Zoom on the Worx WG520
The Worx WG520 is a corded electric handheld blower that is best suited to homeowners with smaller home areas like patios, walkways, or compact front and back lawns under a quarter acre.
It is rated for a max air volume of 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 110 MPH. Practically, this means the blower moves small amounts of dry leaves or light yard debris across small yard sections, patios, or driveways with gentle airflow.
This corded blower is powered by a 12-amp motor, providing continuous operation, though movement is limited by the length of the power connection. Note that the power cord might not be included with the blower. If you need one, use our gauge calculator. The integrated cord lock helps prevent the unit from being accidentally unplugged during use.
The Worx WG520 stands out for its customizable airflow, thanks to its variable speed settings, which cater to users seeking tailored performance.
This handheld blower weighs 6.4 lbs and is built for one-handed operation with precise airflow control.

Questions & Answers
Is a second handle available for the bottom of the WG520 blower. My wife says she needs one. There is a key hole slot on the bottom for something. (Asked September 24, 2020)
We are not aware of the existence of secondary handles. The key-hole shaped cutout at the bottom gives you the flexibility to use what you have – hooks, bolts, or nails – to hang your blower on the wall.
