Zoom on the SKIL BL4713-10
The SKIL BL4713-10
With its cordless handheld design, the SKIL BL4713-10 is best suited to homeowners with a typical home yard ranging from about a quarter to half an acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 500 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 193 MPH. To put it simply, it moves less air overall but at higher velocity, handy for concentrated tasks in yard sections, patios, or walkways.
This cordless blower is powered by a 40V brushless motor, allowing unrestricted movement during use. One 2.5Ah battery is included, and should provide up to 50 minutes of runtime when fully charged.
With its adjustable airflow through variable speed settings, the SKIL BL4713-10 puts control in the hands of the user, allowing for tailored performance.
With a bare tool weight of 4.6 lbs and 7.1 lbs with the battery, this handheld unit can be guided with one hand to direct airflow where needed.

The SKIL BL4713-10's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the SKIL BL4713-10 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- The SKIL BL4713-10 tips the scales at just 4.6 lbs (bare tool), placing it among the more lightweight 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 193 MPH, which is rather impressive for a battery-operated handheld blower between 36 and 48V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Husqvarna 350iB and its 200 MPH could be an option to consider.
- It has a maximum air volume output of 500 CFM (cubic feet per minute). With this output rating, the BL4713-10 is well within average in relation to similar 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 anticipate a maximum autonomy of 50 minutes from its battery, suggesting that the BL4713-10's runtime is below average among cordless handheld units. 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.
- Runtime efficiency for the SKIL BL4713-10 is among the better figures in its class, helping the user get more work out of each charge. 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 BL4713-10 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.

User Reviews
This blower will only run for about 8 minutes on a fully charged battery at high speed. Why would you ever run a blower at anything other than high. Plenty of power but just doesn’t run long enough.
