Several years ago (maybe 8?) I bought a refurbished Homelite Backpack blower
from Harbor Freight.
It's been going strong ever since and it's really easy to use.
I also have the same basic blower in a hand held that someone gave me. It is
very hard to control as the blower "blows" itself all over the place - it's
hard
to hold it pointed where I want it to go, especially if I'm swinging it back
and
forth (the gyroscopic effects kick in to and tries to move it where I don't
want
it to go.
Spring for the backpack blower if you need any blower at all. It was the best
$99 I ever spent. :) If I had to replace it, I'd still get another backpack.
And it doesn't have to be a top dollar, big brand version, it's not like it's
going to get a lot of abuse - it's just going to be blowing a lot of air (it's
hard to overload it doing that).
