Leaf blowers are a good way to clean patios and porches as well as remove leaves and trash from the lawn. Leaf blowers are especially handy in many areas. In places where raking would be difficult, such as driveways and sidewalks, a leaf blower is effective at removing leaves, pine needles, and other debris. Dirty construction equipment can be dusted off and gutters can be cleaned out with a good blast of air. You can even use them on snow to clear a path to your front door. Be sure to stay away from cement dust or plaster residue.
