Help an old guy out. =20
I've got a standard hand held 2 cycle leaf blower =E2=80=A6 Stihl, Echo, Hu=
skv all make them. with about a 2.5 foot straight
tube.  Works great  for around the trees and beds but not so much along fen=
ces and buildings as it just blows everything on down the
fence line  or the house instead of out from the house so I can gather the =
with the mower...
=20
I'm=20
looking for an angled attachment (45 or 90 degree) that will push the leave=
s=20
out away from the house. With the straight nozzle if you
try to reposition it, it just blows them up in your face or back behind you=
=2E.. =20
does anyone make an 'add-on' piece or has anyone fabricated
something that works well ??  the nozzle it probably 3" in diameter...  I'd=
 like to have it where you could put it on for the fences and then off
for general blower work...
=20
thanks=20

John,

Did you look on Etsy?  I've seen a variety of blower attachments there,
including some angled ones.  Not sure any are what you're looking for, but
it may be worth a try.  Otherwise, do you have any friends with a 3D
printer?

Tom

My Stihl blower came with a tube for the inlet, so it will vacuum up
lesves, chop them a bit, and blow them out the nozzle.  May not be what you
have, but sounds like what you need.
