Lets share pics of blowers

It's just great

I agree with you Back Pack blowers are the way to go.

BR 200

BR 550

BR 380

For commercial use...I agree, but for homeowners it's a toss-up. For me the fact that the Stihl backpack blowers are not conducive to utilizing a gutter kit was a show-stopper. Not a problem for the Stihl hand-helds. That is a much-desired feature for me when it comes to a gas blower. I know, some have "built their own" gutter kit using PCV pipe, but to me Stihl was kinda short-sighted by designing the tubes on their backpack models where you couldn't use a Stihl "approved" gutter kit. Anyone agree with that????
P.S.
I really liked the 12lb Stihl BR-200 backpack blower but ended up with a 8.8lb Echo hand-held(that has an Echo gutter kit available:0)

I'm pretty happy with my Echo PB-250LN(especially for $74.75), but noticed the upgraded rubber coated handle on your 255. I'm considering some type of rubber/foam that I can wrap my handle with to add that additional vibration control.
P.S.
That guy that posted the picture of the 1994 Echo hand-held he still uses every day gave me a "warm & fuzzy" about my purchase decision:0)

Yep, one day your Echo blower could be like user Giblet's! :smile: I like the handle on mine, as it is supposed to vibrate your hand less, but it also provides grip. One user just used tape like this:

Hmmmmm, that'll work, thanks for that tidbit & pic!!! There are tapes available that will provide pretty good grip and vibration protection(of course, here in the South we are infamous for using "Duck Tape" for EVERYTHING:0)
We always say....if you can't fix it with Duck Tape, it can't be fixed!!!

Ya the world needs more mowers, blowers, rednecks and duck tape
