Leaf Blower Uses

They can be used for more than just leaves. I have used mine for so many things.

I opted for a gas powered one, over electric, because of the portability. I can run all over the place and not have to worry about wires. They are a little louder and smellier, but the portability our weighs everything.

Some uses I have found.

Sweep out the garage. Just blow out the garage as you would the drive way. Fast, simple and usually does better than a broom.

Clean out dryer vent - We have a long hose that runs from the back of the dryer to the side of the house. It needed cleaning. I just brought the blower inside, moved the dryer and stuck it in the vent. I just turned it on and ran it for a minute and put the dryer back. I went outside to check what had happened. There were lint pieces all over the yard that I had to pick up. Success.

Car dryer - After you finish washing your car and it it still wet, just blow off the drips. This will help prevent spots.

Scaring my daughter - enough said, my wife might read this.

Cleaning out the inside of a vehicle - I had some mud, dog hair, and trash inside my truck. Opened both doors and here we go. I was really impressed with the job that it did.

De-clumping the grass - if you are like me I usually wait too long to mow the grass. After I get done there are the clumps of grass. Just dissipate them into the grass with the blower. Better than raking.

Smoke screen - James Bond any one. Just take a handful of baking flour and sprinkle it into the fan part. Viola! Just do not use too much. Oh, I see your wheels turning.

There are so many options. Just use your imagination, and make your life easier.
