    Re: Buying equipment overseas

    I found a trusted seller on eBay USA who ships Echo stuff to Australia, he has chainsaws, backpack blowers and hedge trimmers. Shipping cost is very reasonable.

    Re: Blower needed!!!!

    I believe the AU and US model is identical. Therefore, the spec is a bit misleading.

    The AU model is called PB-255ES. It's advertised as 107 db(A). I assume the noise is measured at the machine...

    Re: Blower needed!!!!

    I don't think you understand how the dB(A) measurement works. 70 dB(A) vs 65 dB(A) is about twice the noise level!

    Bear in mind: "personal hearing protection is not very effective against very...

    Re: Blower needed!!!!

    I need to buy a new blower, my main priority is quietness.

    I've deduced to these 65 dB(A) models:

    1. Echo PB-255ES
    2. Stihl BG 66 Easy2Start

    I like the Echo "Rotational Control" design, it...

    Absolutely rubbish, look at the eBay listing again, postage rate to Australia is insignificant. I've verified with seller.

    Re: USA mower on the market

    My dream mower is the John Deere reel mower (on left, click on 180C or 220C or 260C).

    Here's a used one from eBay. With these kind of prices (Aussie dollar being strong) you'd be stupid to buy...

  14. Re: Ladder accessory for safety & to avoid gutter damage

    My mistake, I should have made myself clearer. Anyway, thanks for your input. I'm happy with the Ladder's Little Helper tool. Although I seldom would use it, the protection it provides is priceless...
  15. Re: Ladder accessory for safety & to avoid gutter damage

    Kindly refer to my first post, I have a dual purpose ladder i.e. I use my ladder in A frame mode to clean my gutters so I don't need any "helper". Only in extremely rare event do I use it in...
  16. Re: Ladder accessory for safety & to avoid gutter damage

    On a serious note; I've decided to buy the Ladder's Little Helper tool.

    The reason is that I'm not accessing rooftops often (maybe twice a year) so my ladder with the Laddermate tool would've been...

    Re: What's the best 15-20 litre sprayer?

    After a hours of researching, I found the Cordless Squirt. The RRP is $425, it's a bit too big/expensive but I'll settle on this if there's nothing better. What do you think?

    Re: Lightest trimmer ? Bad back !

    I believe the KBL27A dry weight is about 5 kg with head and guard. Kawasaki has it advertised for 4.6 kg without head and guard (common practice).
