Description

The Tanaka handheld blower is one of the lightest (only 8.6 lbs) and most powerful (at 441 CFM) blowers in its class. It features a purge primer for quick and simple starts, a low emission PureFire® II engine and large throttle lever for easy operation. The exceptional balance and light weight make it ideal for small clean up, while it has the power to handle larger yard work. (source: Hitachi)

Overview of the Hitachi Tanaka TRB24EAP

The Hitachi Tanaka TRB24EAP in use

The Hitachi Tanaka TRB24EAP

  • Power: The Tanaka TRB24EAP gas-powered blower, manufactured by Hitachi, is rated for a max air volume of 441 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 170 MPH.
  • Handling: It’s handheld, so naturally it’s easier to handle and carry than larger leaf blowers, such as backpack models or walk-behinds. Among other gas-powered handheld blowers, the Hitachi Tanaka TRB24EAP can be considered light, weighing only 8.6 lbs.
  • Engine: This blower's PureFire® engine has a displacement specification of 24cc. Since this is a 2-stroke engine, it’s important to remember that the Tanaka TRB24EAP cannot run on gasoline alone. The fuel must be mixed with an appropriate ratio of gasoline and oil in order for it to function properly (for this Hitachi model, this ratio is 50:1).
  • Speed Settings: Sometimes you just need a little more power, while other times you may want a little more precision when moving leaves and debris. That’s why the Tanaka TRB24EAP features variable speed settings for added control.
  • Noise: As far as gas-powered handheld blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 87 dB.
  • Fuel Tank: With a capacity of 17.6 fl. oz., this Hitachi blower is average compared to other gas handheld blowers.
