MILWAUKEES Electric Tools 2724-20 M18 Fuel Blower (Bare)

Works great,very powerful

Great blower, matches my backpack blower with a fraction of the weight. Needs the XC8.0 or bigger batteries or it drains them FAST!! Its expected for the blowing power it produces on hi.

What you would expect from a Milwaukee designed product. It doesnt fail in being a second generation tool either. The greatest upgrade in my opinion is pulling the intake farther away from the users body. It doesnt get pulled towards my leg like the original model did. The other noticeable changes are the reduced weight (between half a pound and a pound lighter). And the change from a gradual low power to high power, it now has a button to switch between low power and high power (blowing force). Although like most Milwaukee tools the trigger pull can still be used to modulate power but when locking it on it is now on full power for either low or high. This second power control change is not a positive or negative for me, I dont know if it matters for me which way they have it set up even having used both. The biggest question for an existing first generation user is if its worth upgrading. I have two answers for this. First if it is not a primary tool for you then keep the first generation product. It works fine and has gradual power all the way up. Second if this is a tool that you use on a regular basis you will probably notice the difference. It is somewhere between half a pound and a pound lighter (Im not sure this is enough of a factor for most people). Using them side by side it blows a little stronger and farther but unless they are side by side or you use them on a regular basis its probably not something that would be noticed. The other factor is the high and low vs gradual power all the way up.

Another great tool by milwaukee!

Great for general leaf-blowing type activities - driveways, flat roofs, walkways, etc. I have a lot of oak trees and leaves (and acorns) tend to accumulate on the hood and even inside the engine compartments, and it is great for blowing all of those out too. And its nice not to have to drag an electrical cord along behind me! The variable speed trigger on top of the slow/fast control setting gives a lot of control over how powerful it is. I have 6Ah batteries and I have yet to run one down (but OK, Im not using it like a landscaper or gardener would).

Powerful enough for my needs, arrived quickly and worked great right out of the box. Perfect for patio, stairs and sidewalk cleanup, yard cleanup and leaf blowing.

Read several reviews and was concerned about the battery life. I found that the lower speed worked extremely well for my needs, which made the battery life less of an issue as it consumes much less power in that setting. If you are wanting to use it for 30 minutes straight in the high power setting you will obviously need a longer lasting battery or possibly multiples. My use is to blow leaves away from 3 entry doors and a sidewalk about 40 feet long, a 20x20 patio and a parking area about 35x35, which takes about 15 to 20 minutes all total. I have a High Output CP3.0 battery from some of my other tools that I use for it and get a two to three uses per charge. Your mileage may vary. I like the unit as it is light weight, powerful and easy to handle.

Great product and fast shipping

In a great way! I have been wanting this blower for a while. Finally got it and it rocks! By far the most powerful blower Ive had. I use it every day to blow out my shop after work, and it sure beats sweeping!

Well worth the money. I have Milwaukee and Makita 18v and 12v tools so I had to stay with one of these. My gas and 110v blowers are a pain to use. This is just as powerful and it starts easy no power cords to drag around. Milwaukee 18v Line trimer and Makita 18v hedge trimer are both winners
