Husqvarna 525BX Professional Handheld Blower

The Husqvarna 525BX is a professional gas handheld blower sized for quick cleanup: sawdust off a driveway, chips out of a flower bed, and leaves off a walkway before the crew leaves. It is light enough to grab off the truck for a few minutes of work.

Cleanup on tree jobs

Every tree job leaves sawdust on concrete, chips in the grass, and leaves on the roof edge. A handheld blower clears that faster than a broom. The 525BX is built for professional use, with a two-stroke engine that runs on standard mixed fuel and a compact body that hangs on a truck hook.

For big leaf jobs a backpack blower is still faster, but for finishing a tree job, the handheld is the one you will use daily.

A handheld blower is also handy before the work starts: clearing leaves off a roof edge to see the gutters, blowing debris off a driveway so you can lay mats, or cleaning dust off the chipper and truck at the end of the day. Many crews keep one on every truck for exactly those small jobs that a backpack unit is too much for.

Running and maintaining it

Use fresh, correctly mixed fuel, clean the air filter often in dusty conditions, and check the spark plug at the start of each season. Wear eye and hearing protection, and blow debris away from people, cars, and open windows.

Keep the intake clear of leaves and never point the tube at anyone. Follow Husqvarna's operator manual. More gear is in blowers and other equipment.
