A backpack tool kit including a backpack assembly with a casing and a battery pack received in the casing; and at least one tool connected to the casing of the backpack assembly and electrically connected to the battery pack. The backpack tool apparatus can be provided with multiple tools to simultaneously realize different operations and functions. Moreover, the tools are configured to be detachably connected to the backpack assembly, and can be replaced with different tools to realize different operations and functions according to needs.

Aerators and methods for aerating snow and/or ice-covered surfaces, such as, golf greens or lawns, are provided. The aerators include a hub and cylindrical projections from the hub. The cylindrical protections are shaped and oriented to contact the snow and/or ice covered surface. Upon distribution of the aerators upon a snow and/or ice covered surface and exposure of the aerators to ambient conditions, such as, the sun, the temperature of the projections is raised above freezing which melts adjacent portions of the snow and/or ice to expose portions of the underlining surface to ambient air. A kit providing aerators is also provided.

A blower may include an air passage including an air intake hole and an air discharge hole; a fan disposed in the air passage and passing air from the air intake hole to the air discharge hole; a control unit; and a chamber that houses the control unit. The chamber may include a first communication hole communicating outside of the blower to the chamber, and a second communication hole communicating a part of the air passage disposed on an air intake hole side relative to the fan to the chamber. The chamber may include a cooling air passage which allows air having flowed in from the first communication hole to flow out from the second communication hole via the control unit. The first communication hole may be disposed on the air intake hole side relative to the fan with respect to a direction along a rotation axis of the fan.

A blower includes a motor mounted to a frame. The frame includes wheels mounted to the frame. The blower includes a fan powered by the motor and a blower outlet. The fan is configured to expel air from the fan through the blower outlet. The blower outlet is movable in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. The blower includes a horizontal control for controlling a horizontal position of the blower outlet. The blower includes a vertical control for controlling a vertical position of the blower outlet. Both the horizontal and vertical controls are positioned remote from the blower outlet.

A portable leaf blower comprises a blower tube, comprising an adjustable nozzle portion (200) which is reconfigurable between an air speed mode, in which the nozzle portion (200) is configured to expel the air from the blower at a relatively higher air speed and a relatively lower volumetric flow rate, and an air volume mode, in which the nozzle portion (200) is configured to expel the air from the blower at a relatively lower air speed.

The present invention provides a single-tube blowing suction device, including a body (1), an airflow generation apparatus, a collection apparatus, and a blowing-suction tube (2). The airflow generation apparatus has an air inlet portion and an air outlet portion. The airflow generation apparatus is rotatably mounted on the body (1). The airflow generation apparatus rotates relative to the body (1) to enable the single-tube blowing suction device to switch between a suction mode and a blowing mode. In the suction mode, the air inlet portion of the airflow generation apparatus is in fluid communication with a first end (21) of the blowing-suction tube (2), and the air outlet portion of the airflow generation apparatus is in fluid communication with a connection port of the collection apparatus. In the blowing mode, the air outlet portion of the airflow generation apparatus is in fluid communication with the first end (21) of the blowing-suction tube. In the single-tube blowing suction device of the present invention, one tube is used for both blowing and suction. It is not necessary to detach and change a blowing tube and a suction tube to switch between blowing and suction. It is only necessary to rotate the airflow generation apparatus relative to the body by a particular angle to implement switching between blowing and suction. The human-machine interaction is desirable, so that the use comfort and work efficiency is improved.

A handheld blower includes a housing, the housing including an air inlet and a duct assembly, the duct assembly including a duct, a motor and a fan mounted in the duct, a battery, a handle, and a blowpipe which defines a central axis. Along the direction of the central axis, the area of the flowing cross-section of an air passage at the rear end of the fan adjacent to the air inlet is larger than that of the flowing cross-section of an air outlet of the blowpipe, and the rate between the area of the flow cross-section of the air outlet of the blowpipe and the area of the flow cross-section of the flow-through area at the position of the fan is greater than or equal to 0.8.

An assembly including a wearable blower having a fan, a motor, an air duct having a duct housing thereof, a handle attached to the duct housing, and a hanger disposed on the duct housing. The hanger has an attachment part attached to the duct housing and adjacent to the handle and a hanger part connected to the attachment part for holding an accessory attached to the blower. The hanger part rotates with respect to the duct housing at a first hanging position whereat the hanger part is unfolded with an opening mouth for holding the accessory of the blower and the hanger part rotates with respect to the duct housing at a second folded position. Thus, the arrangement of the hanger can help the user to hold the accessory of the blower at the work states.

A multi-use garbage truck has an ability to not only to front load containers of garbage into a hopper in a refuse collection body, but also an ability to swap out the forks, if not arm connection assemblies, or even entire frame arms, to be replaced with one of a plurality of attachments which connect to at least one, if not both frame arms with attachments for various uses such as snow plow, leaf blower, street sweeper, bucket, grapple, etc. Furthermore, an ability to independently operate the left frame arm relative to the right frame arm can now be provided so that the left frame arm can utilize and perform one function and the right frame arm provide another or at least be independently operable from one another.

Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a back-mounted power tool system. The power tool system includes a battery package that can be used on other power tool systems, a backpack apparatus, a power tool, and a connecting member. The backpack apparatus includes a backpack harness to mount the backpack apparatus onto a user's body and a first connector to removably couple the battery package to the backpack apparatus. The power tool includes a motor driven by a power supply from the battery package. The connecting member transfers a weight of the power tool and/or a force received from the power tool to the backpack apparatus by rotatably coupling the power tool to the backpack apparatus. The connecting member further enables the power tool to rotate about a first rotation axis or a second rotation axis, the first rotation axis being perpendicular to the second rotation axis.
