well i do apologise for the light humour,  if you bothered to read on i did say the makitas are good, well built and nice to repair plus parts are pretty reliable.

If you had any experience of cleaning up after a big job you’d mug off the expense and buy a back pack blower. Time and labour are your most expensive commodity.

A bit tetchy there I would say. You get what you pay for . Invest in a decent backpack blower and you will never regret it. We have a Stihl BG85 and the backpack magnum. Yes we use a rake, but only for the big/coarse stuff.

We've got a mitox for blowing off machinery and it's pretty good. I normally go with husqvarna but it was cheaper, more powerful and a longer warranty so an easy choice.

I was trying to be nice, my personal view is if you are doing big jobs and cant afford a blower your doing it wrong.
