    I have just witnessed someone cleaning a kitchen/breakroom with a leaf blower.

      Suck or blow? Because some of them can do both.

          No way! Gather a lynch mob.

            After my brief period of shock and horror, I ran away.

              I used to watch it all the time as a kid, some of the quotes are ingrained in me.

              “Comb the desert!”

                Same, and it was one of the first movies that went on my media server when I first set it up.

                Might be time for a re-watch.

      Whenever my wife cuts my hair, I blast all the tiny little clippings out by grabbing the ol’ leaf blower and aiming it at the top of my head. Electric though, a petrol one would be a bit heavy :D

      Also use it for dusting vents and clearing crud from cupholders and such when cleaning the inside of my car and I CBF running the air compressor hose out or wasting canned air.

      For some people the only tool they need is a hammer. For me, it’s a leaf blower :D

      Sometimes I even use it for clearing leaves.

      Mr P did this in the lounge and kitchen once. I came home and wondered, “why does the place smell more than vaguely of petrol? And why is all there a line of dirt and fluff along the skirting of the far wall and floor of the place?” Put 2+2 together and asked him if he did a Caddyshack, which he admitted to lol.
