My favourite on power tools was a fairly recent article advocating the banning of leafblowers because blowing leaves off grass will harm frogs.
Now maybe I've got this wrong but personally I think if you have grass that leaves you need to blow leaves from you probably mow it, and in my [sad and messy] experience hitting a frog with a quickly rotating blade is far more detrimental to it than blowing it over with a blast of air...
Ditto.
If its a little space then yeah, Perhaps. But if its a huge garden a leaf blower is key.
I could spend hours sweeping a garden or 5 minutes with a leaf blower. My customers WANT me to use a leaf blower because its quicker. They dont want to pay for endless sweeping. I use battery powered tools.
My leaf blower is not as powerful as the petrol powered ones and not as heavy, not as noisy and no harmful fumes.
battery leaf blower for me...never take a brush with me on jobs any more...quicker and better result and one doesn't feel like Trigger from only fools and horses
A brush will never be as neat or thorough as a blower.
The blower is the one main irreplaceable tool in my van. I could cut grass without a mower by strimming it, and edge manually without a strimmer. But no blower would mean my schedule becomes completely unworkable and I'd lose a load of money.
Good luck in the autumn Pete Jones, I'll stick with my blower if you don't mind - until they are banned!
