Zoom on the SKIL BL4714B-10
The SKIL BL4714B-10
The SKIL BL4714B-10 is a cordless handheld blower that is best suited to homeowners with a typical home yard ranging from about a quarter to half an acre.
It features a maximum air speed of 100 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 400 cubic feet per minute (CFM). To put it simply, it handles a limited amount of leaves and debris on a small lawn or garden area, suitable for light, occasional clearing.
A 20V brushless motor powers the BL4714B-10, which operates fully cordless for versatile handling. A 4.0Ah battery is included.
Not all jobs need full power. The BL4714B-10 has 6 speed settings so, you can blow more or less air from the blower depending on the job.
Weighing 4.4 lbs as a bare tool and 6.1 lbs with the battery, the handheld design allows the operator to control airflow with one hand.

The SKIL BL4714B-10's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the SKIL BL4714B-10 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).
- In its category of cordless handheld blowers in the 18 to 24V range, the SKIL BL4714B-10 stands out for its lighter bare tool build at only 4.4 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Worx WG543 is worth a look at just 2.3 lbs the bare tool.
- Maxing out at 100 MPH at full power, this blower is on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers between 18 and 24V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Makita XBU07SM1, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 143 MPH.
- For those prioritizing air volume, the SKIL's BL4714B-10 delivers with a maximum airflow of 400 CFM (cubic feet per minute), surpassing most cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Dewalt DCBL724W1, with 550 CFM, could be in your good books.
