Is it strong enough to blow olives from an olive tree?

I highly doubt it. It is battery hungry for one. One battery last maybe 12 minutes and they are brand new. And its not very powerful. If the leaves are wet forget even moving them. I use it to blow grass of the drive and patio. That's about all its good for.

I am very disappointed with the 24volt blower, doesn't hold a candle the the cord types. The only reason I kept it was I wanted another battery and I didn't want to pay to send it back. The 24volt trimmer doesn't do what they said it would do but having two batteries will get my 150' by 100' yard done. The old batteries were junk I ended up with three batteries and still couldn't get my yard completely trimmed. I like my new trimmer but harbor bad feelings about the old trimmer and the blower that hangs in the shed not being used. Al Storm aljo24@juno.com

No ! Just enough power to blow dry leaves from your driveway. Disappointed in the power.

It might be OK for that, but only for a short amount of time. It works best on lighter things (leaves and grass) and while we are able to use it for the whole yard after mowing, it will only do well for 20-30 minutes max on one charge, which works great for us, but may not for others. You might be chasing the olives one at a time with this one instead of something more powerful.

I have not tried it for this, as I am trying to minimize the number of gutters I have in order to water the slab better during these hot, often dry summers we have down here. It is not powerfull enough to blow wet leaves, and probably not anything compacted. Your hand is still the best gutter cleaning tool on the market.

Not only will it pick up small tree limbs but large ones as well. I even pick up brick with it and place it on my hand. Tough tool and great for the back. No bending or stooping.

You should not have any problem. If you need to add a very little olive oil. But only if it's really dry.

This blower is quite powerful and capable of blowing a good-size pile of leaves, wet leaves and so forth. Being 4-cycle, it is quieter in operation, and it starts on the first crank nearly every time. Being a hand-held model, naturally it is not as powerful as the larger back-pack versions, but it will do a fine job with most tasks. I previously owned the smallest back-pack Stihl blower -- and I liked it okay -- but I don't think that model was quite as powerful as this hand-held unit, and it certainly wasn't as precision-crafted. That said, Stihl products are universally well engineered and well made, and either brand (and Echo as well) will do a fine job. You should match the blower with the task at hand, and these hand-held blowers are not designed for real big, heavy jobs but more for clearing sidewalks and driveways and so forth. The Makita is a fine, precision product, and I highly recommend it!

It does produce olives. It usally takes a year toe 2 before it is mature enough to produce.

It says in the info on Amazon that this tree makes little or no olives. I have had mine since the Spring and have not seen any.

The product is so strong and hot to taste we couldn't use it. We tried in olive oil on salads a myriad of ways always to strong and hot. I have not doubt it works after all i've read.

OK Nancy, you got my curiosity going after my first answer. So I dug out my pitter and tested 2 olives. It seems that the olive must be placed up & down in the pitter for it to work. The longway the pit is just too big to fit in the devices "pit hole" to go into the bucket below. Not sure how it would be for fast pitting of olives. Hope this is more helpful!

No I do not think the product is strong enough for this application. I would buy something more heavy duty.

It works well on blowing pine straw. I have not tried picking up any. The collection bag would be too small.

I have used it for my 2 olive treesq and a Mimosa. Smartpots are great! They even come with handles!

Not sure. It has rounded hooks on one side that allow you to break the stem on the tree from the fruit. In my case oranges. Not sure if it would tear the skin on plums.

Yes ! I love it although it would not use it on big branches This and the leaf blower are terrific.We have them for one year this will be our second year and I hope they do just as well

should work fine... I use it for small to 2.5 inch Oleander branches(medium hardness)

I think it would be great for that. It is not powerful enough to be a leaf blower.

I have used it to blow out the vents, and keyboard, I have used it to clow out my dektops, it is very strong and does a good job, you just have to be aware of its power, heck, I have used it a a small blower in my garage to blow out all the dust in there...lol
