The idea for this brief product look was the purchase a few years ago of a mains-powered leaf blower-vac to blow a combine clean in the yard between jobs.The blower in question worked well enough but the hassle of the cable and not being able to use it in the field soon meant it was relegated to occasional use. To get a better understanding of the differences we assembled the following:
●Makita BHX2501 (petrol powered)
●Makita DUB363 PT2V (cordless)
●Sovereign blow vac (corded electric)
●Stihl BG86C (petrol powered)
●Stihl BGA86 (cordless)
Leaf blowers compared: Portable blowing power
<p>Designed to blow autumn leaves from lawns and gardens, the humble leaf blower has long been pressed into service for a range of other jobs to include helping remove debris built up on various bits of farm kit and buildings. Here we look at mains, petrol and battery powered models. Were we blown away with what we found?</p>
