How to Make an Electric Leaf Blower Stronger

Install a smaller air flow condenser onto the end of your leaf blower. Smaller vents increase the pressure of air being released by tightening the space through which it can exit. This produces a more intense and focused stream of air, which, in turn, heightens the power of your leaf blower when used on a targeted area. Air flow condensers are available from some leaf blower manufacturers, while others have adjustable vent openings built in.

Use your electric leaf blower in the same direction as the wind. When the wind is helping, rather that fighting against, the air flow created by your leaf blower, the machine's power is increased. When the blower is fighting the wind, its power can be greatly reduced. Reposition yourself constantly to keep the wind at your back to maintain peak performance.

Check that your electric leaf blower is set to its highest possible power output. Some models have a sliding switch while others have a knob switch. In either case, put the switch in the high or max position to ensure the machine is at its strongest.

Make the most of your electric leaf blower's power by dividing large jobs into a collection of smaller ones. Place a vinyl tarpaulin on the ground near the area you wish to clear. Use your leaf blower to move a portion of the leaves onto the surface of the tarp. When the tarp is fully loaded, drag it by hand the dump location. This allows your small blower to do the work of a larger model, by reducing the amount of leaves which must be moved at one time, and shortening the distance they must travel. Repeat the process until the leaves have been moved.
