Comment on I hate leaf blowers with the passion of 1000 suns.
iconic_admin@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoI’m conflicted on this one. My hatred aside, the guy running the leaf blower is just trying to feed his family. I like @mipadaitu’s idea about the silencers. I doubt lawn companies would adopt them without them being mandatory or the same price as not silencing them somehow.

The guy feeding his family can feed his family with a rake.

Or even an electric leaf blower. They’re like half the noise.

They work absurdly well, too. Ours takes the same battery pack as the lawnmower and a few other things and it’s basically inaudible if you don’t have direct line of sight on the unit.
