Purchasing a professional tool designed for use is justified only for large volumes of work.
Cheap analogues often do not have the necessary properties or are much less reliable.
Therefore, the manufacture of homemade devices for performing this type of work is gaining increasing popularity.
We'll focus the bulk of this article on blowers, but we'll also talk about other tools you can make yourself.
Combines both a vacuum cleaner and a blower general principle work - impeller rotating at high speed gives the air centrifugal acceleration, which is why a zone of high pressure appears at the outlet, and a zone of low pressure at the inlet. As the impeller speeds up, the difference in pressure at the inlet and outlet accelerates the air to high speeds.
On some models of leaf blowers or garden vacuum cleaners with this function, this parameter reaches the value 270 km/h or more. By changing the hose connection point, you can switch the operating mode of the device from a vacuum cleaner to a blower.
When operating in vacuum cleaner mode it is necessary to either separate any contaminants or remove only solid ones. In the first case collected leaves settle to the bottom of the filter bag without grinding.
The advantage of this method is that you can use the impeller from an old vacuum cleaner, however, at such speeds of rotation of this part, even a leaf from a tree that slips through the filter bag can damage the impeller.
In the second case, a durable impeller is installed, which not only withstands a collision with a leaf, but also effectively crushes it, due to which the volume of collected fallen leaves is reduced by 10–15 times.
Is it possible to make these devices yourself?
Such a device can be made with your own hands, however implement the grinding function quite at home difficult.
The fact is that it is necessary to maintain a balance between the speed of rotation of the impeller and the power of the engine, and therefore the mass of the entire installation.
After all needed so high speed impeller shaft rotation, in which the foliage is not only crushed, but also completely removed from the surface of the part due to centrifugal force.
To solve this problem, mass-produced garden vacuum cleaners use a complex-shaped impeller made of materials that can withstand enormous centrifugal loads.
Therefore, most often, homemade vacuum cleaners-leaf blowers cannot chop leaves, but increasing the volume of the bag and using devices designed for shredding grass and leaves solves this problem.
We have already talked about such devices in. In addition, when making a homemade vacuum cleaner, you have to choose a screening method leaves and other dirt.
The problem is that the most efficient cyclone filters take up a lot of space, and small mesh ones clog quickly.
In serial devices this the problem is solved using the grinding function, therefore, only the largest fragments that pose a danger to the impeller have to be screened out.
This problem will have to be solved when making a garden vacuum cleaner of any configuration, so many people first make a blower to hone their skills, and only after that they begin to develop a vacuum cleaner model.
Selecting a filter type
For garden vacuum cleaners use 3 types of filters:
- mesh;
- inertial;
- cyclones.
Strainer allows air and polluting particles whose size is less than a certain value to pass through.
Their can be done How from car air filters, So and made of durable fabric.
The disadvantage of filters of this type is that the speed of air movement at the inlet of the vacuum cleaner directly depends on the filling of the filter.
Therefore, it is not well suited for leaf removal due to its small internal volume.
The advantage of this filter is that no objects that could potentially damage the vacuum cleaner or its centrifugal pump will pass through it.
Operating principle inertial filter is that it is easier for air moving at the same speed as any solid fragments, including leaf litter, to change direction due to its lower density and mass.
Typically such a filter is container into which the inlet and outlet tubes are inserted, and inserted so that the air is first forced to sink to the bottom, then rise in a wide and slow flow to a high outlet. Moreover, the diameter of the outlet hole is much larger than the inlet hole.
As a result, the speed of the air flow at the inlet is much higher than the outlet, so it is no longer enough to lift solid fragments and move them to the outlet pipe.
The disadvantage of such filters is that filtration coefficient directly depends on size devices, therefore, for collecting fallen leaves, differing large sizes and low weight, you will need a device with a volume 50–100 l, not counting the size of the garbage container.
Cyclones work on the same principle as inertial filters, but higher efficiency in a smaller volume is achieved by rotating the waste in the hopper.
Input stream containing various pollution, enters a round container so that it then gradually lowers and moves along the wall.
This leads to the appearance of centrifugal force, which increases the efficiency of the device.
Due to this, for effective removal and various small debris a volume of 10–20 l is enough excluding the container for collecting leaves.
Engine selection
For efficient leaf removal a power of 2–4 liters is required. With. or 1.5–3 kW. This power is enough to create the required speed in a pipe with a diameter of 50 mm. You can use a pipe with a smaller diameter only if the device will only operate in blower mode, because a smaller pipe diameter will be an obstacle to the movement of large leaves.
If you use only the blower function, the power can be reduced by 1.5–3 times, because the air flow does not have to push leaf litter inside a relatively thin pipe.
For a homemade vacuum cleaner or blower can be installed the following types motors:
- electrical network;
- electric battery;
- petrol.
Electrical network the motor has minimal weight, but when working with such a device you will have to carry an extension cord with you. Electric battery The motor is not only heavier due to the battery, but also noticeably more expensive than a mains or gasoline engine.
In addition, it is much more difficult to obtain, because other models of motors can be removed from various broken or decommissioned equipment.
Petrol The motor is completely autonomous, so devices equipped with it can be used away from power sources.
However, he noticeably heavier electric, and also much larger. When working he makes a pretty loud sound, so it is advisable to use headphones.
All motors that are installed on garden vacuum cleaners are equipped with an air ventilation system, so it is necessary to take into account the strong heating of some of its parts.
During assembly homemade equipment it is necessary to take into account the ratio of torque and engine speed and, if necessary, use gear or belt drives to eliminate imbalance. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the larger dimensions of the gasoline engine and the direction of its exhaust.
Thematic forums
To make a normal garden vacuum cleaner with your own hands without unnecessarily complicating the design, you need to carefully familiarize yourself with the existing models of homemade devices. Moreover, these can be not only garden vacuum cleaners, but also any other vacuum cleaners.
We have prepared List of forums, where users discuss various configurations of homemade devices and share their experience in their manufacture and use:
Making a device for collecting leaves from a regular vacuum cleaner
This is the easiest way to make a homemade device, because a commercial vacuum cleaner creates the necessary pressure difference and gives the air the necessary acceleration.
That's why just connect to him inertia or cyclone filter with container for foliage and you can start cleaning the area. Wherein it is advisable to use vacuum cleaners with a motor power of 1.5 kW or more.
As cyclone filter You can use both plumbing PVC pipes with a diameter of 200–500 mm and a plastic barrel.
Wherein it is necessary to make the structure collapsible so that the filter can be detached from storage capacity. Most convenient plastic barrel with a capacity of 50–100 liters with a hermetically sealed lid as a storage tank and a filter made from plumbing pipes. This design can be installed on a wheelbarrow or cart, and a vacuum cleaner can be mounted next to it.
You will also need:
- plug for the pipe - filter housing;
- several 50 mm pipes with seals;
- hot glue gun;
- hand jigsaw or soldering iron attachment for cutting;
- additional hoses for the vacuum cleaner.
Making a cyclone filter
Here's the optimal one procedure:
- Cut a piece 50 cm long from a plastic pipe with a diameter of 200–500 mm; this will be the cyclone body; measure the distance from the edge with the rubber seal.
- From a pipe with a diameter of 50 mm, cut a piece 15 cm long, also measure the distance from the edge with the seal, this will be the inlet pipe.
- Shape the cut edge of the inlet pipe so that it fits tightly to the cyclone body, and also cut a hole in the filter housing to insert a pipe into it.
- Insert the pipe and commit/ seal it using hot melt glue as shown in the picture. Do not skimp on hot-melt adhesive, because even a small gap or inconspicuous hole will reduce the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner.
- Make a hole in the center of the plug for the pipe with a diameter of 50 mm, this will be the outlet pipe, then cut a piece of such a pipe (measure the distance from the edge with the sealing rubber band) 10 cm long and insert it into the plug.
- Secure and seal the joint using a heat gun.
- Make sure that the lid closes on a container for collecting leaves hermetically sealed, otherwise, restore the seal after replacing the lid or replace the lid/container.
- Cut a hole in the lid according to the diameter of the body, and also cut out 3-4 triangular amplifiers.
- Insert the cyclone into the lid so that the body passes through it by 5 cm and attach it using a heat gun.
- Install around the cyclone body amplifiers and attach them to both the filter housing and the lid, then seal the joint with glue.
- Place the lid on the leaf container, then insert a hose into the outlet pipe and connect it to the inlet vacuum cleaner. Insert a leaf hose into the inlet.
- Plug in the vacuum cleaner and check your work the entire device.
- If you are not sure that you will be able to determine the filling of the container in time, then cut a long vertical strip in it and glue a strip of plexiglass there.
How to make a mesh filter?
For those who think that making a cyclone filter is a complex and difficult process, would be better suited mesh filter based on a fabric bag.
The basis of such a filter is plastic container with a hermetically sealed lid, inside which a purchased or homemade bag is inserted.
The dimensions of such a filter directly depend on the size of the bag, because the latter, being filled with air, must either fit snugly against the walls of the housing or be slightly short of them.
If, however, a filter element is used car air filters, That minimum distance between them and the body is 1 cm.
For a garden vacuum cleaner, a filter with a bag is better suited, because it is easier to manufacture and has a much larger usable volume than the option with one or more cartridges from a car air filter.
It is most convenient to use for making this device plastic sewer pipe with a diameter of 40–50 cm, although you can use any plastic container with a hermetically sealed lid.
The best results are achieved by a design in the form of a horizontally laid cylinder with a bag inside. Moreover, the size of the filled bag should be 1–2 cm less than the inner diameter of the filter.
The inlet pipe is made from a sewer plastic pipe with a diameter of 50 mm, and to seal the bag tightly, install adapters with a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the bag. Moreover, the inlet pipe, adapter and filled bag must freely exit the filter housing.
To do this, cut a piece from a plastic sewer pipe of suitable diameter, the length of which is slightly less than the length of the bag, and a rubber seal should be located on one side.
Then they take plugs of suitable diameter and to one the inlet pipe with an adapter for attaching the bag is glued, and to the other the outlet pipe.
To prevent the bag from jumping off the adapter, glue the side of the seal cut from the same pipe, and a rope is inserted into the bag, which will fix the filter element to the adapter.
To do this, it is enough to tie it with any knot suitable for quick untying. After the bag is filled (this will be indicated by a decrease in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner), the front plug is pulled out and, by untying the rope, the bag is removed from it, which after emptying can be installed back.
To prevent air leakage, it is advisable to do everything before assembling the filter lubricate with medical glycerin.
It will not harm the rubber or the bag, but will greatly increase the tightness of the connection.
In addition, before each autumn season it is necessary to feel rubber seals. If they become hard, then they need to be replaced, because hardened rubber already cannot provide the required level of sealing.
How to make a bag?
To create a bag, it is advisable to use spunbond with a density of 30–50 g/m2. Due to the large area of the bag, the specific speed of air movement, and therefore the pressure on it, will be low even when used with centrifugal fans with a power of 2–3 kW.
The shape of the bag depends on the shape of the body, so For a filter from a sewer pipe, a cylinder shape is best suited. Any novice seamstress can make a pattern of parts, who will then connect all the parts and stitch them on a regular machine.
Spunbond can be purchased at any hardware store or garden store, where it is offered as a covering () material. They cut it with ordinary tailor's scissors, and any sewing machine. To increase strength, the seams can be wrapped with a strip of calico fabric before stitching.
Blower manufacturing
The main part of this device is centrifugal fan, which you can either make yourself or remove from some equipment.
Main problem, which occurs when self-production such a fan associated with insufficient balancing of the impeller on the engine shaft, which causes vibrations that reduce the air flow speed and destroy the motor bearings. In this case, engine power is not particularly important; there are cases when a blower was made with a motor from a DVD drive.
Nevertheless, It is undesirable to use motors whose power is below 500 W.
After all, when cleaning a garden or clearing a vegetable garden of fallen leaves, you have to not only blow away single leaves, for which the main thing is the speed of the air flow, but also create a wide jet that can move large masses of leaves.
Therefore it is advisable use impeller and volute removed from the old one vacuum cleaner. Such an impeller wheel can withstand the speed and torque necessary to create a sufficiently wide and fast jet, and also does not require balancing, because the shape of the fastening eliminates the incorrect position of the impeller.
Can be used as air ducts plastic water or sewer pipes suitable diameter. They have a small mass, and their connection does not cause problems.
Joints of air duct parts from sewer pipes must first be sealed with hot glue, then reinforced with tape, this will keep them from spreading if the nozzle is too close to the ground.
To increase the air flow speed, the edge of the duct farthest from the fan can be slightly flattened.
Other homemade tools
Majority homemade instruments for cleaning leaves are analogues of mass-produced devices, so below we will talk about the most popular and useful of them.
Bag loading attachment
This device can be made from various materials, because his main task is to constantly keep the bag in open state. The nozzle is U-shaped box, the dimensions of which are 1–2 cm smaller than the size of the bag. When it is inserted into the bag, it forms a large window together with it, thanks to which the leaves can be raked directly into the lying bag.
If you make a nozzle funnel-shaped, then to load the bag it will be enough to fill it with collected leaves, then lift it and place it vertically, due to which the entire mass of leaves will slide into the bag under its own weight.
Trailer for walk-behind tractor
This device will be useful during transportation collected leaves to the boundaries of the site or disposal site, For example, compost pit or a pyrolysis gas generator that converts leaf litter into flammable gas. In addition, the trailer can also be used to transport a garden vacuum cleaner.
Wire rake
Unlike conventional rakes, this device is much more less traumatic grass cover , and also facilitates the collection of foliage in hard to reach places. They can be made from ordinary galvanized wire, using ready-made analogues as a basis.
Transport cloth
This is a piece of dense fabric, to which a comfortable handle is sewn at each corner. Such a canvas is used to move collected heaps over short distances, from where all the material will then be transported to the disposal site.
The optimal size depends on the number of workers - the larger the canvas, the more leaf litter you can drag at one time, but the more people will be required for this.
Therefore, in most cases, the length and width of such a device fit into no more than 2–3 m.
Net
This device is laid out in the place where leaves are collected and filled with a rake or blower, adding a pile of leaf litter. Then the rope is pulled, and the net covers all the collected material, so that when dragged to another place, the foliage will not fall out of it.
After reaching its destination, the rope is first loosened and then completely released, revealing the net and removing the collected material from it.

Many things that seem unnecessary to us can actually be used in the household. You just have to set yourself the goal of realizing an incredible idea, and the solution may come on its own. And the resulting creation will forever be remembered for the exciting moments of creativity in the home workshop.
And how can we not remember about cleaning, because this event sometimes cancels out all creative impulses. Putting order and cleanliness around you and the world around you is very important, but not always pleasant. But there is a way out, and we will show it to you today.
Remove leaves from paths, garbage from the site or other unnecessary things - you can do anything with it! And most importantly, with such a device, any cleaning will turn into a pleasant, and certainly not boring, pastime.
Materials-tools
- CD/DVD box;
- Switch button;
- 5.5 mm connector for power supply;
- Empty metal deodorant bottle;
- Liter plastic bottle (PET);
- Cover from plastic bottle;
- A 25 mm piece of PVC pipe;
- Hot glue gun, soldering iron;
- Paint knife, scissors, marker, ruler and small hacksaw.
Let's start making the blower
First, prepare an empty disc box. It needs to dismantle the cylindrical axis. We cut it with a heated blade of a painting knife and break it by hand.
Let's take the engine direct current to 12 V, and connect to it a switch button with a connector for the power supply as shown in the photo.
We fix the engine with back side platforms for disks on hot glue. We carefully glue the body around the entire circumference.
The next step will be cutting a liter plastic bottle (PET). We measure 6 cm from the bottom of the bottle, and cut off a small cap with a paint knife. We won't need the rest of the bottle.
Next, we make several holes from the bottom in this cap. They are needed for the switch and charging socket. Attach with hot glue with inside cap button-switch and connector for power supply.
Apply hot glue to the outer edge of the cap and glue it to the back of the disk platform.
We will prepare impeller blades from an empty metal deodorant bottle. Using a hacksaw, we cut off the bottom and neck of the bottle, and cut the body lengthwise with ordinary scissors.
We level the resulting piece of tin manually and begin marking. Using a marker and a ruler, draw the sheet into eight rectangles with dimensions of 30x55 mm. We cut them out with scissors, biting off the corners on one side of each blade.
We use a plastic bottle cap as a hub. We divide it into eight identical parts with four diagonals. We lower the extreme marking points onto the ribs.
We make a small hole in the center of the hub cover for the motor shaft. We cut the ribs according to the markings with a hacksaw or knife.
We assemble the impeller by inserting the blades into the slots in the cover and placing them on hot glue. We additionally glue the center of the impeller, and then give the blades a slight tilt by bending them manually. This is necessary to provide greater air flow output.
We make the outlet air duct from a 25 mm piece of plastic pipe. The circumference of the disc box cover will serve as a template for the air duct.
We mark it with a marker and cut it with a hacksaw. We trim the joint with a paint knife.
A very powerful blower that produces a good air flow that can easily blow out any dust from the computer system unit. Such high power achieved optimal design installation, using a powerful and high-speed engine, and an energy-intensive battery from a screwdriver.
A leaf blower can find a variety of uses at home and in your workshop. I have already shown you one.
Its big plus is its mobility, since everything works without a network and anywhere.
The operating principle of the turbine is centrifugal.
Needed for production
- Plexiglass.
- PVC pipes: one large diameter pipe, which is used for sewerage. And one of small diameter, like for a water pipe.
- , which can be purchased at .
- Battery from a screwdriver.
- Switch.
- Secondary glue.
Making a Powerful Blower
Cut the ring from the large pipe.
Place it on a sheet of plexiglass and trace it.
Using a ballerina type drill, cut out two circles from plexiglass. Just not the same diameter, 2 cm larger.
The end result is this kit for assembling the case.
We mark both round pieces and drill holes at distances from the edge of about 0.5 cm.
In one of the round pieces we drill a hole for the engine.
Cut a small piece of pipe. This will be the air intake.
We drill a hole under it in the second round piece.
Let's try it on for now.
Next we take a piece PVC pipes 15-20 cm long and cut it off on one side with a round nozzle to make a tight fit to the body ring.
Apply it to the ring and circle it.
We make a hole in the ring for the pipe. First we drill with a round nozzle. And then we use a file to give it an oval shape, under the adjacent pipe.
Glue it with superglue. This will be the air outlet.
We paint all the parts.
The body is ready. Let's move on to making the impeller.
To do this, cut out round pieces of smaller diameters from the canister.
We saw off the tube from the body of the ballpoint pen and glue it into the center of one circle with second-time glue.
In the second circle we make a hole for air intake.
The blades are made from PVC pipe. Cut rings of equal thickness.
Cut into semicircles.
The impeller assembly kit is ready.
But before we begin assembly, we will make a semicircular cut in each blade.
Glue the blades.
Glue the second circle on top.
Now we assemble the entire turbine together. Remove the protective layer from the plexiglass. We glue the air intake tube into one round piece.
On the other side we fasten the engine.
Eventually:
To put the impeller on the motor shaft, I used a cable braid of a suitable size.
I cut it to the required length and put on the impeller.
Next, we assemble the entire body together.
We fix it with long bolts and nuts.
Each summer resident is faced with a large amount of garbage on his site. There is especially a lot of it in the fall, when it’s time for leaves to fall, and also in the spring, when it is necessary to remove the garbage that has accumulated over several months.
The most acute problem with cleaning arises among those who have a large number of fruit trees and berry growers. It’s good to enjoy ripe and juicy fruits, but few people enjoy removing their leaves in the autumn and spring months. Recently, it appears in specialized stores modern technology, which helps summer residents with gardening work. Among such equipment there are also blowers. What pleases summer residents most is cleaning leaves with a leaf blower.
Blower
A leaf blower is a tool that performs the same function as a regular rake, broom or broom. Using air, she blows out the leaves and ultimately clears the plantations of fallen leaves and even small twigs. Some modifications of such tools also have the function of sucking debris into special bags.
What types of blowers are there based on the operating principle of the engine?
Currently, the manufacturer produces two types of blowers: with an electric motor and with a gasoline motor.
In respect of environmental safety Of course, an electric blower is best suited. Unlike gasoline, it does not emit into the atmosphere harmful substances, which are formed during fuel combustion. This device works in two modes - blowing and garden vacuum cleaner. Using the latter mode, you can easily clear the area of the site from small debris, and the blowing mode will help get rid of foliage. This blower also has a shredder, which in turn helps clear the garden of larger branches. However, an electric garden blower also has a very obvious drawback - it is tied to a power source and cannot work without electricity, which makes its use in large gardens problematic. In addition, this invention is not recommended for use when high humidity air.
Better electric blower
The petrol garden vacuum cleaner has gained much more popularity than its electric competitor. This is explained by the fact that its operation does not require electricity, and therefore it can be used even in the farthest corners of the garden and in industrial gardens, which sometimes spread over several tens or even hundreds of hectares. A gasoline leaf blower requires a small amount of gasoline to operate.
Important! This type of blower is also relatively lightweight - the average weight of such tools is about three to four kilograms. That is why even several hours of working with it will not cause severe fatigue. Gardeners also appreciate the speed of such garden vacuum cleaners. On average it is 53-55 meters per second.
Blower operating modes
A standard leaf blower can operate in three modes: direct blower, garden vacuum and shredder.
The blower mode is so that the tool can collect fallen leaves and other small debris on the site into one pile. During operation of the tool, a large air flow occurs, which collects all unnecessary debris in one place. At the same time, the summer resident can control the air masses himself and thus concentrate the garbage in the place it needs. Most often, this mode is used in autumn for fallen leaves.
The second operating mode of such a tool is the garden vacuum cleaner mode.
The second operating mode of such a tool is the garden vacuum cleaner mode. This function is also available on all types of blowers. Its operation process is similar to that of a regular home vacuum cleaner. During operation, debris is swallowed and flows through a plastic pipe into a special garbage bag.
In some series there is a third mode - chopper. The principle of operation is similar to the second mode, however, before the garbage gets into the bag, it is finely chopped using special knives. As a result, shredded garden residues can be used as mulch for a variety of plants. However, not all blowers have this mode. To find out for sure, you should consult with a store employee.
Electric garden blower: main classification of units
Before purchasing such a unit, you should pay attention to the features of using such a tool:
- For small areas, a handheld blower is best. It is good because it has excellent maneuverability and is easy to work in gardens and alleys. This unit has small size. Compactness prevents a person from getting too tired while working. In addition, the device is equipped with a comfortable handle and belt.
- A gasoline backpack blower will be good in areas remote from residential buildings and structures. It runs on gasoline and is therefore not tied to power supply. This unit is quite heavy. However, even a weak woman can wear and use it. This is explained by the fact that the garden vacuum cleaner has a special belt system. It is this that relieves a person from fatigue, as it evenly distributes the weight of the equipment. As a result, the gardener will not get tired even if he works for several hours.
- For industrial gardens, powerful cordless vacuum cleaners are best. They usually have wheels, which allow such units to be rolled around plantations. These fans have four wheels and one handle. They also have wide nozzles that can clean out as much debris as possible. The blower-vacuum cleaner also has a shredder function; it processes even large branches well. At the same time, domestic developers have also thought of large containers for collecting garden waste, and also introduced sprayers.
Garden vacuum cleaner-leaf blower: how to choose the right one
The choice of garden blower should be approached responsibly. Close attention needs to be paid to some parameters and aspects. Here are the main ones:
- Plot size. The most important aspect that you need to focus on when choosing a vacuum cleaner for the garden. For small areas (up to two hectares), manual units are well suited. However, if the garden area is more than two hundred acres, then it is recommended to purchase a gasoline vacuum cleaner. If the area of the industrial garden is five or even ten hectares, then it is better to purchase a garden vacuum cleaner on wheels for your farm.
- The amount of work and complexity is the second aspect that you need to pay attention to when choosing this type of equipment. It is necessary to analyze what you need to do with this blower (collect garbage in one pile, in a bag, or even shred it).
- Mobility. If the technology is difficult to use, it will not bring any benefit.
- Parameters - weight and transportation.
Experts also advise paying attention to the manufacturer of the blower. Today, equipment is produced by many companies and factories. Rating best brands looks like that:
- Hitachi,
- Husqvarna,
- Stihl,
- Bosch.
Don't forget to read the instructions before using it. After purchase you need to make a deal with the seller service maintenance and blower maintenance. This is required because do-it-yourself repair will cost much more. And it won’t be possible to repair it everywhere. For example, not all teams even in large cities carry out repairs of vortex blowers.
DIY blower
You can save money and make a hand blower. If it is made correctly, then in operation it will be little inferior to purchased ones. To assemble it, you need to take an unnecessary compressor from a vacuum cleaner, plastic pipe, bag, motor and filters for blowers. You will also need a handle. By putting all these parts together, you get an excellent device that has the same functions as a garden vacuum cleaner from the store.
In order for the tool to still be of high quality and work for a long time, and also not to have to repair the blower soon, you should not rush to assemble it. Otherwise, the unit will quickly fail and all the work will have to be redone. But there is always the option of buying equipment in a store, the main thing is to decide on the model.
