Description
Designed for homeowners and DIY yard care, this battery-powered leaf blower features a variable speed trigger with power boost and lock-on switch to adapt from delicate garden beds to full backyard cleanup, making it an all-in-one solution for fall leaf cleanup, driveway clearing, and garage cleaning.
Zoom on the SKIL BL0650C-13
The SKIL BL0650C-13 is a cordless handheld blower that is suited for homeowners with yards that fall in the mid-size range, suitable for seasonal cleanup and routine care.
It sports a max air speed of 170 MPH and a max air volume rating of 650 cubic feet per minute (CFM). 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 BL0650C-13 is equipped with a 40V brushless motor and runs on battery power, enabling mobility without a cord. One 4.0Ah battery is included.
For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the BL0650C-13 offers variable speed settings and a turbo button, and moreover, is also equipped with cruise control, which allows the user to comfortably continue blowing at their preferred setting.
This cordless handheld blower weighs 5.34 lbs as a bare tool and 8.96 lbs with the battery installed, while still being suited for one-handed operation with controlled airflow.
The SKIL BL0650C-13 is rated IPX4, offering protection against water splashes from any direction, such as moisture kicked up from wet surfaces.

The SKIL BL0650C-13's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the SKIL BL0650C-13 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- At 5.34 lbs (bare tool), the SKIL BL0650C-13 sits comfortably within the average weight range for 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.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 170 MPH, which is pretty much what is to be expected for battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Makita GBU03ZV and its 487 MPH could be an option to consider.
- The SKIL BL0650C-13 is a powerhouse, boasting an airflow capacity of 650 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute), firmly establishing itself among the most potent 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.
The bottom line
