“Don’t toil with a simple hand tool that the wind may blow away! Spends hundreds of dollars on a noise machine to blow that shit all over yourself! Your ears, wallet, and neighbours will surely thank you.”
Eh, I got an electric leaf blower for $80 on sale for Father’s Day this year, just so that I could blow the leaves out from under my bushes and away from my foundation since I had ants in my house. It’s pretty quiet - far quieter than the gas lawn mowers my neighbors have running at all times of day - and gets leaves out of hard-to-reach places way better than a rake. Now the insects and I can coexist peacefully, and I get the benefits of fireflies in the summer without the drawback of ants in my house.
Fuck every 100+ decibal leaf blower. I can still hear the fucking things when I’m in my apartment with headphones on, and all the windows shut. They’ve literally given me panic attacks. And these people run them for HOURS.
Buy electric or let the stupid leaves sit on the ground, where they will decompose.

Okay, cool, thanks. I was just giving a recommendation that has been useful for me since I have a bad back. Asshole.

Yeah, I use an electric that’s quiet enough to not need ear pro
