Leaf blower is still a gas Stihl - because NC and the forest leaves we now have to deal with, but Skymama wants a handheld battery one for her. I'll pick up another Ego battery powered for her.

The EGO Leaf blowers are pretty good, the Stihl just sits now. The weed whackers are too good to be true. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brenthutch 383 #129 April 21, 2023 What ever happened to those sky high gas prices? Did the big evil oil companies have a big bowl of Stupid Soup for lunch and forget how to control prices, or does the market have something to do with it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m glad that you agree with me that gas prices are driven by market forces and not some cabal of cigar chomping oil executives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Median income in Russia $5500. Median income in USA ... $19,300. So gas is effectively more than twice as expensive in Russia. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been waiting for years for someone to release a battery handheld blower and mulcher to replace my Stihl. Everyone is replacing their blowers, but no one seems to want to replace the mulcher side of it. I don't understand why. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
