Zoom on the Craftsman CMEBL712
The Craftsman CMEBL712
With its corded electric handheld design, the Craftsman CMEBL712 is mostly aimed at homeowners with a small outdoor space such as a patio, driveway, or yard under about a quarter acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 410 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 180 miles per hour (MPH). Practically, this means the blower should handle large amounts of leaves across yards, patios, or driveways while also having enough speed to move damp leaves, acorns, or small twigs.
The CMEBL712 features a 12-amp motor, which runs as long as it is connected to a power source, with mobility naturally limited by the cord length. Be aware that the blower may not come with a power cord. If you need one, we recommend using our gauge calculator to ensure compatibility. To reduce the risk of accidental unplugging during use, the blower features an integrated cord lock.
The Craftsman CMEBL712 features customizable airflow through its variable speed settings and effortless speed maintenance with built-in cruise control.
Weighing 9 lbs, the handheld design allows the operator to control airflow with one hand. The CMEBL712 is compatible with Craftsman’s VersaTrack™ wall storage system.
The Craftsman CMEBL712's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Craftsman CMEBL712 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- With a weight of 9 lbs, the Craftsman CMEBL712 stands out as a heavier option in the corded blowers. To enjoy the lowest possible weight in this category, you could have a look at the Sun Joe SBJ597E which is only 3.9 lbs.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 180 MPH, which is pretty much what is to be expected for electric handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Craftsman CMEBL7000 and its 260 MPH could be an option to consider.
- Its air volume, rated at 410 CFM, is typical among corded blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Worx Turbine WG521, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.

About Craftsman
Craftsman is a label which traces its roots to 1927, when it was first registered by the Sears department store. The brand has been only recently acquired by Stanley Black & Decker. Their products seem to be assembled in the US, from materials that are sourced abroad. Their selection features a wide range of lawn keeping equipment, including several leaf blowers. Little by little, Craftsman are diversifying their leaf blower offers. Craftsman blowers used to be exclusively handheld and electrically powered, but we now see backpack and gas-powered models. Both their price and specs range from the lower to middle tier.
