The handheld Makita blowers are light and powerful and extremely reliable - all for £200!

I don't know how vibration levels are recorded - or even if they are. I would imagine all new machines have to meet a certain standard though. I own 4 of the Makita blowers and all I can say is that you don't notice them vibrating to a point that they are going to affect your hands.

If you like the Stihl and can hold on for a couple of months their new one is coming out BG56 or BG86 the BG86 has the new anti-vibration system on it the price will change by about £2.00
