My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Exploding Leaf Blowers

last year

https://www.click2houston.com/consumer/2013/06/07/leaf-blower-explodes-in-houston-womans-hand/


This seems to be happening to multiple brands.

If you look at the one star reviews of a different brand and model below, you will see at least 3 different reviewers stating with photos that the device exploded and shot shrapnel. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076CSDNXK?th=1


Seems like they the need to be recalled. Posting 1 star reviews seems inadequate.


How do you find a safe leaf blower? The one in the news article was a name brand and it still exploded.
