I have one and its a the best built blower I have used.Mine was not new and had been sitting for some time and the mice had filled it with seeds and every other thing they could stuff inside it.I took it apart and cleaned it up put it back together and filled it with oil.It is a very smooth blower Bob HotAnvil Forge http://www.geocities.com/hotanvil http://members.tripod.com/hotanvil_forge (NEW SITE)
