Ryobi OBL1820S Review

The Ryobi OBL1820S ONE+ Cordless Blower provides a quick and easy means of clearing leaves and other garden debris from hard ground such as patios, driveways and wooden garden decking. It has a high maximum air flow speed of 245km/h, letting you get the job done quickly and efficiently. We like the soft-grip (over-mould) handle which lets you hold the tool comfortably and securely, which is useful particularly over long durations.

As the name implies, the Ryobi OBL1820S is cordless, meaning there's no power cable to get tangled up or to get in the way whilst you're blowing leaves. The tool is powered by a ONE+ 4000mAh battery which is included together with a charger. We like how the battery is compatible with a whole range of cordless Ryobi tools, letting you save money in the long run. You can also buy this blower without the battery and charger.
