The fall colors can be a beautiful sight, but sooner or later a whole lot of those leaves are going to end up all over your yard. Collecting them is a bit of a chore, and while there are ways to clear leaves without a leaf blower, these tools usually make the job quicker and much less tiring than a lot of bending and stretching.

There are dozens of different leaf blowers to choose from, but if you have a large yard, you'll probably be looking for a high-performance model. With gas-powered leaf blowers increasingly banned across the US, that means a big cordless tool, and few match the air flow delivered by DeWalt's 60V Max Brushless Blower. It offers a massive 760 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of volume, which means it can clear big areas quickly. Maximum air speed is an impressive 160 mph, which gives the high pressure you need to focus on heavier debris like wet leaves.

DeWalt claims their 60V leaf blower delivers 46 percent more blowing force while being 78 percent quieter than a gas-powered machine from a well-known rival. While the company doesn't give an actual noise rating, one retailer has it at 63 decibels, which is roughly as quiet as normal conversation.

DeWalt's 60V leaf blower has a brushless motor designed to extract maximum power from the FlexVolt battery. It will run for around 20 minutes on Eco mode and 14 minutes on full-power Turbo mode. A convenient, top-mounted control panel provides the speed adjustment button and the battery charge level. A flat nozzle, a concentrator nozzle, and a shoulder strap are included.

So how much does it cost? If you already have a FlexVolt battery and charger, you can buy the DeWalt 60V Max High Power Brushless Blower as a bare tool from Acme Tools for $299.00. If you don't, then Home Depot has the complete kit for $439.00. The tool is available from a number of different retailers, so it's worth shopping around.

Although it's not cheap, it does compare favorably with several cordless rivals, and DeWalt's reputation for reliability and durability is tough to beat. DeWalt's smaller 20V leaf blower is listed among 11 top-rated tools that are game changers for yard and garden projects, but if you have a lot of leaves to deal with over a large area, you'll want to check out DeWalt's strongest leaf blower for the significant power advantage it offers.
