The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Black+Decker LSW40C compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- With its 2.4 lbs bare tool build, the Black+Decker LSW40C holds the lightest bare tool weight seen in cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range.
- Air expelled from the blower's nozzle can reach speeds of 125 MPH, indicating a lower air speed, when compared to other battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V.
