Ducktape is lighter, that's what is on my Stihl blower.
True, he bought another one brand new and was out the door on the run. He was on the move. He called me 10 minutes ahead and told me to have it ready because he would be in a hurry, he was. Trade, whats that word mean, haha
Nothing really. In fact it works well in place of the clamp he broke off of it. How he broke off the orginial clamp is beyond me.
Really what your looking at with that blower in that condition is fairly common around here. The landscapers around here compete hard with each other for work. They go daylight to dark and run hard at it. The tools take a helluva beating in this fast pace business around here where you either run or you don't eat. You would have to drive through Leesburg around dark to see what I mean. Those guys are still at it till the sun goes down. Its a tuff life to lead and some of those guys look as worn out as that blower. They pull in good money but man the hours they put in on the run are unreal.
I thought someone got caught in that thing at first glance!!

The old blower has some internal damage that I'm positive the owner isn't going to pay me to fix. It failed the leak down test by over 25%. Its leaking at a rate of around 35%, 10% is the max. A valve job could probly get this old blower running again but in its condition its not worth it. Anyway she'll wind up in the dumpster cept for all the screws, taps and what not I can toss in the tool box for folks that loose a tap or screw now and then. I give them away but now you know how I getem,LOL
