Hitachi RB24EAP Handheld Gas Blower
I had high expectations before trying out the Hitachi RB24EAP handheld blower. Just a few months earlier I had used a piece of Hitachi lawn equipment for the first time. The unit I used was the CG22EASSLP grass trimmer and I came away impressed. It more than exceeded my expectations with its power and ease of use. So I was … Continue reading
Toro 51599 Electric Blower Vac Review
When I first started reviewing leaf blowers, I quickly realized that there was one model that I definitely needed to write about: the Toro 51599 leaf blower. It not only was the best seller on Amazon, but it had also been in their list of top 100 outdoor power tools for close to 5 years running. I wanted to find … Continue reading
Makita BUB182Z LXT Lithium-Ion Review
I came across the Makita BUB182Z cordless blower while visiting my brother at a job site last week. He’s a carpenter who builds houses. I was accustomed to seeing plenty of rechargeable Makita tools around their jobs before, but I had never seen the blower. At first I thought it was a toy. It was so small and lightweight. It … Continue reading

The Black & Decker NS118 cordless broom is another member of the popular rechargeable battery powered tools by B&D.

Worx Trivac WG500 All-In-One Blower / Vac Review
I was a bit skeptical before deciding to try out the Worx TriVac WG500. I had used the Worx GT weed eater a few months before and, needless to say, I came away less than impressed. However, since the blower was receiving some adequate reviews online, I wanted to give the company another chance to validate themselves. One thing the … Continue reading

The Black And Decker LH5000 Leaf Hog is the company’s latest entry into the ever popular 3 in 1 blower/vacuum/mulcher market.

Worx Air WG541 Cordless Leaf Blower
Like most of the Worx lawn tools, the premise behind the Worx Air WG541 is a good one: create a lightweight, battery powered leaf blower that costs under $100. Provide it with an ergonomic design and make it quick and easy to charge. Sounds good right? Unfortunately, like with some of the other Worx lawn equipment I have used in … Continue reading
Husqvarna 125BVx Gas Leaf Blower / Vac Review
The Husqvarna 125BVx is a combo blower/vacuum unit that is designed for both homeowners and landscape professionals. It is gas powered, as opposed to electric like most of the other combo units on the market. That means there are no cords to contend with, but it also has a higher price tag than most electric models. These lawn tools that … Continue reading

Weed Eater FB25 Gas Leaf Blower Review
Air speed up to 170 mph? That was my initial thought while compiling research on the Weed Eater FB25 leaf blower. The reason I found this surprising is that it is the same air speed of the Hitachi RB24EAP, my top-ranked handheld, gas leaf blower. And, the FB25 blower is priced $45 cheaper than the Hitachi. That was enough to … Continue reading
