Stihl VS Echo Backpack blower battle

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Dan details the control handle of the Stihl BR 800 C Magnum. He highlights its one-touch stop switch, which automatically bounces back to the run position after turning the blower off. He also demonstrates the throttle lock (or 'cruise control') feature, allowing users to maintain a set throttle speed for extended periods without constantly holding the trigger. This is particularly useful for heavy-duty cleanup tasks.

Goal: Explain the user-friendly control handle and throttle lock.

What they say

Hide

going to be really useful for those situations like we're about to be in now with pretty heavy duty leaf cleanup. So we decided to stage a pretty heavyduty cleanup by tossing out a bunch of bags of wet deadlies and tall grass and seeing if this steel backpack blower could handle it. Let's find out. So, how many bags did you toss out, Frankie? There must be eight, 10 bags. What is this? Just kind of like wet dead dillies. Well, some of it's leaves and there's some suck, but mostly it's long. It's just long grass.
