I have 2 of the BG55 and I think I will always keep one handy I'm convinced there indestructible! I have a couple of battery tools I'm starting to use that have proven themselves worthy, I can see battery only getting better in the future. Like the channel✔👍
Must agree with you. Would have loved to compare battery vs petrol vs electric. Unfortunately cant afford all the equipment in the world. But will get there someday. Thanks so much for your input.. much appreciated 🙏🏻
Thanks Merrick, I have a cheap Ryobi petrol and surprisingly has lasted for more than 10 years with no major issues. My next one will be a Makita battery powered.
I think if you already have an electric mower and trimmer the electric blower would make sense. But purchasing a blower and then having to spend another R700 - R800 on a 50m cord plus contending with load shedding, the petrol unit would win hands down in my view. I also have the exact same Stihl blower and probably one of my favorite tools.
Electric cabling in thicker gauges, that carry current well are not cheap and they are heavy. I have the Stihl Bg86 and just like yours, it takes a minute or so to run it's best and fastest.
