Does the shape of the nozzle make much of a difference when using a leaf blower?
Stephen Leo Hurst, TX A flatter nozzle shape is generally better for moving leaves, and a round, reduced nozzle shape is better for loosening surface debris. When shopping for a leaf blower, remember that a manufacturer’s claimed speed rating can’t accurately tell you how well a machine works. If you’re going to buy a new leaf blower, check the sweeping and loosening scores in the Ratings (available to subscribers).
