Description
Ditch the gas leaf blower for a smarter solution like the SKIL 40V 460CFM Leaf Blower. This cordless leaf blower is powered by PWRCORE 40™ lithium battery technology to deliver long runtimes along with a digital brushless motor that delivers air speeds up to 120 MPH for performance to clear heavy leaves and debris.
Zoom on the SKIL BL0460C-11
With its cordless handheld design, the SKIL BL0460C-11 is suited for homeowners with properties with limited lawn space, typically less than a quarter acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 460 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 120 MPH. To put it simply, it handles a limited amount of leaves and debris on a small lawn or garden area, suitable for light, occasional clearing.
The BL0460C-11 features a 40V brushless motor, providing cordless operation for flexibility and mobility. It is supplied with a 2.0Ah battery which can offer up to 60 minutes of runtime per charge.
With its adjustable airflow through variable speed settings, the SKIL BL0460C-11 puts control in the hands of the user, allowing for tailored performance.
This blower weighs 3.6 lbs as a bare tool and 5.8 lbs with the battery, this handheld blower makes one-handed operation straightforward.
With its IPX4 rating, the SKIL BL0460C-11 can handle occasional splashes from wet leaves or puddles during operation.

The SKIL BL0460C-11's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the SKIL BL0460C-11 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- At only 3.6 lbs (bare tool), the SKIL BL0460C-11 offers a lighter option within the cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Black+Decker LSW40C is worth a look at just 2.4 lbs the bare tool.
- Maxing out at 120 MPH at full power, this blower is on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Husqvarna 350iB, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 200 MPH.
- With a maximum airflow of 460 CFM (cubic feet per minute), this model falls squarely within the average range for cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Ryobi RY40HPLB01K, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
- Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 60 minutes from its battery, which means the BL0460C-11 won't run as long as many other cordless handheld units before needing to be plugged in. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Stihl BGA 200 which offers up to 535 minutes of runtime.
- The SKIL BL0460C-11 stands out for its high runtime efficiency, making effective use of its battery capacity to extend operation time. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the Stihl BGA 50, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 0.8 minutes per Wh.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 36-48V cordless blowers, the SKIL BL0460C-11 is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.
