Preferred Leaf Blower?

Nissanboy · 03-09-2011, 08:05 PM

Which type of leaf blowers do y'all recommend for drying your car(s)?

Is this a good one? Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

Yes, any electric leaf blower is fine.
I have a cordless Black&Decker, it costs a little more, but I like the cordless aspect.

Alrighty, thanks!

I think the cheapest one you can get that works. Goal is to save cash.

You know, if you want to get it done and get it done cheap, I couldn't agree with you guys more. However, I went and damned myself. I got one of those Metro Blasters because I wanted to see if they were any better than a leaf blower. I mean honestly, the thing just blows air just like a leaf blower (albeit warm air). It surely can't be over $200 better than your standard leaf blower right?

Man was I ever wrong.

That thing is DA' BOMB!!! Dayum! That thing blows like nobody's business!!! I'm going to do a video but wow! The Metro Blaster kicks major butt!

I agree with Junkman. I use it after every wash and it gets the job done. Packs a punch for a little 1.3 HP motor and also blows warm, filtered air.

I got the big one! The one that is 4.0 + 4.0! You can ride that thing across the garage!

Oh snap. Well I'm sure you can still do the same with the Metro Blaster Sidekick!

Thats the idea

I use an electric leaf blower to take snow off the car also. Air is slightly warmer so it just fly's off. Works like a charm. Any leaf blower will do.
