Then this guy on Youtube said the Stihl is more like a Ferrari in performance & power delivery, and the Husky more like an American muscle car with a little broader power spread. This might be better for me, since we always have many kinds of trees falling on the property.
Both have dealers sort of near me up north, so a draw there. If I didn't pay my $$ yesterday, there's a chance I would be buying the Stihl tomorrow, though. Both are kick-arse!

Which camp are you in?
The vast majority of my equipment is Stihl. I have a back up Husky trimmer and bought a Husky back pack leaf blower last year. Aside from those two items, everything else is Stihl aside from my mower.

I have a mowing crew and we've been using husq trimmers for almost 20yrs, light, easy and fast to start and the trigger pulls easy. Everything else is Stihl, love their BR700 blower.

lol don't worry I wouldn't do such a thing. You should see the review photos though, nasty! As someone who intubated airways for 13 years I think I'll be a-ok looking in my ears.

Been at the new house for like 2 months and still couldn't decide on a grill. Just ended up pulling the trigger on this. Should be here tomorrow.

I used to travel a lot for work years ago. I always carried my own shower head and pliers so I could change the pathetic shower head that most hotels had to my own so I could have a decent shower. It's a small comfort when you're away from home a lot. It's harder to do now as many hotel shower heads aren't as easy to remove as they used to be.

I used to visit Thailand for 2-3 months at a time and stay in hotels. Like you I would buy a better shower head and install it. Left them as they were cheap there and sometimes I could get that room back.
