Weight is important to a leaf blower’s design since you should be able to comfortably use it for extended periods of time. The 350iB weighs just shy of 6 pounds bare, and adding a 40V 7.5Ah battery brings the weight up to 10 pounds.
Additionally, at the end of the blower tube, there’s a scraper tip designed to remove stuck-on debris that won’t dislodge with just air.
