equipment line that uses larger 82V lithium ion batteries.
The new Snapper XD 82Vline features 5 cordless power tools all of them brushless which include a cordless 21″ mower, 26″ hedge trimmer, 16″ string trimmer, blower, and a 18″ chainsaw. Also just like Snapper’s 60V line, they will also feature the Briggs and Stratton name.
From the start Snapper will offer two 82V batteries, a 2ah and 4ah batteries and both batteries are interchangeable with all Snapper XD 82V power tools. The batteries charge quickly also with a short 30 minute charge time for the 2ah batteries and 60 minutes for the 4ah batteries. The batteries also include a nice 4 bar fuel gauge to easily check remaining battery juice.
A quick look at all the specs from each model shows me that the new Snapper XD 82V equipment lives up to it’s higher voltage as most tools in the range offer better specs than what’s available with current 56-58V equipment although prices are a bit higher. I do appreciate that the mower has a good capacity of 21 inch. It’s capacity is not class leading even for 56-58V tools but I do appreciate it uses a brushless motor since Ego’s mower doesn’t feature a brushless motor and the Snapper mower also features a steel deck, something you don’t see everyday with cordless mowers.
All are nicely spec’d although the 82V string trimmer has good stats, I expected better for an 82V string trimmer as it has a 16″ cutting swath but using basic 0.80″ dual line. I would expect atleast 0.95″ line. But the good thing is that all models will take advantage of the larger size batteries and should theoretically offer better runtime than 56-58V equipment. Many of Snapper’s claims are very good such as a 45 minute runtime on their mower and that’s with only the smaller 2ah battery!
