Well done. You remember cat good.
Dewalt are never going to be decent for garden machinery tbf. Stihl and Husqvarna make more serious battery blowers.
Obviously still not as powerful as a petrol job but battery tech like this is ever-evolving. The battery grinders and sabre saws I use now are mad, wouldn't have dreamed them possible 5 years ago.

Oh I do agree. Some of the battery powered stuff is amazing... but moving air is a big ask, which is why the 'good' leaf blowers have pretty huge engines. You'd need 100KG of batteries on your back to get similar results, unless you only need it for a 5 min job.

Or sideways, if you're doing a cross-stitch.

I had a Husky 510 about 30 years ago. We called it the ankle breaker, because the previous 2 owners had broken their ankles on it. One from kickstarting it, and the kickstart rebounded, and the other when it flipped over backwards and he tried to land like a boss, but landed like a bosshead instead. It was all but impossible to gain traction with it. You opened it up and the back wheel just spun, so it seemed like it was going nowhere... until you eased off the throttle, then the tyre got a grip, and it fucked you over the back, like a bucking bronco.

That on off nature of the Husky. I remember them well. My mate had one we always bump started it. Otherwise it was as bad as an old ex army Armstrong I owned. 500cc single. Kick start only. You had to know the precise series of actions in order to start it..
Or it would launch you into orbit.

Hardly getting over it.
One of the things residents asked for, when we started to take over services on the estate from the council, was "could we afford to go back to raking and collecting leaves, rather than using blowers?". We can, and we'll be doing it.

Excellent work.

I hadn't realised how many residents were either night-workers, or did shift patterns that included nights, until we asked. Almost 25%!!!
So, leaf blowers out, and petrol strimmers only for a couple of hours per day.

Loads of people on my estate work nights/evenings. I sometimes feel just a tiny bit guilty when I'm going out for a pub booze-up* and pass them on their way to work.I hadn't realised how many residents were either night-workers, or did shift patterns that included nights, until we asked. Almost 25%!!!

Yeah. We're awaiting a council directive to close down the community hall. Sure it'll occur to them soon.
No posts for a whole week! It’s like you lot don’t even care about leaf blowers and the havoc they are causing / good they are doing?!
Is no one angry? I know I am!
Has the op banned leaf blowers yet?

All of that, added to which are those that just blow the debris from a private space into the public domain. And don't get me started on those anti-social arse-swipes who power wash their drives leaving all of the shite on the pavement....
