I borrowed a a Black and Decker blower, (ok, so not a Rolls Royce), rated at 3kW, and that does the job fairly effectively. However it is a little heavy and unmanageable for SWMBO.
I have always had great respect for Stihl kit as it was aimed at the truly professional market, with prices to match. However looking at some of the recent product offerings they appear to be distinctly down market and built with a price to match the bottom end competition. Has the Brand been diluted in the race for sales?
I am still somewhat doubtful of how a 18v 1.5Ah cordless can compete with any 3kW device, even when allowing for a manufacturers battery life rating of 10 minutes :)
