Stihl released the BR 700 X backpack blower, a fuel-efficient blower designed for heavy debris cleanup and large property maintenance, the company said.
The backpack blower includes two lightweight fixed-length tubes, a flexible pleated connecting hose, a semi-automatic choke, a one-touch stop switch and an adjustable control handle.
“Users can swivel the tube quickly, leading to a fast walking speed, helping cover large surface areas in less time,” said Thomas Techow, product manager for Stihl. “The BR 700 X is packed with professional features making it an excellent choice on any job site.”
Additional features include an adjustable support harness, rubberized handle grips, an antivibration system, extra-wide straps and a backpack pad.
The blower starts at an MSRP of $549.95.
