Leaf Blowers

Two blowers, and the difference is not power. It's stamina.

For a normal residential yard, cordless wins on nearly every count — no fuel, no pull cord, far quieter, and it starts on a trigger on a cold November morning. Petrol earns its place on long driveways, acreage and heavy tree cover, where you need to keep going long after a battery has given up. Read the backpack blower page before ordering it: it runs at 112 dB, and petrol blowers are restricted or banned in a growing number of US towns.
