Least Favorite Tool in the Shed

Of all the tools in my storage shed, the leaf blower is my least favorite. It's stinky, noisy, and underpowered to boot. Now I don't hate it, to be sure, I just don't like it.

There are three reasons I keep it in the shed:

1. It's paid for
2. It starts every year, and
3. It gets the job done, albeit slowly

Two-stroke gasoline engines are marvelous little beasts. It's just a shame that they're so smoky and noisy. A quiet cordless electric leaf blower would be awesome, but I've never seen one with a reasonable amount of power ...
