Which kind of engine is in more of your equipment?

Which do you have more of - 2 stroke power tools or 4 stroke power tools?

I have to say, I have 5 handtools with engines and my Stihl with the new 4stroker sounds much better. It has lower torque so I don't have to rev so high. I haven't had to do any repairs on it yet, It looks hell of a lot more complicated then the 2's though.

I've got a Stihl 4-mix too and I think I'm going to convert to this style machine with replacements. It starts much easier and runs smoother and quieter than the 2 stroke.

Those 4-mix Stihl's are impressively quiet; leave your ear protection in the cab until the leaves begin to fall.

Most of my tolls are echos so they are two strokes the new stil 4 strokes are a bit pricy
