Stihl Blasgerät BR 700

always used a handheld bg86 but had a large area to clear of leaves regularly so splashed out. What a beast. Took a fraction of the time its so powerful..... it certainly builds up your arm muscles keeping the nozzle where you want it as the power tends to push your arm in the wrong direction..... not a problem... just my weak arms I guess!. Very easy to start.... one pull is usually all it needs. Compared to my other Stihl gear, very heavy on fuel though the tank does hold alot so not a problem there.

Easy to start, use and quite powerful. Its a tad greedy on the fuel but not much else to complain about. Perhaps the BR600 would have been a better choice, who knows?

Easy start, comfortable to wear and very powerful. Quite greedy on fuel but good capacity tank. Robust and built to last
