Can I use this tool to blow barkdust from its bag into the yard? Or does it just blow air?

No, The air direction is one way, the wrong way for what you would like to do. The bag or blower tube is on the outlet side. The mulch/vac tubes are on the intake side.

The way it is designed I would say no. The collection bag connects to the discharge not the suction side. Hope this helps.

Just hold your regular vacuum hose up to the bag's opening and voila, it sucks the air out of the bag. It's very easy and kind of fun.

I have model 51599 blower/vacuum. The blower kit end is the same as the one for the original bag and it just snapped on. I suspect it would do the same for yours. It also has a separate universal attachment devise. I found that because of the long hose, there is some loss of velocity, but it works great on dry leaves but trails off in effectiveness as leaves become wetter. It will clog on really wet leaves.

It depends if the pine needles are dry or matted. If they are heavy I would say no. This is not a powerful blower. It's adequate for clearing sidewalks of grass clippings. Not much more.

The sweeper vacuums and deposits in an attached bag, while the blower blows yard waste. The bag is not used to blow, but attaches easily for sweeping up items.

I used this to pick up newly fallen leaves, not mulched leaves. Esentially it is a hose that connects to your leaf blower/vac and would depend on how powerful your vac is. I would think that would work but would depend on how fine the leaves are mulched and the power of your vac. Good luck!

I think the answer is a qualified "yes." Don't expect a wind tunnel from this product. It's for light use. How useful it is would depend a lot on the size of the leaves and if they are water-logged. I enjoy the fact that it gets leaves and other blown-in things hiding in the landscaping or under a table or in a crack in the sidewalk. Forget it if you plan to collect autumn leaves with it; it's not strong enough for that. I use it in lieu of a broom.

I've only used it to clean out my pellet stove, I would use a rake or leaf blower for leaves.

No, it's a dry vac only. And it doesn't work well for sawdust for more than 5 minutes.

I never thought of using it for leave blowing but thinking about it it can probably work cause it blows strong enough to blow leaves away no it will not do the job of a real leaf blower tho

I can't answer your question directly, but let me say that this unit should not be called a leaf blower. It is quite ineffective at blowing leaves across a lawn. What it should be called is a "sweeper". It is excellent at blowing leaves dirt and light objects off our sidewalk and wooden deck. My wife loves it and uses it daily. If you have chairs, rugs, planters etc. to "sweep" around, you can't beat this tool. The battery lasts for a week to boot...

I don't know. However you can take off the sawdust bag and see if the vac hose will fit. If it fits, or is close use some duct tape or masking tape to make the seal airtight. Obviously, you will lose some flexibility with the sander, but it will be a easier clean-up . If you use the plastic plate with the nubs on it to pierce the sandpaper, the sander does a pretty good job of capturing the dust in the collection bag. I strongly suggest using ear plugs and/or protective headphones when using the sander, especially if using the sander with the vaccum.

Depends on how heavy the rocks are. On the low setting it blows leaves across the gravel/pixie pebbles I have without moving them much. Bark goes all over the place, though.

I have not used the blowing function like that, so I am not able to provide you with an accurate answer. It seems to me that the blowing capabilities move dust, leaves and dirt, but it is not like a gas-powered leaf blower at all. Sorry that I could not be more help.

Nope. This is a tiny blower for small, smooth surfaces - I.E. work benches, garage floors, or maybe patios, decks and sidewalks. If you want to try a rechargeable blower for a "great amount of leaves on a yard" then get one of the larger Makita 36 volt blowers made for lawns. And unless your leaf filled yard is really small, I personally wouldn't settle for anything less than a gas blower or a corded electric. $.02

My husband has an air compressor and used that to blow up mine. I hope this helps.

In response to Aaron's question, my experience with this machine is really more to do with blowing autumn leaves off driveways and other garden areas, but I imagine that the blower would be powerful enough for what you have in mind. Plus it's small enough to get into tight spaces, but as I have not used it for this purpose I don' to give you incorrect information.
