I use the right tool for the right job. I use my battery Milwaukee blower for small quick jobs like blowing off the deck, or the boat, or the walkway after I mow. I use the big gas backpack blower for blowing my leaves in the fall. The Milwaukee would die long before I was done blowing all the leaves!

For the Milwaukee, you could use the Forge with a portable extension if you have a hand-held blower.

We do the same. Redmax 8500 Gas Backpack and a Wright ZTO for grass/ leaves. We have replaced all our small tools, like weed trimmer, hedge shears, hand held blower, and small rototiller with Greenworks Commercial (82V) stuff.

For snow, we are gas or diesel- Kubota L3430 with front blower and a tank like 30 year old Toro 824 (8HP Tecumseh powered)... and a trusty old shovel!

Nothing like the old Tecumseh motors! So simple to work on or fix and bulletproof!! I have an old log splitter with a 10 HP Tecumseh that is 40 years old. What a workhorse!!

Hope all is well John!
