Billybop replied to Peter sellers's discussion Makita bhx 2501

"Definitely worth considering a decent battery hand held blower for those type of tasks. Considerably cheaper to run, quieter, etc. The hand held one I use has literally over twice the output of that Makita, but more expensive. Especially once you…"

"Picked up one of these last January, used daily all year, great bit of kit for the money, never skipped a beat. Doesnt have the grunt of the larger blowers but perfect for light blowing as you say "

"absolutely, the basic household ones can be single speed of course, with an "all or nothing" switch, but the medium to high end ones are all variable speed these days. I have noticed on some, the lowest speed it will run at can be too fast for some…"

"I have a cheap domestic Bosch one which is either full speed or off, so I'm ready now to get a more professional model I can graduate. I'll probably have to check out some YouTube reviews but want a shortlist really "

Sean Clarke replied to Peter sellers's discussion Makita bhx 2501

"Hi Peter

I have had one of these for 18 months. Had to get the belt changed after a year as it was about to ping but was due a service anyway. So it has been very reliable, no surprise really as it is a very solid well built machine but this makes…"

Ian Harvey replied to Shaun Forster's discussion Variable speed cordless strimmer

"I looked at Stihl and Ego, and ended up buying the Ego ST1401. Really impressed with the ruggedness, ease of use,ability to alter length of shaft. It's also got the power load, although that is handy, it wasn't my main driver. Battery life is good,…"

"Vic 100% agree. I used a 25hp lawnflite 42 inch collector for years and used the tarp on the grass I'd mow first then dump on the tarp and literally at the end just hand collect bag into ton bags but my tip fees have escalated recently after losing…"
