Flex cordless blower
FLEX BW-18 Cordless Blower Complete Set
I know it's not shipping till Jan. But was just curious on any input on it. Guessing it's pretty loud? Quality?

Re: Flex cordless blower
Honestly, I picked up a Kobalt cordless leaf blower at Lowe's just over a year ago for $89 and love the thing. It's quiet, light and does the job just fine. I really don't see what I'm getting for an additional $200 + shipping.

Re: Flex cordless blower
I had similar thoughts when I saw the price. Many battery powered leave blowers offer tools which are smaller, yet still put out air in excess of 100+ MPH for round $60~$100 on a battery which will probably offer similar operating time. The only advantage I see this one would have is the attachments, but I don't know if I'd be willing to pay 2x more for the attachments.
I'm sure their polishers are fantastic machines, but this blower, like the others sold here seem to be priced really high for what they offer.

Re: Flex cordless blower
Looks grossly overpriced to me. A blower from Home Depot or Lowe’s plus a PFM towel is all you need
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Do you happen to have the model #? Thanks.

Agree. I bought an awesome Greenworks blower and matching hedge trimmer when they ran them on clearance for the season about two years back and they are fantastic for not much more plus I have two batteries.

Re: Flex cordless blower
I think the real advantage of this one is the rubber nozzle, I know HD used to sell a Makita (I think they used to sell it here, too) that had a rubber nozzle. Most of the leaf blowers are hard plastic and I'd hate to bump my car with that.

I simply wrapped a Microfiber Rag around the tip and secured it with Black Gorilla Tape. Just fold it so the fold overhangs the edge of the tube by 1/4-1/2" Clean, soft and done.

I think if I was going to do something like that it would be a piece of soft rubber hose rather than a MF towel.

Agree but I did it on Day one, it worked and simply left it.
