Would you rather put in more hours doing yardwork or spend some cash on powerful tools to do the job quickly? If you're willing to invest, nothing can speed outdoor jobs more than a backpack leaf blower—the gardener's answer to the jet pack. We gathered five homeowner models, ranging from 45.4 to 50.8 cc, and gave them a workout blowing wet and dry leaves, sticks, pine cones and seedpods. We also evaluated two new pro models that represent the industry's future—one is a four-cycle and the other a two-stroke hybrid. During a second phase, we tested how homeowners used this gear by working alongside volunteers clearing leaves at a church. Here's what we found.Clearing the AirThe future is clear for two-stroke power equipment. It either becomes cleaner or it disappears. That's especially true for the varieties that pros operate for hours a day. We tested two low-pollution models, both of them commercial-duty. The Stihl is a hybrid that uses a four-cycle engine but two-stroke fuel. The Makita is a true four-cycle machine.

Do you give up performance when you go with cleaner equipment? These machines move an awesome amount of air—and leaves. Although it's difficult to quantify, I'd say they'd allow you to cover about a third more ground than you would with the residential equipment mentioned here, and they can move material that's soaked, packed or lightly frozen. kata sling backpack 3n1-22After a thorough workout, we'd have to say that these machines fought to a draw—each has advantages.seoul large backpack with laptop protection kiplingDesirable Features• Large top carrying handle• Highly accessible fuel spout• Translucent gas tank• Ledge large enough to place your foot on when starting handle with throttlezerg backpack
