How to use a leaf-blower & still get along with your neighbours 

I wanted to help my fiancée with the lawn and I was doing the same 10×12 space for over an hour. All the things you said would happen did happen. I had a melt down and then sat in my car crying until I saw your video. You sir, are from heaven. Thank you. 🙏🏾😊

Fairly basic stuff for "yard people" but it was all presented excellently! I was actually unaware of the hearing hazard of the "sustained noise". Just proves to me that when you think you know, you still have room to learn something. Thank you so much for the video!

Great video - I've had a leaf blower for a year, used it once and went back to raking. It's been like the "thing" in the corner of the garage, until I watched this. . . Thank you, big help!

Cheers, as new home owners that are trying to keep their property clean while also lacking most of these skills, videos like this really help! Well presented, concise and to the point.

You can also use a petrol lawn mower with a grass bag on it to pick up the leafs

Autumn season 🎄.Monsieur illustrated very briefly and Thank Q so much 🙏🎄.

Really nice video and also in my opinion I think that Electric blowers are better with leave pile jobs and petrol blowers better for bigger job with all the other stuff

Appreciate the lesson! 🍂

We need this guy in Hackney East London England now........

Thank you so much. On my own after 38 years of marriage. It is a great help

Good video. Covers all the basics. Thanks

Beautifully explained. Thanks for posting!

REMARK ABOUT WEARING EAR SOUND PROTECTOR GOOD, VERY GOOD TO MENTION. THANKS.

Thanks Michael

thx for the help big man

love my Victa 2 stroke handheld leaf blower and has not been a problem since day one and for the time being i clean up the spark plug for every tank of fuel as it will make to start up way easier

Thanks, Just bought a corded blower for about $15 because the handle was broken off (easy fix) but as I have never used one before I wanted to check on on how to properly do so. Very informative

Thank you for having me in this video We leaf blowers are going through tough times.

Out here in the desert, we don't use our weed blower for leaves. We use it to dry the mules and donkeys or blow off the dust before saddling them. And no, they aren't afraid of that noisy thing! They like it! Suzanne

Yes but how do I use a leaf blower and get along with my friends?

Great video

Well done

Thank you sir

I was watching another video on removing leaves and that guy recommends using two rakes so you can do a clamshell thing to lift them up and not have to bend over. Might consider doing that. Also, I use a corded leaf blower because most batteries have to be replaced every couple of years and then they stop selling that model of battery. Also, a corded leaf blower is quieter than a gas blower.

Only watched half of it but excellent tutorial. Id say last but not least hell with the neighbors. Keep ur property nice. If you have a small yard then sure get a handheld. If not get an Echo 770 or a Stihl BR 600 backpack blower and make some noise! Personally i think its kind of funny when im running my Echo 8010 and some woman comes out to complain. Hey its not like im sitting there running the machine for no reason I'm making money. Imagine trying to rake out a flower bed or some other delicate area? Leaves loaded in the corner of houses under outdoor tables and other stuff. There's a reason we use these machines. Believe me if using a rake worked better people would use a 20 dollar rake instead of a 500 dollar leaf blower.

Use a small footbal goal with medium sized net, blow into the goal and the leafs will gather and not fly all over

One other point to be made to get along with neighbors is do not blow leaves into other neighbors yards, even if the leaves are falling off of neighbors trees into your yard. Obviously none of us can control where leaves fall especially when a strong wind comes along. I have a tree that drops a lot leaves into my yard and my neighbors yard. I also have a neighbor on the other side of me that has a tree alot of leaves fall into my yard. So I end up with quite a bit of leaves to rake up. I am considering getting a leaf blower as I have a back condition and I am no longer supposed to do yard work because it hurts my back. I would never blow leaves into another neighbors yard but the neighbor who has leaves from my tree falling into their yard blows them under the fence because I guess she thinks if they came from my tree I should have them back, not sure why she does this. We have always got along, she knows about my back condition, but one day after I had finished raking near the fence she blew leaves into my yard. I asked her to please not do that, she apologized and proceeded to clean up the leaves without leaf blower. I figure she will just blow leaves under the fence when she is sure I am not home. I am not sure how many years this has been happening as I recently retired and I am out in my back yard more than when I was working. I wont make an issue over it any further. If leaves are blown back into my yard I will rake them up. For the most part she is a good neighbor. No need to ruin a good neighbor relationship over leaves. But good leaf blower etuquette is to not blow leaves in a neighbors yard. I dont do that to neighbors. I would appreciate the same consideration be extended to me.

Thanks for the video. I liked it.Kevin

wow this really helped a lot thank you!

Very helpful !

Even with your tips blowing leaves is still obnoxiously noisey.

When you have a postage stamp size yard those are just fine.

I strait piped my leaf blower I don’t care what people think

Good video

How long could you use a cordless unit before needing to swap batts?

Good video........except I cannot hear you over the background music.

I use a Echo PB8010 backpack blower for all the heavy grunt work I have. Then for fine work I use an Ego 6500.

For a yard that small a brush would suffice

Use a cordless electric leaf blower.

I prefur that noise from gas powered over the battety ones. That high pitched thing is awful and the sound fills our condo. I do NOT agree that it is quieter. Our neighbor blows for hours every single day. I had to quit school because of it.

Where's the leaf-obsessed brush turkey

Can't stand it when people rev their leaf blower like it's a car engine!

I love my leaf blower. I use it at least once a week.

i use 2 of my 3 gas blowers that work commercially so i only use gas

I hate leaf blowers.

instructions unclear, I almost blew my head off with the leaf-blower

I'm only hearing sexual innuendoes... ;p

i like the petrol ones better, even as a neighbour, electric just irritates me lol

Am watching this video because am 13 and am gonna take my dads place to blow the whole apartment so he doesn't how to do it

I love british accents

My neighbor has a gas model, I have an electric. His is sooo loud! I don't want to start ww3. I am thinking about just buying him my electric model.

Playing with a leaf blower? That is the most childish thing I've ever heard of! How could you possibly have fun with one of those oversized hair dryers?

Don't use a leaf blower if you respect your neighbors.
