If you need serious "leaf blowing", go with one of the new green brands like EGO. There are other excellent outdoor tools that use the same...

You might be able to use shorter "lifting straps" with your existing winch to do the deed in the same way as with just heavy ratchet straps.

The cleanup went surprisingly easy...I created the "world's largest shop vac" and sucked it all up. :) :D The hose wouldn't reach on it's own and I...

That little collector is unlikely to keep up with a drum sander like that...it will not be able to move enough air, IMHO. You cannot go by the CFM...

Wagos are easy to use and if you do a tape wrap after clicking them closed, they are not coming undone. You don't just stab the wires in...you open...

It's true that a part time user will have to get into the habit of "battery management". But most of us already have to do that for our drill/drivers...

And only one of them is new...all the rest came from the old shop and our old kitchen. (brick floor) It worked out nicely for the new shop for sure!
