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).
- When compared to other cordless handheld blowers in the 18 to 24V range, the SKIL BL4714B-10 stands out for its lower bare tool weight: just 4.4 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Worx WG543 is worth a look at just 2.3 lbs the bare tool.
- At full power, this blower maxes out at 100 MPH, placing it on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers between 18 and 24V.
