Don not sure if it would help enough but my neighbor bought a new shop vac and it doubles as a leaf blower. The attachment comes off.

Another reason to buy a shop vac.

Home Depot had em on sale

Echo PB 500T. Backpack. Got it at HD. Even my buddy who is a landscraper was impressed. It is a beast. Only downside is I am a lefty, but they are ALL righthanded.

If my wife could blow like this I would stay home instead of fishing.

Am a landscaper and only own stihl an echo's my experience for what I do stay away from home depot and lowes. My Stihl blows the echo out of the water but had the echo for 10 years now and still runs.

Look at the Tanaka backpack leaf blowers, they used to make the engines for the old Ted William outboards for Sears. I have had one for five years and it always starts right up every year and does an incredible job. My yard used to take me a month of weekends to clean up, now I am done in a weekend. Not as popular as some of the other brand names so you can sometimes get a deal on the bay, I snapped my mine up brand new for half the suggested retail. Best timesaving tool I ever bought. Good luck! :uhuh:
