What was the inspiration behind this technology?

Where do the weeds go when you blow them?

If you were writing a training manual for weed blowing what point(s) would you highlight?

Would you rather be unemployed or operate one of these?

I predict if someone could make a quiet weed blower they would earn untold riches. You cant smoke, but you can blow crap everywhere.

Do people use weed blowers in the country or is this an urban experience?

I hate these and completely support municipal ordinances to ban them, at least from residentially zoned areas.


The constitution doesn't require me to put up with your noise and pollution on my private property.

Those look like leaf blowers to me.

If you have a 50 acre farm out in the country and wanna blow your leaves around be my guest.


If you're blowing your leaves onto the sidewalk in front of my house at 8:00AM in the morning waking me up, yes, I have no problem with the gubmint telling you you can't do that.


Noise is a kind of pollution. You don't have some god-given right to make as much noise as you want whenever you want regardless of the consequences for anyone else.

People using weedblowers really early in the morning are just as annoying and bad as people who party with loud music on late at night

Most towns have noise statutes that say you can't make more than X amount of noise before Y hour in the morning or after Z hour at night.

In a town I grew up in, the limit was nothing louder than a properly muffled car before 7 am on weekends or after 11pm. They used this statute to go after Harley riders and make them actually obey the muffler laws lol.

So I'm thinking a gun range is out of the question?

I live in the country. There is a cop who owns a bunch of land near us. He has a shooting range set up. Who the heck do I call about the noise?
