Abstract
A garden power tool system comprises a lawn mower powered by a battery mounted on the mower and a plurality of electrically powered gardening implements such as a hedge trimmer and a string trimmer. The battery provides the electrical power for the garden implements when they are connected to the mower. The mower can be mounted on castor wheels. Ideally, the garden implements are releasably attachable via a connecting mechanism and an electric cable to the mower. The connecting mechanism provides electrical connection between the battery and the garden implements when attached and is sufficiently robust to enable the mower to be dragged around by the garden implement when connected.
