these may help when using a leaf blower. I know in the past I'd get all
turned around when operating a leaf blower. Well, now I'm in the market for

We use an electric one, made by weed Eater, and paid around $40 or
$50. The nozzle is flat, divided into 2 holes with narrow
openings. I think those smaller holes shoot the air, better.

Keep in mind, these leaf blowers make allot of noise. Just yesterday I was
using mine to suck of the leaves on the patio and walkway along the side of
the house and must have lost my bearing a half dozen times due to the noise.
I have an electric one that I bought from OSH about 8 years ago
And, I think, the gas ones are noisier.

Yesterday afternoon I did get to pick up a 10 amp Toro blower / vacuum
combination. That second thing is the only reason I wanted the thing in the
first place. It blows up to 215 MPH and has a bag attachment to catch all
of the clippings. So I was able to make fairly short work of
David, I'll let you borrow a 100 foot cord and then I will want to
