Well I can't very well buy one NOW.

Or just can't show it off here if I do.

Vancouver B.C. has a ban on gas powered blowers. It was mainly back pack blowers that were frustrating the residents of the west end's apartment buildings.

Some companies in California have been reported to tie an extention cord to their blower so it appears to be electric.

I have electric and battery powered hedge saws and blowers available to use in HOA's/Stratas and other places where the noise echoes or causes people anxiety.

There is a company here that only does maintenance with people power. No gas equipment at all. Manual rotary push mowers, hand clippers, brooms.

If the client wants it or if it's required by law, then charge appropriately.

That would make me want to plug an electric blower into the loudest portable generator I could find.
