You said you where 60 in another post on another channel🤔

You are welcome.

The gloves say everything! 😂

I have the STIHL BG86 CE I use the flat tube more. Because it’s just better for wet leafs and tree limbs.

I've had an echo pb 2520 for 3 years and no problems

@@leadnsteel1428 I love echo, but since I have my edger and lawnmower Husqvarna, I wanted stay in the brand

And X series jacket. Not weighted towards Echo at all, huh?

@@waltheisenberg7626 Ohhhh my...... here come the stihlies. They would take a bullet for their $1000 over rated pos

Thank you

The blowing power was done with the open nozzle, so the 3 of them had the round nozzle. :)

Ben Gallet not a bit... I've owned the bg86 and 525... 525 blows it away

It's unfair wrist test to test the stihl with the narrow nozzle on, that creates a lot more blow and its going to have more pushback when hung on a string. Up until that point very good. I cannot see why you would change unless you are biased against the stihl.

@@6900pilot I've had the stihl 86, husky 525 currently running along with the new echo 2620. The stihl is trash

Hahaha!! Right!!! I think he cheated 😆.

Thanks! :)

😂😂🤣🤣 i hear ya

Echo is the choice for commercial use. it has 5yr consumer warranty. Also, the plastic end of tube is held by metal, unlike stihl all plastic tube construction

Hi Sam, thank you for your comment. The round or Flat nozzle will not make any difference on the Stihl nor Husqvarna nor Echo. The fact that the nozzle isn't in line with the handle on the Stihl creates the stress on the wrist.

It's not about the magnitute of the force, but the direction of the force

I can see where having the blower tube off set from the handle would produce a moment (twisting force) around a fixed point, which would be where one holds it...hand/wrist! However, I think your test may be more indicative of shoulder stress rather than wrist stress b/c in your test set up...w/ the string simulating one's arm, the fixed point represents the shoulder. I may be splitting hairs here and the point is probably moot b/c whatever the force is...it seems to be negligible. I recently purchased the Echo PB-2620 b/c it was $50 less costly than the Stihl BG-86, but I returned it. One thing that I did notice about the Echo was that the blower tube seemed to be off set from the handle (it had the straight tube as opposed to the PB-2520 curved tube). The reason I returned it was that I didn't feel it ran that well, seemed to need a carburetor adjustment out of the box...just didn't seem to have adequate power. I used to own a Stihl BG-86 and was very pleased w/ it. However, once it finally wore out...I purchased a backpack blower. Being used to the power of a backpack blower now, my expectations of any had held blower are probably going to result in disappointment! LOL But, I like the convenience of a hand held blower for quick jobs like my garage, side walk, or back deck! Thank you for the video comparison...you do a nice job w/ it!

@@JanMaesOutdoorTraining I believe your reply to Sam Wimpy shows your bias towards Echo. The round or flat nozzles DO make a difference! According to the PB-2620 owner's manual, the max air speed with the round nozzle is 172 mph and increases to 180 mph with the flat nozzle. In the Stihl owner's manual for the BG 86, it states the air velocity for the round nozzle is 154 mph and to 190 mph with the flat nozzle. On Husqvarna's website under product specifications for the 525BX, it states the air speed is 157 mph using the round nozzle and increases to 192 mph with the flat nozzle.

Also echo pb-2620 doesn’t come with crooked tubes. Pb-2520 does. ?

Which is better flat or round?

I’ve not been happy with the bg 86

Its just a very dated and underpowered machine unfortunately @@parkerk7018

US model has the straight pipe. Outside the US it has the curved pipe shown in this video. Been that way 4+ years

That's so weird. I noticed the offset pipe too. @@WisconsinEric

@@DAS-Videos My PB 2620 has the straight pipe and I have no issues with wrist stress, and I am more than happy with its performance.

I am trying to decide between the PB 2620 and the PB 2520 which is about 50$ less.@@WisconsinEric

@@DAS-Videos The EPA hour rating on the 2520 is only 50hrs vs the 2620's 300hrs. The 2620 has a chrome plated cylinder and piston as well as a second piston ring vs the 2520's single piston ring with no cylinder plating. I just finished my first full season with my PB 2620 and I could not be any happier with it. It exceeded all my expectations. I also bought an Echo SRM 2320T trimmer as it is Echo's least expensive trimmer with a chrome plated cylinder and 300hr rating.

And last 10 minutes in turbo mode... Give me gas any day.
