The stihl bg86 by a mile

 

Used both, the stihl got nicked from a job so got a husky, vibes are very bad on the husky.

Got br600 and bg86, only use the bg for patios and beds etc (or unblocking the chipper!)

 

Both are great IMO.

I have both the blowers you mention . The husky is supposed to put out a bit more puff but the stihl seems to blow more . maybe its because it is louder ?

Really?

 

The max saving you can possibly make is £66 plus vat, assuming you get the very cheapest UK deal over a full retail sale in Ireland.

 

Does that really cover the travel costs and loss of local warranty service?

 

Why not try a Tanaka? there are plenty of Tanaka dealers around Cork.
