    Too bad no one invented rakes yet.

      You ever tied using a metal rack on pavement? It’s about as pleasant as nails on a chalkboard.

      This is like comparing sweeping to a proper vacuum cleaner

        Kinda, although recent vacuum cleaners are way less noisier than gas-powered leaf-blowers.

      Jackhammers are so loud, haven’t they heard of a hammer yet? I am very smart btw.

        Jackhammer and a hammer are not doing the same job. Pickaxe is more akin to a jackhammer.

        What do leaf blowers do that rakes don’t? I don’t remember the last time I saw or heard a leaf blower.
