A leaf blower is basically a tool used for gardening.The main aim of a leaf blower is to coagulate the leaves scattered throughout the lawn.There are two types of leaf blower-electrically and gasoline powered.Gasoline powered leaf blowers were earlier made of 2-stroke engines but nowadays 4-stroke engines are used to reduce the air pollution and noise levels.
