Leaf Blower Types. Handheld: Handheld leaf blowers are the most common type for people interested in cleaning up leaves around a home. Backpack: Backpack leaf blowers are ideal for commercial or heavy-duty uses. Blowers with leaf vacuums: Some types of leaf blowers can convert into vacuums. This gives people the option to pick up and mulch light debris. Walk-behind blowers: Walk-behind blowers are ideal for heavy-duty cleanup jobs.
A leaf blower is a popular gardening tool that can either be gas powered or electric/battery powered. It uses air to move leaves, grass shavings, debris and other things off of your yard, sidewalk, garage, driveway and porch or deck. Sometimes they are handheld and other times they are strapped on like a backpack.
