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 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 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.
Featuring a 40V brushless motor, the unit provides cordless operation, allowing you to operate with great mobility. One 2.0Ah battery is included, and should provide up to 60 minutes of runtime when fully charged.
Thanks to its variable speed settings, the SKIL BL0460C-11 allows precise control of the air output.
With a bare tool weight of 3.6 lbs and 5.8 lbs with the battery, this handheld unit can be guided with one hand to direct airflow where needed.

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).
- When compared to other cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range, the SKIL BL0460C-11 stands out for its lower bare tool weight: just 3.6 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Black+Decker LSW40C is worth a look at just 2.4 lbs the bare tool.
- The air speed of the SKIL BL0460C-11 maxes out at 120 MPH. While more than adequate for many jobs, its air speed is below average among other 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.
- Its air volume, rated at 460 CFM, is typical among cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 350iB, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
- Within the voltage range of 36V to 48V, the BL0460C-11's autonomy of up to 60 minutes on a full charge is typical for cordless handheld units. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Makita CBU01Z can run for up to 300 minutes and could be worth considering.
- While runtime is an important metric, it is closely tied to battery capacity. To understand performance more clearly, it’s also useful to look at runtime efficiency, how long the unit runs relative to its battery size. With its standout figures, the SKIL BL0460C-11 delivers the highest runtime efficiency among the battery-powered handheld blowers considered here.
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.
