<div dir="ltr">Fortunately if you buy a Stihl, you won't get it form Amazon. Or Wal-Mat either for that matter. They will only sell to dealers who will take the time to assemble the machine, and make sure you know how to use it. This turned out somewhat comically when my wife wanted to buy me a new Stihl chainsaw for Christmas a few years back. The up-side was she learned the basics of chainsaw operation. The down-side was she then had to but a saw full of fuel and oil in her car to take it home. Still one of the best gifts I have ever received. <br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 2, 2019 at 7:53 AM Tim . via Shop-talk <<a href="mailto:shop-talk@autox.team.net">shop-talk@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

My contribution is that I use the detachable unit from my Husky shop vac. It is fine for what I need it for but does require an extension cord which is not a big deal for my half acre or so lot. </div>

My gripe is that amazon is bad bad bad. Support brick and mortar shops because if we don't they will one day all be gone. Remember Sears? I remember having a hardware store in the small town we live it. That's gone. I can go on and on. </div>

<div><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Hey, this list has been real quite lately.</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I just got home from a 6 month EPIC build with the Army. Experience of a lifetime!</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Again, I give thanks for the awesome brain trust here! (and as soon as I get this email back with the donate link, I plan to drop some 'thanks' on the moderator!)</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">One question, in my quest to always buy tools when they are going on clearance, I'm in the market for a backpack leaf blower.</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Price is not really a limiting factor, but I want POWER!!! Any suggestions? It seems that leaf blowers play the 'air compressor' game and claim ridiculous stats with no one holding their feet to the fire.</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Any suggestions? I plan to buy right away. I normally use Amazon but if there is a place other that Amazon to get it, let me know.</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Thanks again and I hope all is well!</span>
<br>
