I was 100% in your camp until my neighbor bought an electric blower. The loud, high pitched whine is somehow louder and more ear piercing than a gas blower.

Air quality, too. Leaf blowers re-suspend carcinogens like brake dust and other fine particulate matter. Honestly just an awful practice all around.

I have a special seething hatred for leafblowers. The noise to utility ratio is so high.

As someone who grew up near an US military base with constant low altitude aircraft noise: No thank you, I'd prefer the leaf blower any time.

go to switzerland. gas leaf blowers and jet ski's. not allowed

>> ban gasoline leaf blowers

These things are indeed "The Devil's Hairdryer"

The proposed limit is around the level of standing right next to a leaf blower.

Weed wackers too
