Seeing how some very particular relatives are, I wonder if much of the gas leaf blower cloud is less “watch me stick it to the libs” and more “look at me, I’m cleaning my yard, that makes me better than you”
And by “cleaning my yard” they really mean “blowing whatever I consider a mess onto whatever is beside my yard, or in the general vicinity for the dust”.
I use things that work (even if you find them loud or annoying) because typically over engineered things (like the ‘quiet’ leafblower) are most likely very problematic and will fail. I just do not trust anything new anymore. Companies did this and forced me to stop caring about ‘innovation’ with their constant lies and fraud.
No we obviously need more cheap plastics and shitty rubber grips that will turn to sticky goo in five years, as well as control circuitry with a dozen corners cut.
Hey, don’t diss Fisher Price toys. The old ones from 40+ years ago were solid. So much so that the iconic telephone on wheels and with eyes is still around.
Leafblowers are used to collect it into a pile which is then raked/shoveled into a bin. The blower is much faster and less effort than the rake at collecting everything into the pile.
Cue right wingers protesting the new “woke” leaf blowers.
No, they’ve moved on to “DEI” as their racist dogwhistle now. Keep up.
Coming soon: The all new, all American, COAL powered leaf blower.
Now with a slide whistle and megaphone attachments for extra annoying noises.

Whistle goes, “Woo, woo,” but that’s only in the mo’ning.

I’ll let my gas powered leaf blower running all day now to make your woke blower useless. Get owned, sucker
There certainly are plenty of people who use those things because they enjoy being obnoxious twats.

The same kind of morons rolling coal and destroying their engines.
I instantly imagined someone rolling coal with their leaf blower… you know it’s going to happen, even if they’re not diesel.

Modern day crap though? Oh I’m with you!
Maybe the garbage brands. Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, etc are very well made, and significantly more powerful than they were 5-10 years ago.
Yeah, I figure that’s the kind of thing they’re going to say.
Blowing leaves around instead of removing it, isn’t ideal then.

No, that’s what a rake does.
Everyone I see using them merely uses it to blow the detritus into the street. What you’re saying makes a lot of sense, but people don’t do that
Do you think a leaf BLOWER sucks leaves up or does anything but blow them wherever you point the machine?
Your thinking of a leaf vacuum which the article is NOT referring too…
What was the point of your reply, I really don’t get it…
This is very true. I just know my neighbour wouldn’t choose a quieter option if he had the chance
Blowing coal lel
Cue the left-wingers being rage-baited about the right wingers protesting the new “woke” leaf blowers.
All the while the leaf blower manufacturer is getting free publicity.
