Brice, I use the motor part of my Sears shop vac. It can be unattached and is plenty powerful enough.
Yes, I am dependent on electricity but, look at it this way, I can always find my way to the house. (LOLLOLLOL) This does remind me of the time I was in the lot next to our mobile home. This was a corner lot and quite large. I always relied on traffic noise to keep my directions but, this time, there was not one vehicle moving - anywhere - for a good half hour. I know it seems stupid to get lost in a mobile home park but the lots were large and one dare not wander near the street because of the large, steep ditch. I also (stupidly) did not have a cane and I had left my trusty dog in the house. For the life of me I can not remember why in the world I was out there in the first place with nothing to help me. This is how we get into trouble.

I know in the past I'd get all turned around when operating a leaf blower. Well, now I'm in the market for a new blower. Do they make them any quieter? I'd like one that you can carry on your back.
