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 handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- The SKIL BL4713C-11 tips the scales at 6.4 lbs (bare tool), a weight that's typical for many 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.
- Its max air speed of 140 MPH places it at the approximate midpoint in comparison to other battery-operated handheld blowers 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.
- Its air volume, rated at 530 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.
