I use Makita's cordless blower every day. It's like a mini leaf blower. It's great for cleaning out sawdust and debris from a jobsite, driveway, or the back of a truck. We do a lot of work around paving stones, so sweeping doesn't do much. The blower really cleans up the jobsite. It's the one tool that always has a battery in it.

I can even turn the blower into a vacuum by switching a nozzle onto the intake valve and attaching a bag. It worked great for when I forgot my shop vac and had to suck something out of a little crevice.

The batteries charge fast in just half an hour. And Makita has compact batteries that charge even faster than that. ”
