Overview of the SKIL BL4713C-11

The SKIL BL4713C-11 in use

The SKIL BL4713C-11

  • Power: This cordless leaf blower has a maximum air volume rating of 530 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed rating of 140 MPH.
  • Power delivery: SKIL designed this unit and its brushless, battery-operated motor with top-of-the-food-chain maneuverability in mind. The BL4713C-11 doesn’t need to be plugged in, so you can take it anywhere easily.
  • Battery: The SKIL BL4713C-11 is powered by an easy-to-recharge 2.5 Ah 40 V Li-ion battery (1 BY8705-00 battery included).
  • Handling: Being handheld, this blower has a good maneuverability and is meant to be easier to carry around over a small period of time. At 8.9 lbs (battery included), the SKIL BL4713C-11 is within the average weight range of cordless handheld blowers.
  • Speed Settings: For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the BL4713C-11 offers variable speed settings, and moreover, is also equipped with cruise control, which allows the user to comfortably continue blowing at their preferred setting.

The SKIL BL4713C-11's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the SKIL BL4713C-11 compare with similar leaf blowers.

  • Its max air speed of 140 MPH places it at the approximate midpoint in comparison to other battery-operated handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Makita XBU01PT and its 208 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • The BL4713C-11 is powerful, with an airflow rating of 530 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This is certainly on the high end compared to other cordless handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 350iB, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
