CRAFTSMAN also made it with a variable speed throttle and vibration elimination to reduce the impact on your shoulder and arm.
It is meant to be utilized more like a leaf blower than a vacuum, but it still does include the lawn vacuum essentials in the package.
It is rated to move a very impressive 450 CFM at a brisk 205 miles per hour.
CRAFTSMAN also adjusted its proprietary simple start ignition system which you see on several of their successful gas-powered devices.
You just prime the engine, choke and then only pull the drawstring for a very smooth start.
If you do want to utilize it as a vacuum, you have to change over the attachments manually, it then has a mulching level of 16;1 which means it can decrease a traditional sixteen bags of leaf litter into just one bag.

Final words
This is one of the heavier hand-held blowers on the market now, just by virtue of its two-stroke gasoline engine.
