Cordless hand held blower
- Thread starter #18FAN
- Start date
Have any cordless tools already? Always worth starting with whatever brand that is if you do.
I have this Makita, works great for blowing crap off the deck, clearing the driveway and sidewalks after mowing, etc. I'm more of a rake guy when it comes to leaves (if I'm not just mowing them up) so can't comment on how it does for that job but for general clearing of hard surfaces it's great.

Greenworks 80V Backpack blower
This is the kind of answer you get when you say you "want power."
I'm thinking hand held just little porch area you'll have her doing the parking lot
Just get one to match your batteries you already have
Do not run anything on battery currently
Harbor Freight BAUER. I have one and the power is amazing. Get the higher power battery though for longer run time. Right now you can buy a Bauer battery and charger and get the tool free...not sure if the blower is included in the deal but if not it is still a good and reasonable deal
Now I want one!
Turbo mode pretty amazingNow I want one!
But not good for waking the neighbors like a 2 stroke
This is what I did.
My cordless tools are Milwaukee, so when the two cycle Stihl string trimmer finally crapped out, I bought a Milwaukee string trimmer, and it came with a leaf blower. It works well enough that the only time I get out the Stihl leaf blower, is in the fall, to blow up all the leaves.
I've never used any other cordless leaf blower, so I can't speak as to how the Milwaukee compares. But it has more than enough power to handle weekly cleanup after mowing and edging.
Here is your answer, we actually paid less a couple months ago.
Used for our driveway/patio/walkway after cutting the lawn, edging and applying fertilizers.
We also tried an EGO (600 series I think) because we have an EGO lawn mower but it was a stupid powerful blower and HEAVY for the light duty things we need to do so we returned it. Easy returns with Amazon and Walmart
This works really well for light duty stuff and it’s not too heavy. Being it’s Amazon, easy returns if your not happy.

Two Makita blowers. This one for the lawn:

They are both great. Makita makes bigger and smaller ones. Already had the 18V chargers and batteries for cordless drills, saws, and other tools. I am all in on the Makita 18V system for OPE. Blower, String Trimmer, hedge trimmer, lawn mower, leaf vacuum.

I picked up a Craftsman small, light, 2 speed cordless blower on sale at Lowe's when I bought my cordless string trimmer, on sale. They both work great and the batteries are interchangeable.
I have the 60 Volt DeWalt cordless blower and really like it and my wife will even grab it to blow grass clippings and leaves. She said it's her favorite tool.
