Gardening; Blower vacs

General blower vac use:

Hand-held blower vacs can be extremely useful for a variety of gardening tasks. Gathering and shredding garden leaves is, of course the most obvious. Gardeners love the vacuum function for making mulch and compost out of grass and leaves. Used this way, these machines can reduce 16 bags of loosely packed leaves to one mulched blower bag. This will make any gardeners life a little easier.

Range of blower vac uses:

Blower vacs are particularly useful for clearing out leaves and debris when space is restricted, such as behind garden sheds, around trees, or other diffcult to reach areas of the garden. With a special extension attachment, they are also handy for "sweeping" out gutters, garages, and carports, not to mention cleaning driveways or decks before sealing them. They're also used to sweep pool decks and even dry off cars and their engines after a wash.

Blower Vacs; Noise

The garden blower vac Two-stroke engines are powerful for their weight and inexpensive to manufacture, but these advantages are also disadvantages. They are inherently dirtier and noisier garden tools. Blower vac Manufacturers such as Echo utilize unique sound attenuation technology for the PB-46LN. Others have designed larger mufflers, rubber-isolated engine mounts, and spring-mounted handles. Some, like Husqvarna, have developed low-smoke oil and redesigned the combustion chamber and muffler in order to reduce emissions. Both Honda and Ryobi have designed smaller, quieter, and less polluting four-stroke engines that will soon serve to power garden blower-vacs.

Petrol blower vacs / Electric blower vacs

Recently electric blower vacs have started to appear. In response to concerns over the noise of petrol-powered blower vacs, corded electric models are now more powerful than ever, some of them even surpassing their petrol-powered brethren, and with less weight. The biggest drawback to these garden machines is that you're limited to 100 feet from the plug socket, or the motor can be damaged. A few cordless battery-powered blower-only models are also available, but they tend to be heavy and have limited run times.

Above all, be safe when using a blower vac. These garden machines are very simple and safe to use if done so properly with the guidance of the operators manual.
