Description

Zoom on the SKIL BL4713C-11
The SKIL BL4713C-11 is a cordless handheld blower that is a good match for homeowners with residential properties where lawns or gardens fall between a quarter and half an acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 530 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 140 MPH. These values mean that it should manage everyday yard leaves rather efficiently, but also have the power to handle denser material or small piles of heavier debris across lawns, patios, and garden paths.
With a 40V brushless motor, the BL4713C-11 functions as a cordless blower, offering freedom of movement. One 2.5Ah battery is included.
To provide more control over their job to the user, the unit has a variable speed control setting. No matter the size of the job, the user can adjust the airflow of the SKIL BL4713C-11 to match it. On top of that, maintaining the selected speed is effortless, as it also features cruise control.
At 6.4 lbs (bare tool) and 8.9 lbs with the battery, the blower’s handheld design lets the operator lift and aim it with one hand.

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).
- As far as cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range are concerned, the SKIL BL4713C-11 carries a typical bare tool weight of 6.4 lbs. 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 140 MPH, which is within the expected range for 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.
- With a maximum airflow of 530 CFM (cubic feet per minute), this model falls squarely within the average range for 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.
