"Gorilla-Lift 2-Sided Tailgate Lift Assist"

5 Star Rating

"This is truly the best product that i have ever used. You can lift the tail-gate on my trailer with one hand or even use your foot to bring it up to you. You talking about a back saver, this is the product. I just wished i would of bought one earlier. Anybody that is in the landscaping business should have one of these. I have a 16ft. trailer and this is the life saver product to me. Very easy to install."

"Great Vac, Especially For The Price"

5 Star Rating

"Purchased as an entry-level vacuum for our landscape business. Have been thoroughly impressed with the unit. Great purchase compared to more expensive brands. We don't use it every day during leaf season, but believe it would hold up to regular use."

"Awesome product. It was an easy setup, works as described. This is my first sprayer I’ve bought after reading reviews and comparing to Lesco I chose the NorthStar. It was at the right price point for my business and the quality is up to par with Lesco."

"Great Saw For Quick Cuts"

5 Star Rating

"Great saw. Plenty of power and easy to start and use. Use for my landscaping company and is great for not having to start up one of our gas saws to make a few cuts on down limbs or taking down some smaller trees. Better deal than Home Depot or anywhere else here including the battery"
