- I bought the Bosch GBL 18V-120 blower with the hope that it would be effective as a small leaf blower and I wasn’t disappointed. There didn’t seem to be any other videos of people using it for this purpose so I thought I’d do a short tool review. No AvE style teardown I’m afraid.
It works great, but the attachments that come with it could be better for moving leaves off a very wet and overgrown lawn like mine. They’re difficult to get into corners and involve a lot of bending over. I bought the Makita leaf blower attachment for their very similar 18v tool and while it doesn’t fit, it can be adapted with minimal effort, and proves to be a great improvement. Bosch, please make a proper leaf attachment for this great little blower!
I said in the video that 'it comes with two attachments' - those were the two I was using in this video, but it actually comes with FOUR attachments, there's also a tool for blowing dust out of drill holes, and a tube for collecting it. Sorry for the inaccuracy there.
Nice piece of kit, it's a tool dust cleaner ect.. but can blow leaves if they are dry in a pinch.🙂
Bosch do make a n18v leaf blower (750-N), but it's 4 x size, 4 x the power, and 4 x the price of the 120-N 😮
the grass needs a trim, I would just let the lawn mower pick up the leaves
would have liked to see a demo of it clearing flower beds of leaves. i am sure that it would work better on a lawn with shorter grass too.
my other use would be for drying a car after washing, but unsure if it has enough power after watching this.
I love Bosch 18V tool line, but they obviously have a way to go if they want to get into the yard tool market. I suspected from the start that blower was not powerful enough for leaf blowing and your video proved it. I really hope they expand the line because I'm not impressed with my DeWalt yard tools.
This is not meant to be a yard tool, but for jobsite saw dust etc
Love your ingenuity! 😊
i am thinking about getting one to blow saw dust out of my garage workshop.
Thanks for the review. I have 2 tools from the bosch professional line and they all came with 5 batteries. I was going to invest in the ryobi line but realise, bosch tools are much better and cheaper than ryobi line. I am going to pick up the bare unit since I have the batterie, but really nice hack.
Pro tip - use a rake on grass.
Ive ordered mine but for work purpose,ive plenty of batteries as well.Also i agree with other user,grass is to long
any thoughts on it yet? i'm only considering it as i already have a drill with same batteries
1oldson yes,come last week. I’ve used 4ah and 5 ah batteries on it. It’s pretty good,cleared dust etc from driveways.super small and compact as well.fits in the Bosch blue stack boxes.
It's a shop blower not a leaf blower. Leaf blowers are more powerful. Duh
What a pointless reply.
@@bencharlton ditto. Meaning it's not as powerful idiot.
A me serve x pulire dentro l'abitacolo dell'auto secondo voi può andare bene???
Have you used it to drying your car? Is that works well?
Hi, thanks for the review. Can I ask which Makita nozzle you bought for it please as there seems to be at least 2 versions?
It's TP00000199 - it's not a perfect fit but it's good enough for light use if you wedge the 'rubbery' tube inside it.
Good vid.
Can I use this to clean my pc, will it blow off my cpu?
I don't think it's designed to blow leaves away, for sawdust on the job site, cut your grass and the mower will pick them up.
Yeah, it's not intended for this, but it does the job ok for a bit of light leaf blowing in a small garden, especially if you already have the tool.
Hello, how long can it last in use? And what is the battery recharge time on it?
About 20 minutes on a 4Ah battery. The charges take about 45 minutes I think, but I can't say I've measured that - I've got a few from other tools, so I just stick them on to charge as needed.
Thank you :)
If you cut your lawn the leaves would not get stuck in the grass
go buy a RAKE. I'll take less time, and you won't have to charge a battery.
I've got a rake and I use it regularly. I made the video so people could see how well this works for leaves. It is great for clearing them off the patio.
Jajaja.. Creo que mas duro sopla mi enamorada cuando se le escapa un pedo.
The worst test ive ever seen lol
