premature exaltation

November 30, 2017, 01:00 PM

the neighbor set a B&D cordless leaf blower out on the curb, it looked to be in great condition.

S C O R E !, I thought

Model # nsw18

the battery was woefully deficient ( 18v)

so I thought , no problem , $30.00

then I read a few reviews on this blower.

A. no where near enough wind power
B. 10 hour charge time on batt.
C. 12 min. run time

glad I checked prior to getting a battery ,
Out it goes !

Rely on Nature’s wind to blow the leaves over onto you neighbor’s yard.

I will say those little blowers are the cat's meow for blowing out the garage or the front porch and walk etc. or for blowing sawdust.

You might attempt a Karma for it here, just in case someone already has some B&D stuff and already has a Battery to use in it.

I have one like that.

It is good for blowing water out of mirrors and other places when drying your car.

Also works good for blowing the dust and stuff out of garage.

Leaf blower not so great.

I bleeve you've ALL missed the point here, folks.

It is a LEAF blower, NOT a LEAFS blower.

I bought the 20v version as all my other power tools are 20v B&D.....the above is correct, its got a turbo(?) Button that helps but its easier just to mow/mulch the leaves.

I have 40V Lithium Ion Battery Blower, Trimmer, and Chainsaw. They are adequate but still much less powerful than a 25cc 2-Stroke.

If it ain’t gas, it won’t last. There’s some things that just need a gas engine, like leaf blowers and automobiles.
