M18 BBL-0 Compact Blower 18 Volt Bare Unit

We ordered this for our front porch and back porch. It’s the perfect size and not too heavy! It’s very powerful and does a great job! Love that the batteries are rechargeable and that it’s cordless!

Helpful little gadget, amazingly powerful for its small size. Great for small routine jobs like porches, garages and cellars. Great for chasing skunks off your porches, powerful enough so they can't spray against the airstream. Lightweight so you don't tire out fast. This is my second unit. The first one lasted over six years but the soft tip ripped off, my bad because I left it out on the porch all summers.

This thing really does blow. And goodness knows I love a good job done. Lightweight and small, but punches above its weight. I use the 3 speed settings, located above the thumb. These speeds are set well, Low Med and High. Low moves light leaves, med is a good middle ground, and high can push even bark chips back in place. Note that high really does consume a lot of battery! Conveniently, the good folks at Milwaukee added a lock-on switch, right above the trigger on. The trigger moderates the speed pretty well too, but at this price point don’t expect a ton of precision. The 18v battery is the heaviest element of the device. The attachments are nice add for inflating various pool toys or camping equipment.

I'm a guy. What's not to like. Another great tool from Milwaukee.

To begin, the hilarious part. In reading the manual (which is mostly pictures) there was a section showing the 3 speeds of the blower. Slow -- indicated by a turtle Fast -- indicated by a rabbit And then a new one! Medium -- indicated by a turtle humping a rabbit. (see the picture, it's worth the purchase just for that alone) This tool is well made, like all of the Milwaukee M18 tools I have bought/used. It puts out a decent amount of air (to be exact, it outputs 100 CFM of air at 180 MPH). For comparison the base model M18 leaf blower outputs 500 CFM of air at 120 MPH. Thus in theory & in practice, this tool can blast dust out of enclosed spaces quite nicely (I personally use it to clear ductwork, heat exchangers, clean my carseats, and light duty leaf blowing on gravel). As far as blowers go, this tool is very compact and easy to use (the extensions can be swapped and the second one is made of a flexible rubber that makes it easy to get right up and close (and even cram the end of the tool into stuff without damaging anything). Keep in mind though that it does not replace an actual leaf blower if you have thick grass, it'll move the leaves but it will take you forever to do anything. That being said if you have only gravel, concrete or just a deck, it works quite well and doesn't really kick up any rocks.

Very handy when large blower is to much

It took me a little while to notice the selector switch on top that changes the power setting of the blower, but once I actually read the instructions, it (not literally) blew me away. This little device has all the I need to keep my shop clean with room to spare. It's small enough to fit in a tool bag and powerful enough to keep up with just about everything I throw it at. With the right battery, it won't let you down.

Great blower! Light weight.
