Q: Hi Joe,
I am interested in Tanka TRB24EAP leaf blowe, it's used 50:1 oil/mix ratio. I read few discussion on line they recommend to go with 40;1 is best. Also I like to ask your recommendation of 2 stroke oil brand. Thanks

A: Tuan,

There is really not better or worse when you are speaking of 2-cycle mix ratios. You only want to follow the ratio requested by the manufacturer.

Now when you are talking 2-cycle oil, you can save yourself headache and heartache and treat your hard working engine the way it deserves.

Make sure you purchase a quality 2-cycle oil for your small engine. Saving a few bucks and getting an all purpose oil may seem neat at the time, but watch those bucks fly away on maintenance and repair soon to come. An all purpose oil is not designed to handle the rigors of motion or the heat of a small engine. You will have all types of gunk and deposits left behind.

To make sure you are buying quality 2-cycle oil, look for the this on the label: JASO-FD. This is the Japanese Automotive Standards seal of approval noting that you are using a quality oil that has met the highest standards of testing and will, in fact, cleanse your engine while in use.

Q: HI Joe, I am seeking a blower that will help with snow removal and gutter cleaning. I looked both backpacks and hand held gas models. My dilema is that my gitters need attention but we are going into winter season and my uphill drive is more that a handful. Any suggestions?

A: Sarah,

I am not sure how you planned to clean your gutters, but I am able to access my roof by ladder and blow all of my gutter leaves and rooftop debris to the floor.

If you choose a model like the Husqvarna 350BT backpack leaf blower:

You would have all of the power you need to tackle any major driveway, but also have a unit that is lightweight enough to handle a rooftop if necessary. You must keep in mind that snow removal is not the intended use for this piece of equipment. You will only be able to blow away fresh fallen snow with any true amount of effectiveness.

Please remember that rooftops can be extremely slippery and unsafe to navigate in frozen conditions. Please use all recommended and necessary safety precautions before attempting any debris removal in the winter.
