    /tiny/ leaf blower? How small are those leaves?

    I would like to have such a tool. I don't fancy paying for cans of air, especially as they can vomit ice all too easily, but I have no idea what blowers are good and what are just fragile toys. What have you got?

    Tiny leaves for tiny autumns. Sounds like a song or abstract short story!

    This is the one I got. Can't find the exact model on Amazon but there are likely many comparable tools out there. The risk of ice and the canister waste are what put me off compressed air too.

    Some finickiness with the trigger but it's a minor nitpick. Just release and let it spin down a whit.

    Apart from the trigger waffling at times my only actual complaints with the unit are that the one alternative nozzle doesn't fit as snugly (duct tape to the rescue!) and that the battery will be toxic waste eventually. Not easily user serviceable either since some plastic rings keep it from being pulled apart but hey everything's disposable nowadays (sigh)

    @Lyander, ok thanks. I've seen something pretty much the same on my local amazon.

    @scblock, Mindblowing. HOW did I never think of that? My camera blower and a paintbrush just rescued my keyboard from the cats' hair birds nest that usually covers it. I'd like something a bit stronger though, that I wouldn't dare use on the camera
