STIHL introduces new backpack blower

The STIHL BR 700 X backpack blower (64.8 cc) delivers 34 newtons of blowing force. Its fixed-length tube is a half-pound lighter than the STIHL BR 700 backpack blower and features a more flexible pleated connecting hose, reducing fatigue and increasing the speed of cleanups by up to 20 percent.

“Users can swivel the tube quickly, leading to a fast-walking speed, helping cover large surface areas in less time,” said Thomas Techow, STIHL Inc. product manager. “The BR 700 X is packed with professional features making it an excellent choice on any jobsite.”

The blower is designed for tasks like heavy debris cleanup and year-round use with its low-emission, fuel-efficient engine and low cost of operation.

Other features include:

• A simplified starting procedure and semi-automatic choke offers smooth, easy starts with a reduced chance of flooding.

• A one-touch stop switch allows the user to turn off the engine with the press of a button. When the engine is off, the one-touch stop switch automatically returns the blower to the start position, saving users time and reducing the chance of flooding the engine when restarting.

• The control handle adjusts without the need of tools

• Two blower tube lengths allow the user to quickly adjust the length for a variety of user heights and cleanup applications.

• Standard comfort elements include an adjustable support harness, rubberized handle grips, anti-vibration system, extra-wide straps and backpack pad.
