Cordless leaf blower

[DaFishFR3]

We carry the Milwaukee M12 leaf blower for clearing the roof/slide toppers as well as around the camp site. it works well and has enough power to do the job. It is not going to clear the front lawn in the fall however. We also carry several of the other M12 tools aboard and are able to use the same batteries for all - such as the cordless vacuum, a portable fan (for the dog in his bike cart-Burley Bark Ranger XL), drill, impact driver, 1/2 impact gun (tire changes) and most important is the Mrs. heated vest for cooler evenings.

You should check out the Milwaukee M12 tire inflator. https://a.co/d/fgzJovt I have the M18 version and love it, can’t vouch for the 12 volt version but the 18 volt version is awesome!!! https://a.co/d/bVfzNcK
I use the Milwaukee M18 leaf blower at home and on the road! https://a.co/d/jiHd5S6

Ryobi gets my vote because the same battery can power a lot of other tools

A lot of tool brands have started doing this.

Ryobi, Dewalt, Craftsman, Makita, Black & Decker, EGO, etc...

You just have to pick the brand you like best and stick with it.

There are many M12 tools left out of my original message (saw, sawzall, hammer drill, small impacts, etc), and the tire inflator is one of them that we do carry aboard.

Is is also awesome - makes quick work of the toad tires and the tires on the Class C that we had. I have not challenged it with the tires on the Class A yet, but I am sure it will be up for the challenge.

My Son is a Dewalt fan. Dewalt makes an adapter for their batteries that allows one to charge USB devices. He's on his phone for hours at a time while working and just plugs in to one of the many batteries he carries to make sure he doesn't run out of phone power.

I would imagine others might have the same option. Having ONE battery type for all power needs is great.

I use this one. It is one of their least powerful models but it still has more power than the B&D corded one that it replaced. It moves wet, sodden leaves easily and has no problem with the 3/4 minus rock from the drive. One battery charge is usually enough for me to clear the leaves from my 1/2 acre property. On RV trips I use it to clean the campsite (when needed), the fire pit (if needed - - in the forest around here they will often be full of leaves), the awning and slide tops when retracting. Love it.

I didn't see in the thread that some avid campers use a portable leaf blower to start their campfires too!

Camping friends of ours have a small handheld that they bought on Amazon for like $30. Camping near Ithaca, NY in November it did a great job of blowing away all the leaves around their campsite. Made me think of getting one, but on second thought I reconsidered because "what else" am I going to store in the camper?

For Christmas, my brother bought me a B & D cordless tree trimmer with extensions up to 13' to carry in the camper to trim branches around campsites. Not sure if I'm going to pack that this camping season either although I can see its uses.

A leaf blower will make a campfire roar! Lol. I've been known to do it to a smoke bomb fire.

What a wonderful sound to hear at 6:30 in the morning when the people next site over are packing up to leave.

That would be a rude camper. Nothing to do with this thread. Rude campers are rude campers. Idle the Diesel engine at 6am, or lots of other ways to make noise and irritate neighbors. They are everywhere and have lots of ammunition besides a leaf blower.

All of my yard tools, blower, string trimmer, pole saw, and chain saw are Greenworks 40V implements. Very pleased with the performance. All use the same type and size battery.

X2 on the Green Works, but the one I have might be a little large for traveling. I might prefer a compact model for blowing off the slides and such.

Years ago when DeWalt came out with their 18-volt 4 tool pack (Drill, Sawzall, skill saw, and flashlight with plastic carry case, not the bags you get now) my boss bought one for me for some extra work I did for him on the side. All 4 tools still work and I use the heck out of them. Replaced the batteries many times. Then they came out with the 20-volt max. Needed new tools I bought those. They came out with an adapter from 20 volts to 18 volts and I bought 2 of them so I can use any of my tools with the lithium batteries. Well, my 18-volt porta band won't take the adapter so I still keep 2 18-volt batteries for it.
Now if i can convince DW I need to move to the newer 40 volt tools. ️

What battery tools do you have now?

[Thomas ho]

i like Worx. batteries interchange. i-net deals are great.

I recently bought a 10 piece Dewalt 20v Flex set . Love it with interchangeable batteries. Then I bought a leaf blower and trimmer and added the inflater. That works great for tires, inflatable toys everything. Then I splurged and got the impact wrench. If I get a flat it will make quick work out of a tire change .
Love my Dewalt tools.

I have a Black and Decker 20volt blower that i bought at lowes just for using when camping its light weigh and small but lot of power. and it was cheap. Also the battery is inter changeable for use in my hedge trimmer. Later RJD

I have a collection of Dewalt 20V tools, including the jobsite blower (see link below). I use it for camping and home. It's good fro inflating water toys, air matresses etc.
I'm very happy with it.

Bad experiences with cordless anything before lithium. Comes down to how long of time you need peak power to do the job. Then a charged backup is a must. Still on a fence between corded /gas and cordless. Corded and gas won't leave you stranded mid job, PO's many times.

I use the little 20v black-and-decker. It was about $100 a few years ago. May be others that are cheaper now.
