Battery Powered Leaf Blower

[nelsonic]

Context:

We have a lot of leaves around our garden at this time of year 🍂
because there is a Maple tree on the street and when the wind blows hundreds of leaves fall 🍁 🙃

We already have an electric leaf blower but it's chorded. 🔌 😬
This means it's a hassle to setup and the extension lead is always in use by someone else ... ⏳ == 💸

The obvious solution to this is to have an automatic retracting electrical cable reel mounted outside
which the person doing the leaf blowing can easily unroll, use and then roll up again:

But this still adds a "setup" and "tidy" step to each time the person is going to perform the leaf-blowing task.
And limits us to only leaf-blowing to the length of the cable; in this case 10 metres;
so we'd need 2 of these reels to reach both ends of the garden.

Proposal:

Buy a battery-powered leaf blower:

We have a few Einhell Battery-powered tools e.g: #236 (comment)

There are cheaper second-hand options on AMZN:

The "Used Acceptable" one is fine for our purposes as I expect it to get scratched in use.
45,88 € is a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.

Doesn't come with a battery, but we have spares in the workshop from previous purchase.
i.e. we don't use the Auguer #236 at the same time as the Leaf Blower so sharing is OK.
If we decide we need more batteries they are much cheaper than Bosch or DeWalt:

If money was no object I'd get the DEWALT DCMBL562N: https://www.amazon.es/-/pt/dp/B08HY3VBF7

But I cannot justify spending double the cash on a tool that doesn't have double the functionality.
So just getting the Einhell one. ✅
Waiting for it to arrive. ⏳

Already dispatched: 📦

Again, €45,88 for a brushless motor leaf-blower is a total no-brainer! 🤯
Now we need to define the system for collecting the leaves that are blown. 💨 📝
