ABOUT ECHO...

In a world that’s constantly changing, one thing you can depend on, is your Echo tool.

For over 75 years, Echo has been building tools for commercial users around the world. From its humble beginnings in Japan with a simple handheld crop duster, to creating the world’s first ever power blowers in 1975, Echo has become a technological leader and well respected global brand.

As technology and users’ needs evolve, so too does Echo, staying on the pulse of the industry through decades of expertise and by listening to the feedback we receive. Echo's aim is not to react to changes in the market, but to be at the forefront. It does this by putting its dedication to producing the highest quality products above all else. Echo petrol tools continuously exceed increasingly stringent emissions requirements yet retain the robust power and dependability Echo is renowned for. Echo is reaching into new technologies such as professional performance battery tools and robotics with the careful and precise consideration that makes all Echo products ones you can depend on; this is our priority.

In the line-up you will find our staple, professional engine products amongst new battery products aimed at professionals, and for the first time, a range aimed solely at domestic users. Echo believes that the technology is now ready to offer great benefits for both professional and domestic users alike. So, whether you’re a fully-fledged outdoor professional or someone newly inspired to transform your environment into something more, Echo guarantees a tool that’s been crafted with expertise and passion, a tool you can depend on.

PURCHASING ECHO PRODUCTS

Echo products come equipped with a range of unique product features designed to deliver ease and comfort for users.

Echo is successful in producing low vibration and low noise for power tools and are leaders in two-stroke power tool emission technology. Echo casts and machines every engine in Japan where quality and consistency are closely controlled. And to gain manufacturing efficiencies, they are assembled at various factories around the world to the same exact standards.

Leading in two-stroke power tool emission technology
Echo has the widest variety of emission compliant engines ever certified for EPA, CARB regulations and EU directives. Echo has condensed the years of development in the USA into the trademarked Power Boost Tornado technology, with a highly refined two-stroke engine design. This technology is now applied across the Echo Power Tool range, with engines delivering more power, higher fuel efficiency and better engine lubrication, while improving combustion and reducing exhaust emissions.

Low Vibration
Echo has taken up the challenge and is successfully producing measures for maximum control of vibration. Echo products are designed and manufactured for constant and lengthy use by professional users, with homeowners/domestic users also able to enjoy the benefits of commercial quality and features. Under independent tests, Echo brush cutters and Echo hedge cutters have produced the lowest vibration figures. ECHO is one of very few manufacturers who make its own engines, therefore every ECHO product is designed and tested as a completed package. This ensures high quality, ergonomically designed equipment, with maximum vibration controls.

Low Noise
With power tool equipment in use in public and residential areas, noise is of primary concern, Echo has developed the technology to control and minimise noise pollution. Echo designs and manufactures engines from scratch, matching low noise engines to low vibration products, by retaining complete manufacturing control.

ECHO Innovation - i-start
The i-start device makes first time starting of two-stroke engines a certainty, while removing 90% of the effort required. i-start stores the energy of one long and gentle pull, or two short pulls of the recoil starter and delivers it in a dynamic burst that starts the engine every time.

ECHO Innovation - Easy Start
Denoted by the ES symbol on the power tool, Easy Start works in a different way to i-start to minimise the effort required to start the engine. With Easy Start the pulling power needed on the starter rope is greatly reduced compared to other makes, with no kick-back effect when cranking.
