I've never owned a blower before. Until now! This thing is cool. I've been blowing **** everywhere. I mainly got it for my egging area because there is a huge red oak and a huge sweet gum right over my eggs. Easy clean up now.image

    Very nice, can't go wrong with a Stihl.  Borrow my dad's on occasion.  Makes gutter cleaning easy.

    If the nozzle fits the intake on your Egg, you could preheat to cook a Margherita in six minutes!    :D

    Nice. I've got husky's comparable. Great stuff. Be sure to only use ethanol free gas, mines going strong now for five years. :-bd

    We just took down an apple tree with my brother's Stihl.  It's a beast.

    Thanks @sgh . @Jeremiah‌ yeah Husky is great to but I couldn't go wrong with the Stihl. It comes with a two year top to bottom warranty and if you buy a six pack of their synthetic two cycle oil they double the warranty to four years. Oil was only $12. Of course I bought the oil.

    We lost probably 50 trees during the April 27th tornadoes of 2011. Both my saws got a hell of a workout.

    Brother you can't go wrong with Stihl, Husqvarna or Johnseered. All make excellent equipment. It's the fly by night ones that you should avoid. You made a good choice there my friend. It will last a life time with a little care and proper maintenance. Enjoy it sir.

    Must resist lowbrow humor....
    Enjoy the new yard tool/toy. I have one that blows on a multi attachment weedeater, edger, brush cutter, mini saw, hedge trimmer and blower. And got another separate stand alone blower similar to yours that blows & sucks (recycled into a bag) but doesn't work like a Stihl or Echo. Thinking of upgrading ourselves. We have a big need for it here. Nice toy man enjoy.

    Man that sucks to lose that many trees. Sounds like our back to back TS's that hit us close to or slightly over a decade ago (boat load of large trees got destroyed). :(

    My dad has his Stihl from before I was born. Beast is right! I really need to move and get some land so I can do manly things like cut down trees, scratch my ass, and blow ****.

    Wait... did that come out right?
