Pardon my iggerints, but is that a leaf blower or a leaf sucker? Ah ain't nevvir seed no leaf suckers, a'fore...

It's both!!!

You put the attachment on one end, and it blows, but if you put it on the other, it sucks.

The sucker part has blades in it that mulch the leaves and deposits the mulch in a bag that you carry on your shoulder.

That's freakin' wonderful! To further enhance one's own compost/mulch pile with the trimmings from one's own yard! Eeeee!!!

Yup, and oak leaves make excellent compost.

Well I will wait for the outcome, I have way to many oak trees, that poor lil tool would be having a coronary..LOL

Between the oaks, the sugar gum (which leave nasty spiny lil round sharp balls) every wheres (and those we pick up because of the dogs ) and the femosa trees, I would never get out of the yard..

I have said item. Leaf sucker to blower in 3 no wait, 5 well, crap 10 minutes and if you suck up cactus barbs with make that 15 and leather gloves required minutes.

I like to blow my rock garden debris in to the street on a windy day so I don't have to sweep it up. My neighbors on onto my trick but they live down wind so get over it you downwind IRS refugee types.

I sucked up some cactus barbs with, not the big ones that make you bleed but the little ones that are as fine as fiberglass only they make you really red and they itch like jungle rot ...

Yeah, liking that I am ....
