Who has one? My wife and I just picked up one yesterday (5 in stock) from Ace Hardware. Stihl BR-200 <-- click on the link  This little thing is powerful for its lightweight size! Incredible, and from what we understand, it's constantly "out of stock"... Home Depot Pleasant's Hardware Northern Tool etc.. etc... See, we also have a real POS battery powered hand-held thing from Walmart called Hyper-tech or Hyper-Tough or something like that... Seriously, man, it DIES within 10 minutes max, and you have to swap in another battery!  Anyone have one of these by Stihl?  |

Stihl BR600.....only because at the time(20 years ago) they didn't have anything bigger. (had a similar BR500? for 15 Stihl years before) i get millions of fir needles, fir cones, leaf's of all sorts, cedar bits, etc. I blow for .5-1.5 hours almost daily for the next 2-3 months. its needed nothing, I feed it non ethanol. |
| Have an old Homelite 20cc that always outperforms my battery powered Greenworks and Milwaukee leaf blowers for power and duration. However the electric blowers are great for drying cars and motorcycles so long as there are two charged batteries. Also great for blowing up air beds. |

I have two OLD Stihl BR400s. One might have an aftermarket carb, but both haven't given me any issues. I would like a BR800 or whatever the largest one is. My 1.5 year old Dewalt 20v handheld blower has died. It was great for small tasks. Not sure if I'll replace it. I need it for decades of use, not months. |
