Echo Pb500-T

I just bought one of these said to be a year old off CL for 100$ hope it works out . Def not as powerful as I would have hoped. I bought it because my bg55 stihl handheld was down and in the shop and this doesn't really seem to be any more powerful

...and this doesn't really seem to be any more powerful

It probably wont feel anymore powerful than the BG 55, there is only 23mph difference between it and the 500T.

The Stihl BG 55 is 140mph, The PB 150T is 163mph that's 23mph difference at the tube end. The maximum air speed achieved would be at the pipe without the tube. Maximum performance as they say on there site 195mph at 465 cfm @ the pipe or housing without the tube. All blowers are tested the same. My BR 550 is 530cfm @ the tube, without the tube which is maximum performance it's 870CFM @ the pipe or without the tube.

I used it a little more yesterday it is slightly more powerful just I'm not convinced its worth double and more the cost of my bg55 but I do like how easy it is to work on it . Same goes with my echo trimmer.

There's not a whole lot of difference to find, your BG55 is 418 cfm the PB150t is 465 cfm that's not much of a noticeable difference.

This is true to notice or you need to have 200-300 more cfm then what you have now to notice a lot more power
