Husqvarna Battery blower. Anyone using it?

[Leafguy]

Hey,

Just checking to see if anyone is using a battery blower on a regular basis? I've been really happy with the climbing saw and am thinking of getting a blower. I don't use backpack blowers and don't need that power.

Appreciate any insights.

My wife loves the one I bought for her. I have a Still 420 backpack that seldom goes out since I bought a Still Kombi tool and blower attachment.

The Husky is a little weaker than the Kombi but stronger than the Milwaukee Fuel 18.

I want one for sitting in the chipper feed table when I'm back to more elective spending. I blow off/out the radiator after every chipping cycle.

(My wife says I can take hers and use it....then she said, just don't scratch it.)

Just like a woman.

I'm in the same boat. I already have the husqvarna top handle and since I already have 4 batteries I thought I might as well get the blower and possibly the pole saw. Just waiting to see what everyone thinks about them. Patrick at Educated Climber has a video about the pole saw and seems to like it.

I use the pole saw a lot. Has a bunch of torque. People are always happy when they realize I am running battery equipment, even for part of the day.

Tomorrow is my grandsons 11th birthday. 2 years ago his dad got him the husky battery blower and weed eater. The boy tears it up with those two tools. Last year I told him I had a very special birthday gift for him but he had to wait till I came to visit. He asked if it was a chainsaw. No it wasn't, but soon enough.

Merle, do you have the husky polesaw or stihl?

When I get that I just set it down and walk away. When she asks why I won't use it I just chuckle and say "it'll get scratched".

I like mine a lot. It’s perfect for most small jobs. It’s also super nice to clean up with a quieter tool after running saws and a chipper all day.

The Dewalt turbine-looking blower is pretty impressive, that’s the only one I’ve used, and I only got to play with one a bit, but I would buy one if I had Dewalt batteries.

One Husky batt.

Several Stihl HT 101 and 131.

I have the husky battery pole saw...it is fantastic. I went into my (former) dealer and he was closing shop. Already had the t536 so thought I would pick up the battery hedge trimmer for an upcoming job. When I got there he said if you buy the trimmer and pole saw he would give me them both for $1000 (CAD) all in and he also threw in a bunch of other little goodies....best $1000 I have ever spent.

I'm giving serious consideration to the Husky Battery pole saw. Getting to old to be tugging on the old Jameson blues all the time.

12 max bar on Husky. The Stihl 131 is a little heavier than the Stihl 101 (12 inch bar) but, I can run a 14 inch bar on the 131. Just more info. I love them all and get a lot of speeded up work done with them.

Hell yes get the blower. They are amazing! Makes blowing off roofs at end of day in a harness way smoother and easier... and takes up a lot less space in the truck. Plenty powerful.
