Anyone know how many hours this engine is rated for? http://www.craftsman.com/craftsman-25cc-...mp;blockType=G3
Local Ace Hardware is running a sale on a similar craftsman blower. Listed at $100 but marked down to $80.
Normally I would just go for the Echo, but my blower gets minimum use for most of the year. Leaves are mulched by the mower and blower serves mainly to blow the leaves (and snow) off the patio and clean out the garage. My last blower was a craftsman that I bought out of a guy's front yard for $35 and it lasted me 5 years. Just curious what others had to say on the matter. Perhaps it's time for me to stop being cheap.
