  You ever tied using a metal rack on pavement? It’s about as pleasant as nails on a chalkboard.

  This is like comparing sweeping to a proper vacuum cleaner

    Kinda, although recent vacuum cleaners are way less noisier than gas-powered leaf-blowers.

  Jackhammers are so loud, haven't they heard of a hammer yet? I am very smart btw.

    Jackhammer and a hammer are not doing the same job. Pickaxe is more akin to a jackhammer.

    What do leaf blowers do that rakes don’t? I don’t remember the last time I saw or heard a leaf blower.
