I try not to do it when it's wet, but it still works.

Awsome! Once I get my truck fixed I will probably get that for the fall. Then, during the winter, I will get the STIHL FS 90 with the trimmer end and power broom end!

Could anyone of you recommend a well priced hand help blower that would be strong enough for the fall? it is so quicker than racking for hours:thumbdown:

I once worked with a Shindawa handheld blower for two days straight and it was awsome! Gobs of power also! Alltho, I forgot the model:frown:

The Stihl has higher numbers than the Echo, but I still think you would be happy with either. :thumbsup:

Your blower is 157 mph, that's almost as much as the PB 150t @ 163 not to bad for a hand held, do you or did you get a flat and round tube with that one.

It came with only the flared tube, but you could probably pick which one you wanted at purchase.

The Stihl BG86 I think comes with both and yours and it are the basically the same. I've been thinking about one but can't really justify spending the money at the present or should I say my wife says I can't justify spending the money :rolleyes:

Thanks for the other suggestion. Alltho, the STIHL BG86 seems a little more expensive than the ECHO. I am uncertain wich I will get.

Maybe you can hold both and see which one feels better. :thumbsup:
