Backpack blowers are standard operating equipment for professional lawn care companies, and the gas Craftsman 30cc Backpack Blower 41AR322G799 (Sears item 07179499000) is a low-cost way for homeowners to get pro-level performance in their own backyards.

At less than $230, the blower delivers plenty of value and power, and -- most notably --allows you to clean up leaves and other debris for hours on end without worrying about fatigue. The vast majority of the unit's 21-pound weight is on your back, supported by padded shoulder straps. The Craftsman 30cc Backpack Blower 41AR322G799 blows at up to 180 miles per hour, and it comes with a concentrator nozzle to focus the air where it's needed, whether to push a particularly heavy pile of debris or to persuade a wet clump of leaves to peel off from the ground.

The variable throttle control is mounted on the blower arm, a comfortable and nearly effortless way to work. The Craftsman 30cc Backpack Blower 41AR322G799 is powered by a hefty 30cc two-cycle engine and features a 2-year limited warranty.
