Description
ECHO's X Series PB-2620 handheld leaf blower has the power to move leaves and debris. Whether your cleaning up hedge clippings, wood chips or grass from the walk areas, the commercial features and durability make it a must have for landscape professionals.
Zoom on the Echo PB-2620
With its gas handheld design, the Echo PB-2620 is a good match for homeowners with a small outdoor space such as a patio, driveway, or yard under about a quarter acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 456 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 172 MPH. Practically, this means the blower should handle large amounts of leaves across yards, patios, or driveways while also having enough speed to move damp leaves, acorns, or small twigs.
A 25.4-cc 2-stroke engine powers the PB-2620, which needs a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mixture. With a 20.3 fl. oz. fuel tank, this gas handheld blower has the largest tank among its peers.
With its variable speed settings, the Echo PB-2620 allows you to precisely control its air output. In addition, the blower is also equipped with cruise control, with which the user can easily maintain the selected settings.
This gas handheld blower has a dry weight of 9.7 lbs and is intended for one-handed operation with controlled airflow.
