Unbelievably, the Ridgid blower showed up at my door in LESS THAN 24 HOURS, It's perfect for what I was looking for.

Strange, I build...all day every day in blazing hot or brutal cold and we're NOT kind to our tools, the Makita is top notch in precision, weight, and durability. And that pretty much goes for their corded tools also. However I have two vans full of every brand and for the most part they're all quality products.

Since we use our tools so much I generally go for the lightest model I can get from the professional lines. I find that they're every bit as durable as the heavier units and don't wear me out as the day gets long. If they do break I just chuck them and get some new stuff, none of this stuff is that expensive.
