Which Leaf Blower for Drying?
I'm gonna pick up a leaf blower and just wondering what you guys recommend.
Is there a certain MPH I need to stay above?
Any other specifics I should look for or avoid?

I use a 7.5 amp Craftsman, and it does a great job. Some of the other guys use a 12 amp and like them.
'Cause there's just something women like about a pickup man.

Don't spend your money on Leaf Blowers,just reverse your wet & dry vacuum,disconnect the hose from the front and plug in the back,it does the same thing the more powerful the vacuum the strong the blower will be,save money for other things.
Wash day tomorrow? Nothing clean, right?

Bought one at sears (not craftsman) and it was $35 150mph 7.5 amp. Works well. Junkman2000 uses it so its good enough for me. My shop vac only sucks...no blow.

I have a 7.5 amp Craftsman that does the job well, but sometimes wish I had the 12 amps with more power. If you can find one out there that has a round outlet and wand you can fashion an adapter that allows you to connect a vacuum hose and concentrator--- makes it much easier to get the air where you need it.

What about the dirt, dust, sand in the system?? Even if you clean it I can't imagine getting it all out.

I'll check out Sears, Lowes and HD. My vacuum won't let me use it as a blower.

I use a Homelite (Home Depot) 7 volt two speed 120/150mph blower ($30). For $40 you can get the Homelite 12 volt 150/220 which I have been tossing around upgrading to.
Wal-Mart sells a very similar two products for similar prices under the "Garden Pro" brand. I believe Garden Pro and Homelite are made by the same company.
Weed Eater also makes a similar combo of low priced blowers but I believe my Wal-Mart has switched from Weed Eater to Garden Pro.

Craftsman here. I have the 12 amp and it works awesome! Only around $50 too.
