STIHL® Leaf Blowers For Sale in Waynesboro and Everett, PA

Outdoor power equipment is designed to suit a wide range of purposes, with unique machines created for specialized tasks. Leaf blowers are one of those machines, capable of quickly clearing away lightweight debris and organic matter. If you’re in the market for a new leaf blower, here’s some information on the many options. 
 

Before you buy, investigate whether your community has enacted any restrictions on leaf blowers. Restrictions like this are increasingly common, due to complaints about their emissions, their noise, and the clouds of airborne particles they launch. 
 

All users should wear ear protection, especially with gas-powered blowers. Everyone should wear breathing protection. Studies prove that these machines raise dust including fecal matter, chemicals, pesticides, fungi, and heavy metals. Gas-powered blowers emit hazardous exhaust. Be a good neighbor and stop blowing when anyone comes near. 
 

When comparing blowers, consider the air velocity they generate, which usually ranges between 100 and 200 MPH. As you might expect, more power equals more weight, and more weight equals more aches! 
 

This is a central decision point. Electric blowers that rely on an extension cord are a great option for smaller properties with adequate outlets. Another power option is rechargeable battery power. These work well for most residential properties, especially if you keep an extra battery charged to swap out. These options are light, quiet, low maintenance, and easy to start. 

A gas-powered blower will run all day, anywhere. Many commercial landscapers prefer them for their power and versatility. They do have downsides: Significant vibrations, emissions, and noise. All of these are unhealthy for the operator. None of these are appreciated by the neighbors. They also require messy refueling and routine maintenance of spark plugs, oil, filters, etc.
