Visit any big box home store and it appears, this summer, power saving power tools are all the rage. Replacing their gas powered counterparts, these battery or propane operated lawn maintenance tools run on alternative energy sources that both lower emissions and boast less maintenance.
Currently Husqvarna is testing a high-powered, battery push mower; and Arien plans to introduce a battery-powered snowblower this winter. However the general consensus in the industry is one of caution. No one is quick to unveil a product that may not have the power to do the job. "It's one of those things where we want to be careful," says Roger Phelps, Stihl's promotional communications manager. "One thing customers are demanding is for performance to still be there. It's cool to have a battery-operated mower, but if it only gets halfway across the yard, that's not very cool."Delta power tools offers selection in all your shop needs with a large variety of saws, lathes, drills and even dust management systems. All equipment is engineered to work long hours of production between scheduled maintenance servicing. Keeping to the scheduled maintenance servicing will give your Delta power tools a long life span. Delta power tools are available from most industrial supply stores and from online vendors as well. If what you need is a machine that will keep working longer in a day than you are willing, then Delta power tools has one just for your needs.The drilling machines available from Delta power tools include drill presses, boring machines, mortisers and ram type radial drill presses. A large selection of drill presses are available to fill your drill press needs. Variable speed drills and set speed drills are available. Motors range from � horsepower to a heavy duty 1 � horsepower. All tables are adjustable for height and angle to better hold your stock. All of the other drilling machines are specialty items that are dedicated to on use only. Boring machines for drilling horizontal holes in stock, mortisers for making rectangular mortise holes and the ram type radial drill presses for drilling into your stock from any angle. These specialty tools are built to be workhorses for the shop that needs this style of machine.It is hard to think that anyone would need tools that are so large, but think of powered garden tools � lawn mowers, blowers, trimmers, chainsaws, brush-cutters, garden drills, log splitters and earth diggers � to name but a few. Most of these items are what makes up the basic gardening equipment set to maintain any private green outdoor space. And nearly all these items are tricky to transport as they may be too heavy to be carried by an individual, too bulky to store in a car or too dangerous to be handled, unpacked or assembled without the help of a professional.On the downside of shopping this way, the customer doesn't walk away with their purchases as soon as they pay. Depending on location, time of day of the transaction, what was purchased and payment method used, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks � and sometimes months. But getting a package in the mail or delivered door to door can be very exciting for some. It would be like getting a surprise and then opening the package to find that it was exactly the right thing to have!Even heavy duty, gas tool manufacturers are jumping on the "alternative energy" bandwagon. Husqvarna has just unveiled a soil cultivator for $899 that runs off one large lead-acid battery. They have also introduced an "EcoSmart" campaign featuring similar products including their manual push mower and solar-battery robot "Automower".Everyone has cordless power tools, but the most efficient are the ones that share a single 18V battery. This means you can use the same battery for all your lawn tools.Some of this year's highlights include:Delta power tools makes many of the finest table saws manufactured for professional use. Their models range from open base contractor's saws to an enclosed base arbor saw for the hardest of woods. Most models come with either a left or a right tilting blade, capable of cutting at a 45-degree angle. The motors for these models can be 3 horsepower to 7 � horsepower of the heavy-duty arbor saw. Some are 100 voltage and others are 220 voltage. Whatever your needs and requirements for your table saw can be filled at Delta power tools.The government is supporting this new, cleaner technology and incentives are being reviewed that would give consumers a 25% tax credit (up to $1000) toward their purchase of eco friendly lawn, garden or forestry power tools. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency issued new rules that require manufacturers to reduce emissions from new lawn and garden equipment by 35% in the next few years. If these companies want to remain in business, they have to start examining new, alternative forms of energy.Let us take a look at power tools: every kind imaginable, every size produced, every design option available can be procured via the world wide web. Their prices, along with delivery costs, are comparable to those of retail stores � sometimes even cheaper � all without having to leave the comfort of home or taking up precious lunch-break time at work. Who would not want to shop this way, knowing that the extra money normally spent on transportation to and from the retail outlets, can be spent on more products or kept in the consumer's pocket? All the buyer has to do at the end is accept the delivery without having to lug their purchases all the way back.When ordering power tools online, most of these virtual companies will provide the full service for their customers. So all there is to do is to pick an item or items, settle the bill, provide the required delivery information, then sit back and wait for the merchandise to turn up at the door. Quick, simple, hassle free. Shopping for tools has never been so stress free and easy!Delta power tools offer a variety of sanders and grinders to fill your needs.

Delta power tools even offers combination disc and belt sanders for those shops that need both but have limited space. The grinders offered by Delta power tools range from dedicated sharpeners to heavy duty variable speed bench grinders with quick change wheels to fill all your grinding needs.
