Redmax-Shindaiwa-or Stihl

Hey guys,

Im needing some info and suggestions about which blowers I should buy.Im considering the STIHL BR600,REDMAX EBZ7100,and SHINDAIWA EB802.Ive heard mixed suggestions and dont know which is best.


p.s. it doesnt come down to dealers,because I like all three and have purchased from all of them before.



THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Yater I didnt know your in Tyler aswell.Ive dealt with cutters equipment several times and they seem fine to me(dont know what they did or didnt do to you) ive also heard things about the br600.Some say its the best you can buy and others say dont go near it.I think ill buy it later as a backup so if it brakes down it wont matter cause ill have 2 others.Yater!!-Enviro care uses the br600s and they are an established company.

Thanks for the posts-Keep sending em. Im leaning toward buying the EBZ7100 and EB802 simultaneously.
