  I'll let my gas powered leaf blower running all day now to make your woke blower useless. Get owned, sucker

    There certainly are plenty of people who use those things because they enjoy being obnoxious twats.

      The same kind of morons rolling coal and destroying their engines.

        I instantly imagined someone rolling coal with their leaf blower… you know it’s going to happen, even if they’re not diesel.

      This is very true. I just know my neighbour wouldn’t choose a quieter option if he had the chance

      Seeing how some very particular relatives are, I wonder if much of the gas leaf blower cloud is less “watch me stick it to the libs” and more “look at me, I’m cleaning my yard, that makes me better than you”

        And by “cleaning my yard” they really mean “blowing whatever I consider a mess onto whatever is beside my yard, or in the general vicinity for the dust”.

      I use things that work because typically over engineered things (like the ‘quiet’ leafblower) are most likely very problematic and will fail. I just do not trust anything new anymore. Companies did this and forced me to stop caring about ‘innovation’ with their constant lies and fraud.

        I use things that work

        Blowing leaves around instead of removing it, isn’t ideal then.

        Yeah, I figure that’s the kind of thing they’re going to say.

        No we obviously need more cheap plastics that will dry rot in your shed and shitty rubber grips that will turn to sticky goo in five years, as well as lowest bidder designed control circuitry with a dozen corners cut.

        I get what you mean, modern power tools feel like Fisher Price toys. They're disposable.

  No, they’ve moved on to “DEI” as their racist dogwhistle now. Keep up.

  Cue the left-wingers being rage-baited about the right wingers protesting the new “woke” leaf blowers.

  All the while the leaf blower manufacturer is getting free publicity.

  Coming soon: The all new, all American, COAL powered leaf blower.

  Now with a slide whistle and megaphone attachments for extra annoying noises.

    Whistle goes, “Woo, woo,” but that’s only in the mo’ning.
