so this has been my blower for a few years, a huge heavy chonker
like all gas things it takes like 10 pulls, i have to adjust the choke right to get it started, but once it starts, it's fine.
as i was doing yardwork it died and locked up, smelled "burnt" and i couldn't hulk smash pull the cord no matter what.
i've had this happen to my gas pressure washer b4, but i know that all i have to do is release the pressure (just squeeze the handle and let out water) and it's fine again.
i just said fuck it and went to hd
i didn't even know deals were going on, but they were
the shitty ryobi 40v battery alone goes for over $100, wth, lets try
this light little shit is better than that gas monstrosity i've been using for almost 8years
burst power is great (i have wet leaves now), only con is that it is an energy vampire.
