LAWN POWER BLOWERS

The expensive gas powered "backpack" types you see lawncutting landscapers using to perform lawn care services are not much more powerful than hand-held gas powered models. Unless you have a large yard to sweep there is really not much of a reason to purchase the backpack type power-blower. Both types are noisy anyway..

Incidentally, consider buying lawn tools after July 4th when prices start to come down.
