Milwaukee Brings Two New Blowers
Milwaukee Tool announced its new M18 Fuel Dual Battery Backpack Blower will be available in April at an MSRP of $499 (bare tool), or $1,499 (it). The manufacturer said it designed the battery-powered tool for outdoor trade professionals, saying it provides higher blowing force than up to 60cc gas equipment.
“Delivering professionals continued productivity and efficiency on their properties is our bottom line,” explains Tony Buxton, Director of Product Management for Milwaukee Tool. “Through our boots-on-the-ground approach to research and development, our introduction of the M18 Fuel Dual Battery Backpack Blower delivers not only improved productivity for the industry but versatility and ease of use through its adaptable design.”
The M18 Fuel Blower uses Milwaukee’s Powerstate brushless motor to deliver a power output of 650 CFM, 155 MPH, and 20.5 Newtons of blowing force. Redlink Plus Intelligence allows the blower to reach full throttle in under one second, increasing control and productivity in the application. The battery-powered backpack blower offers a low noise level of 62 dB(A) per the ANSI B175.2 Standard, helping companies comply with established and emerging noise regulations.
Mode Select capabilities introduce the option to set various performance levels for different demand and run-time needs, while a variable speed trigger provides additional control. Designed to maximize operator comfort, this blower features a fully adjustable harness, load lifter straps, a telescoping nozzle, and an adjustable handle position to allow the operator to customize for their work.
Handheld Blower
The M18 Fuel handheld blower uses a Powerstate brushless motor to provide up to 500 CFM, 120 MPH, and 12.2 N of blowing force. This tool will be available in March for an MSRP of $179 (bare tool).
Delivering a noise level of only 54 dB(A) per the ANSI B175.2 Noise Standard, this blower keeps professionals compliant with established and emerging noise regulations. The lightweight, compact design optimizes balance, and the ambidextrous lock-on variable speed delivers improved clearing control for grass, leaves, and other light debris. This blower is nozzle-attachment capable and is part of the M18 system, fully compatible with more than 250 solutions.
Additionally, Milwaukee delivers two new blower attachments for enhanced operator versatility. The M18 Fuel Blower Gutter attachment provides more than eight feet of extension and 360 degrees of elbow rotation. The Blower Angled Flare Attachment provides an angled, flattened stream of air for more coverage in parallel to the ground and is compatible with the M18 blowers.
