A DIY approach to the Handsfree backpack

This started as a “what if…?” topic. While pragmatism quickly defeats the rational of a contraption like this, it felt unnatural to buy a petrol leafblower while there’s so much power on tap with those Bluetti stations.
 
So to the question: “can I strap an AC200L or AC240 to my back, and avoid petrol gardening tools?” we have good news to bring - the answer is yes, and it’ll work your legs, and butts (“…and not your buts” like we love to repeat at the gym…).

See the result, the whole sidewalk is clear in 20 minutes tops, and I did avoid the neighbhors’s patch to showcase the contrast. This would have been impossible with a typical battery fed leafblower as we have here the equivalent of 2.2hp of pure petrol goodness, without the hundreds of moving parts, maintenance, issues, storage concerns and all. Just… 3 times the weight, but hey, my “glutes” say “thank you” in their very own way.

@Derceto Interesting attempt at Handsfree (DIY version)! :battery: :battery:
However, weights over 61 lbs may need to be labeled “To avoid muscle strain, non-professionals should not imitate.” :rofl: :rofl::+1:
