Owning one of the best leaf blowers means you can say goodbye to using your rake to clean up leaves, and you'll be able to keep your garden and patio neat and tidy with the minimum of effort. 

Leaf blowers are particularly useful if your mobility is limited, or if the sheer scale of your leaf coverage makes sweeping or raking impractical. They do what they say on the tin, but they're also handy tools for tackling debris and larger twigs.
