Trimmers, Edgers and Blowers
Blowers clear leaves, clippings, and debris with directed air. Handheld units are the catalog's core class.

How it works
A fan accelerates air through a nozzle; performance combines velocity (mph) for stubborn, wet debris and volume (cfm) for moving mass. Technique — working with wind, herding to tarps — matters as much as output.
Types & variants
- Handheld Blower
- Gas or battery blower for clearing leaves and debris.
How to choose
Battery units now cover residential and noise-restricted work; gas retains the edge for all-day commercial clearing. Cfm moves piles, mph dislodges matted material — the spec pair is read together, and local noise ordinances increasingly steer the choice.
Standards & certifications
- ANSI/OPEI · B71 series
- Safety specifications for consumer and commercial turf-care equipment.
Frequently asked
What do cfm and mph each indicate on a blower?
Cfm is volume — how much debris mass the airstream can herd; mph is velocity — its ability to lift wet, matted leaves. High-cfm moderate-mph machines clear ground fastest.
Are battery blowers viable for commercial use?
Increasingly — swappable packs cover crews through a day, and noise ordinances in many municipalities favor them outright. Gas still wins on uninterrupted heavy clearing.
What technique speeds cleanup?
Working downwind in overlapping sweeps toward a tarp or line, letting the air herd material rather than scattering it — the airstream is a broom, not a hose.
