Craftsman B215 25cc 2-Cycle Handheld Gas-Powered Leaf Blower

This tool does exactly as intended and starts on 1 to 3 pulls every time to this day after over a year of owning it. Very good tool for the money.

My husband love this! Works fantastically for all of our leaf blowing needs! My husband was actually disappointed when he was finished with this for the season…the first time in the history of ever!

I've had a few blowers but this one is as good as the big name brands at a much higher cost. Cut my leaf blowing and cleanup times in half. If you need more power you need a backpack blower. This is top shelf for a handheld. Only drawback it takes 4 pulls to start but it always has started and the speed control is nice to use. Very smooth thanks to full shaft.

moderate weight and has great blowing power. exactly what I needed.

I can't comment on the longevity, because I just got it. After my first couple uses, I am thrilled. With the blower, I had a lot of control. Between control of the power and the tip attachment, I could be very precise in blowing where I want to (better than my last blower; you wouldn't think there would be that much difference, but there is). It is powerful also; I can blow stuff from six feet away that with my old blower I had to get three feet away (some of that may be the tip that goes on this blower focuses the blast). The vacuum is even better than I expected. The vacuum picked up more leaves than I could have gotten with my hands and less rocks. The vacuum also picks up very quickly. It probably took a third of the time it would have taken picking up leaves by hand.Switching attachments and switching from blower to vacuum was pretty quick the second time, after spending a while learning how to do it the first time. There is one part I'm concerned about. When you put the plastic vacuum attachment on, it locks into place. To unlock it, you need to turn this little screw with a screw driver. That screw is made of plastic. I have only unlocked it a few times and the screwdriver is already starting to chew up that plastic nut. I really hope you can replace just the nut, or that one little piece may make the whole machine trash.I think it's pretty efficient on gas. I used the blower and vacuum on full blast for about 15 minutes and only used a couple ounces of gas.I would definitely say, read the instructions, even if you have used a blower before. There are one or two things that are different, and definitely some tips in there that were helpful.
