Deal Details
Northern Tool has reconditioned Husqvarna 125B handheld 2-stroke gas powered leaf blowers on sale for $129.99. According to the website, the tool is not available in-store, only as an online purchase drop-shipped for $16 from the manufacturer.

https://www.northerntool.com/shop..._200481414

Bonus: Add code 281745 to receive up to an extra 10% back in promotional gift cards from Northern Tool ($10 back on $100, $25 back on $250, etc.)

Marketing Wank from Husqvarna [husqvarna.com].

Final Thoughts: I have this blower and it works reasonably well for sidewalks, driveways, and walking around on the roof blowing out gutters. Stupid gutters. Anyways, when I bought mine, on the same receipt, I bought a wildly overpriced gallon of premixed Husqvarna 50:1 fuel to extend the warranty [husqvarna.com].

Even more thoughts: if you mix your own fuel (I do) and IF it's available in your area, show your 2-strokes some love and only use ethanol-free fuel when mixing with the appropriate ounces of synthetic 2-stroke oil. You'll pay more at the pump, but you can skip all of the grief associated with carb and starting problems 2-strokes suffer from when subjected to pouring 10% corn sugar in their tanks. Also, this Husqvarna carb has a 2-setting choke on it. If you're not used to a 2-setting system, you'll want to review the instruction sticker on the side until you get used to it.

+one to this. I had this blower. the first year i had it, stored it over winter, went to start it in the spring it was leaking gas. The plastic gas line deteriorated over the winter because of the gas.

I use normal gas in my equipment during the seasons it in use frequently. But at the end of season before storage I'll run the tank empty, add a bit of ethanol free gas with some stabil in the the tank and run it for a bit. Not dry but just enough to circulate the ethanol free gas into the system good. Then store it for the season.

Does the extend warranty thing work for refurb items? The refurb only has a 3 month warranty.

just fyi, get the stihl bg50 from a dealer same price as this (regular price not sale price). Buy their oil and you get a 2 year warranty from the dealer and if the thing acts up you just drive down there instead of tossing it like these. Think i paid 150 but don't quote me.

The previous commenter was referring to this Stihl blower:

...which has about 67% of the velocity of my electric Toro blower and only 78% of the listed Husqvarna. The Stihl likely the weakest gas powered blower in its segment.

I have the next size up Stihl, it's a POS. At least ten pulls to get it started. SD used to have daily sales on a Hitachi blower. Purchased one for $55 and love that blower way more than the Stihl. Just as powerful as my POS Stihl. This blower looks like my Hitachi one.
