What commercial grade landscaping tool brand is the best?
I am looking to start up my own landscaping business next year and I am wondering what direction I should go with my purchases. I am currently working for someone else right now and we are using some STIHL products (kombi motor split shaft power broom, trimmer, pruning tool, and edger) and some older SHINDAIWA brand trimmers and backpack blowers. We also have 1 STIHL backpack blower. I have found that the STIHL brand trimmers are much, much more powerful than the SHINDAIWA brand. The SHINDAIWA backpack blowers have a little more power than the STIHL but are almost twice the weight, and make a lot more noise. We just got the STIHL equipment this year so as far as longevity goes I have no idea what to look forward to. Does anyone know if STIHL products will last as long or longer than the SHINDAIWA products?
Anything by Makita is well worth recommending.
