DEWALT 20V BLOWER VS MAKITA 18V BLOWER: Which One is better?

SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/2LQB1gi
↓↓↓↓ LINKS BELOW!
This is probably the first blower review that doesn't show any blowing! Ha! Well the specs are virtually the same on these two blowers, and I wanted to "feel" each of them out. I took a good look at the Makita and DeWalt blowers and after some thought, I decided to keep the Makita. I hope my unboxing and review helps you in your quest to find a good blower.

I've been researching battery powered leaf blowers that would have enough power to move leaves, yet be lightweight & easy for a 75-year-old woman to use. I had narrowed it down to these 2, and your video helped me decide to go with the Makita (even though it doesn't have the greatest run time), Thanks so much!

[@diywithandrew]

I’m so glad to hear this. Thanks for taking time to let me know. I hope you enjoy your blower! I still have mine and use it all the time.

[@woodworkerchris1903]

I agree with you on having some tool diversity: it's probably easier (or sometimes cheaper) to stick with one platform, but the flexibility of having batteries on 3-4 platforms allows me to get the best tool for my workflow without being stuck with one brand.

[@diywithandrew]

Thanks for the comment, Chris! That’s exactly how I feel and am glad I’m able to have the flexibility. What brands to you utilize?

[@woodworkerchris1903]

@@diywithandrew I primarily use Dewalt and Milwaukee (on both companies' 18 volt and 12 volt platforms), but my track saw, impact driver, and leaf blower are Makita tools. In fact, I have the one from this video and I absolutely love it! I also have some stuff from Ryobi like their rotary tool, a small fan for the shop, a portable Bluetooth speaker, and a handheld scrubber. People badmouth Ryobi, but for more niche stuff that I don't use frequently, it makes more sense to go with their brand: it all works just fine, and I can get it at a fraction of the cost that I'd pay for the other companies' gear.

Thanks to your video, I bought the Makita 2x5Ah batteries/free blower deal today for $199 from Home Depot. I had placed an order with a major online retailer for the same 18V blower but a used tool and 2 x 5Ah generic batteries that would have been $15 dollars less than what I paid Home Depot for brand new brand name-and got my 10% military discount too. As soon as I saw your video, I cancelled my online order. Thank you so much!

[@diywithandrew]

I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for taking the time to watch and let me know. Thanks for your service as well!

[@Discovery123.]

I just got the Dewalt same as your. I am thinking about return it. I intended to use it as a leaf blower but it seam like it’s too weak. It’s perfect for saw dust blower other than that it’s useless.

[@diywithandrew]

That’s good feedback. Thanks for watching and sharing.

[@Gordon_L]

I have a mix of Makita and DeWalt , several batteries for each , should the need arise though adapters can be bought to make one brand battery to fit the other brand tool .

[@diywithandrew]

Good idea. I think having variety and options is a good thing.

[@artemZinn]

Dude you're so right on the sound, I can hear the high pitch of DeWalt thru the video and it drives me nuts
Thanks for honest review!

[@diywithandrew]

Thanks for watching and the comment. Glad it helped! I’ve been very happy with the Makita since this video.

[@koukimonzta]

MAkita for me. So lightweight that my 80 yr old mom can do it herself while Im out to work 😂

[@JoeL-zx2tl]

Maybe consider a better microphone. Your voice is hard for me to hear and understand, even when I turn the volume up.

[@diywithandrew]

Thanks for the feedback!

Dewalt 20V MAX Blower, 100 CFM Airflow (DCE100B)

[@diywithandrew]

👍🏼

[@johnr5545]

Nice job god bless

[@diywithandrew]

Thank you! Same to you.

[@janzibrik3551]

Battery life?

[@diywithandrew]

Solid for 5ah!

[@mikeb1039]

you won't use high power (the whistle) in blowing your garage out.

[@diywithandrew]

That’s a great point! I do tend to rock the full power though. 😂

[@marty232]

Dewalt sounds better👍🏻

[@diywithandrew]

It’s a good blower, no doubt!
