Craftsman 7.5-Amp Electric Blower 358748200

Date Published: 1/4/07

The 7.5-Amp Electric Blower 358748200 (Sears item 07174820000) from Craftsman delivers strong-enough power at a tiny price. The air output is near the weaker end of the blower spectrum, but the 150 miles per hour the motor kicks out is enough to clear light debris from a sidewalk, patio or garage floor.

The unit weighs only 5.4 pounds, so this model is extremely portable -- as long as you're within an extension cord's length of an outlet, that is. The Craftsman 7.5-Amp Electric Blower 358748200 isn't going to whip up enough wind to clear your lawn of heavy, matted leaves, but it's a solid, compact addition to any tool collection, and it provides a gas-free alternative to other more expensive blowers.

This model – which is a blower only, not a vacuum, so it doesn't suck up leaves – costs less than $35 and comes with a 1-year limited warranty. If you need a simple blower, you can't beat this price.



Warranty
One year, limited
