    Hand Held Leaf Blower Suggestions

    Looking about 2/3s the way through the video link I posted on the previous page, there was a vibration test. The ECHO has significantly more than the Stihl and the Husqvarna. For me, the price difference is not important but vibrations are. The ECHO that I have now is from 2005 so spreading out...

    Hand Held Leaf Blower Suggestions

    I would expect interactions between dealer and the factory to be on a wholesale level not retail but it's still money. When I consulted designing buildings I had to provide fixed rate pricing. On occasions when a bad contractor got hired by the owner and the construction got stretched out all of...

    Hand Held Leaf Blower Suggestions

    Thanks for that. It's on the list. The three brands I have found with antivibration in their design (top of their product list) are Echo, Stihl And Husqvarna but in a test I saw the Husqvarna and Stihl systems were much more effective. As I mentioned I have had issues with Husqvarna in the...

    I noticed that the Stihl BG86 has a vibration suspension system. I am just a bit leary now that Stihl is in hardware stores. Anyone have one?

    Hand Held Leaf Blower Suggestions

    Does it torque your hand around? Our PB-203LN (18 years old) tries to steer the user around (besides the excess vibration) making it not a favorite tool.

    Hand Held Leaf Blower Suggestions

    The grass area is not hugh but big enough. Unfortunately my Milwaukee tools are M12 to save weight so I don't think I'd jump to M18. I considered EGO because I have their trimmer but the blowers don't run long enough on a charge at full tilt. On the Echo noted, I mentioned that backpacks were...

    Thanks for that. I had a Husqvarna chainsaw that often wore me out before it would start. Drove me crazy. Manufacturer recalled and sent out new carbs. Same deal. So how do those blowers start? How long have they been in service if I may ask?

    Hand Held Leaf Blower Suggestions

    Looking for suggestions on handheld blowers for fall leaves in the yard. We are at the age that i had to sell the backpack due to it's weight and hauling the GiantVac our is only attractive for the worst cases. We have a 15 year old ECHO (22cc) that has served well but it's in need of a carb...

    Wood Pile Cover Material?

    Thanks for all the replies. A few of the lightweight structures are interesting but snow and wind around here would not be friendly on anything not robust. If I had thought 40 years ago when we built the house that this would be a thing I would have built a permanent shed.

    Wood Pile Cover Material?

    I looked at those and the same company was selling 15 mil vinyl tarps with edge grommets for a decent price. They had a special running and I found a discount code so the 10x36 ended up reasonable at $82 ($40 off) plush shipping. That thing is heavy compared to typical poly tarps.

    Wood Pile Cover Material?

    New rubber roofing is rediculously expensive, even in the secondary (leftovers) market.

    That's definitely an argument for a wood shed project. We don't get that around here anymore but there is still hope.

    Wood Pile Cover Material?

    Thanks for that, but it's far too expensive new. Only used listing I've found are in PA and too far away and too heavy to ship.

    Wood Pile Cover Material?

    I've been using ploy tarps to cover the woodpile but they seem to get thin and eventually develop tears in a couple years at best. This Summer has been the rain and it's not looking like changing will Fall coming. Looking for suggestions for suggestions short of building a shed. I've seen sites...
