I bought a RIDGID Vacume/blower for about $100. I think it was Home Depot or Lowes. 6.5horsepower/210mph :hurray: Awesome toy. :D


Edit: This is a vacume cleaner, not a leaf vacume. When you convert it to a blower all you do is snap off the motor so nothing is used that could have dirt left in it. Bigger problem is making sure your driveway is still wet so you don't blow dirt into the paint. ;)

:iagree:

BTW - I would not use the vacuum function on the same blower used on your car. :cheers:
