[Brian Kemp]

How about something like

or

These are both light weight 3" fittings.

Have you tried to blow at about a 45 deg angle aiming at the wall or fence?  The rebound air stream should do what you want with the straight pipe.

Help an old guy out.  I've got a standard hand held 2 cycle leaf blower … Stihl, Echo, Huskv all make them. with about a 2.5 foot straight
tube.  Works great  for around the trees and beds but not so much along fences 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...
 
I'm looking for an angled attachment (45 or 90 degree) that will push the leaves 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...  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...
 
thanks
