- Handling: By design, this model isn’t the smallest leaf blower on the market. It’s meant to be carried as a backpack so that the bulk of the unit is out of the way and the user’s hands are free to manipulate the nozzle.

The fuel/oil ratio recommended by Shindaiwa for the EB770RT is 50:1.
- Speed Settings: To provide more control over their job to the user, the unit has a variable speed control setting. No matter the size of the job, the user can adjust the airflow of the Shindaiwa EB770RT to match it. On top of that, maintaining the selected speed is effortless, as it also features cruise control.
