[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3926121, member: 35036"] If you have dewalt tools, I would go with a dewalt blower, just because you already have the batteries. I have used the ego blowers before, I think it was a lower end model. Buddy had it, and it was about a year old. After daily use (he details cars and uses the blower to remove excess water) the battery was crap and the blower motor was going out. The switch was also worn out and working intermittently. I have heard good things about them too though. To replace his ego blower, my buddy bought a Milwaukee blower. That thing, like the rest of milwaukees lineup, was a hoss. I used Milwaukee for 10ish years as a mechanic, and still use their stuff for home remodeling, projects around the house, and yard stuff. I’m a fan. That’s what I would go with. If I were in your shoes, I would take advantage of you local big box stores generous return policy, and buy a dewalt blower. Try it out. If it does the job you need it to, keep it. If it sucks, return it within the return window, and buy an ego to try out. If you’re not impressed, or are just itching to get some new tools, sell the dewalt stuff and the backpack blower and replace all that yellow dewalt with red Milwaukee. [/QUOTE]
