My contribution is that I use the detachable unit from my Husky shop vac. I=
t is fine for what I need it for but does require an extension cord which i=
s not a big deal for my half acre or so lot.

My gripe is that amazon is bad bad bad. Support brick and mortar shops beca=
use if we don't they will one day all be gone. Remember Sears? I remember h=

on and on.

Hey, this list has been real quite lately.

I just got home from a 6 month EPIC build with the Army.  Experience of a l=
ifetime!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  Again, I give thanks for the awe=
some brain trust here!  (and as soon as I get this email back with the dona=
te link, I plan to drop some 'thanks' on the moderator!)

One question, in my quest to always buy tools when they are going on cleara=
nce, I'm in the market for a backpack leaf blower.

Price is not really a limiting factor, but I want POWER!!!  Any suggestions=
?  It seems that leaf blowers play the 'air compressor' game and claim ridi=
culous stats with no one holding their feet to the fire.

Any suggestions?  I plan to buy right away.  I normally use Amazon but if t=
here is a place other that Amazon to get it, let me know.

Thanks again and I hope all is well!
