Who's using a battery leaf blower?

Considering using a battery powered leaf blower to dry the car after washing, looking for something around 150 mph 150 cfm.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

DeWALT DCE100
20V MAX* Lithium Handheld Blower
Fantastic little blower, plus it inflates/deflates tubes (for tubing the river)!

But get the double size battery. Obviously it cost a little more but you will thank me again.

Get the impact driver at the same time. Good for changing wheels.

I also have one of these; convenient but doesn’t have the power of the Stihl gas blower. Some people say it’s not a real leaf blower unless it has a gas engine...

I have the Ryobi 40 Volt Leaf Blower and it works great for Leafs, Drying the Car, and for those that dont know.... BEST WAY TO VACUUM YOUR CAR EVER.


Been using a leaf blower forever on my car interiors. Open all doors, remove anything not tied down, and blow that sucker spotless

Black and Decker 20Volt leaf blower works great, I use it without the extension.
