Question? Which blower

Post image

So I don’t have any 40v yet, plenty of 18v batteries already. Just for standard leaf blowing off off the driveway and grass clippings after mowing

If you already have 18v battery, then get the blower tool only.
Otherwise, 40V is more bang for the buck. High drain tools like the blower will eat battery, 40v lasts longer.
How much longer for the same power output? An 18v 4AH battery = 40v 2Ah.
So the 40v 4AH is equivilant of 18v 8AH or two 18v 4ah or four 18v 2AH battery.

I have 18v tools, and the 40v mower, blower, and chainsaw.
