Leaf Blowers

Leaf blowers clear fallen leaves, grass clippings and debris.  Cordless and electric blowers suit residential gardens, while petrol blowers handle larger areas.  Many models double as vacuums for collection and mulching.

What are leaf blowers used for?
Leaf blowers clear leaves, grass clippings, and light debris from lawns, driveways, patios, and garden paths. They save time compared to raking and can also be used for light cleanup jobs around the workshop or garage.

What types of leaf blowers are available?

• Electric corded – lightweight and ideal for small gardens near a power source.

• Cordless (battery-powered) – portable, quiet, and best for medium gardens.

• Petrol-powered – more powerful and suited for large areas, heavy leaf fall, or professional landscaping. Some models also function as vacuums/mulchers.

How do I use a leaf blower efficiently?
Work in one direction (e.g., toward a pile or collection point), use short bursts of air instead of continuous blowing, and adjust speed settings to match the debris type. For wet or heavy leaves, higher power settings or petrol models work best.
