GreenWorks Pro GD60BPB 60V Backpack Blower (Bare Tool)

The GreenWorks GD60BPB is a professional quality knapsack leaf blower, ergonomically designed so that all the weight is carried on the back and the blower is easily controlled by a joystick. The high efficiency DigiPro brushless motor is engineered to provide more power, additional torque, quiet operation and longer motor life.

With performance comparable to a petrol-powered machine, the GD60BPB has the advantage of being lightweight and less noisy with reduced vibration. Added to this, it does not have the restraint of a power cord, the hassle of petrol and oil and is zero maintenance. 

Powering the unit is a beefy 60 volt lithium-ion battery (not supplied) with the convenience of push button start, which will provide up to 15 minutes run-time on a single charge of a 4Ah battery. The blower produces a forceful 225km/h (140mph) blow speed and air flow rate of 540cfm to blast leaves and debris into manageable piles.

The GreenWorks 60V backpack blower features a variable speed dial and cruise control for optimised air speed control and precision to give you just the right amount of blowing power needed exactly where you want it. 

Conveniently, the 60 volt li-ion battery will power all the garden tools in the GreenWorks Pro 60V range, including lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, string trimmer and chainsaw, so your battery and tools become an integrated garden care system.

NB: Battery and charger NOT included.

*** Best Backpack Leaf Blower

Here’s what The Independent had to say….

“If you want to look like a Ghostbuster while going about your seasonal clearance then this is the machine for you. Backpack blowers are great for allowing you total freedom to roam about your garden blasting away at anything out of place.

Thanks to the machine’s respectable air speed and volume numbers, combined with a wide-mouthed nozzle, the air is directed in a targeted jet that quickly cleared covered decking and patios and efficiently directed leaf litter and twigs, without it ending up in messy piles. The variable speed trigger was also responsive and the automatic cruise control was efficient – eliminating any hand and finger strain while you’re on the job.

Finally, the one thing you definitely want from a backpack blower, as you’re probably going to be wearing it for a while, is ergonomics and comfort. Greenworks has done a good job here with a fully adjustable and sufficiently padded harness and a manoeuvrable blower tube and angled handle, which makes it easy to achieve a good working angle.”
