The leaves are falling and I really need help! Raking leaves and piling them into trash bags is not the best way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I would rather be in the great indoors watching College football!! The best thing I've discovered is my neighbor's leaf blower. He's done in minutes and has the ability to watch the entire game...not just the last quarter as the Florida Gators are beating Georgia. A great resource for leaf blowers is Sears! Sears carries 11 styles in the store and many more online. You can find electric blowers, gas blowers and backpack blowers (just like the pros use). Sears explains how to select a blower in four easy steps:
Q: What is the size of the area you're going to use the blower for?
A: Electric blowers are ideal for jobs within 100' of an electrical outlet and gas powered blowers offer the benefit of mobility.
Q: What do you plan on using the blower for?
A: A small area is great for electric blowers (a driveway or walk). For larger jobs you should consider a gas blower. Gas blowers offer more power and range...they can also mulch and bag.
Q: Do you have a lot of trees?
A: If you have several large trees, a higher output blower is needed (gas or electric depending on the distance from the house). If only a few small trees you can get by with a smaller blower.
Q: What additional accessories do you need?
A: A gutter kit is always highly recommended! No more ladders for cleaning out the gutter! Also, if you have a heavy job to do...look for hearing protection.
