I've got a full range of Riobe 40v tools, the original 4A battery from the first one that I bought ~20yrs ago is still good

the 730 cfm leaf blower is almost but no quite as effective as the Stil gas blowers that my contractors use.

The said I think that the 56v EGO 765cfm may be a tad better

I have 2 mostly manicured acres surrounded by an Oak forest, w/ some Ash and Hickory, The leaf load is large but the Riobi doesn't have an issue w/it.

I do have a belt power supply that i can put up to 3 6 -7.5 amp batteries in, this is only needed on the 3-5 worst fall days.

The beauty of focusing on a single brand allows multiple relatively inexpensive tools all using the same batteries. After many years I now have 8 very usefull tools and over a dozen 6 amp 40v batteries, w/ 6 chargers for them.
