United rentals? Walk behind Leaf Blowers?

[Chiefmcfuz]

First has anyone ever bought any used tools from United Rental? Can anyone suggest a walk behind leaf blower that works nicely but isn't going to break the bank?

Any other reliable places to buy used equipment?

This is new, but powerful and reasonably priced. Probably the same price someone would want for a used one.

I was looking at those actually, look nice but I only need it 2 times per year at most. Maybe next year I pick one up.

light weight, no wires. does the job

Yeah something like that would work if you would only use it like twice a year.

I have a backpack blower but was looking for a walk behind as well because they are stronger.

chief: haven't purchased any tools from united rentals. I have my eye on a little wonder leaf blower. My neighbor has one and I'm hoping he sells it to me when he moves (since he's moving cross country I doubt he will take it with him).

However the little wonders are even more expensive from when I was looking at them a few years ago.

Did you try ebay? In Jersey we have Taylor Rentals and there are a few lawn service shops that sell used equipment where I live.

This one looks interesting and is somewhat local

I have a shindaiwa backpack blower. Like it but not as powerful as the walk behind leaf blower.

Good luck in your search..
