This is my latest Makita addition ...It's next to my cheap Rockwell blower that I bought last Christmas ..

Leaves it behind , well actually it doesn't 'leave' leaves behind ...sorry , bad joke ... I used it this week a few times and worked great doing around buildings entrances and walkways..and it cleaned up a 200 sq metre artificial lawn pretty easily too of leaves and paper ..I like it a lot for that kind of work but haven't tried it on wet grass clippings yet.

On the older Rockwell one , wasn't happy with the really short pipe so I found an old shop vac with a plastic wand section . to my surprise it fits perfectly over the original end and helps it direct the air a bit better..Might need to mod the end a bit by flaring it a little like the Makita..Apologies for the blurry photo but it's an old camera i used that was the only one with a working battery pack.
