Bosch GBL 18V-120 blower on leaves / Makita leaf attachment bodge

I bought the Bosch GBL 18V-120 blower with the hope that it would be effective as a small leaf blower and I wasn’t disappointed. There didn’t seem to be any other videos of people using it for this purpose so I thought I’d do a short tool review. No AvE style teardown I’m afraid.

It works great, but the attachments that come with it could be better for moving leaves off a very wet and overgrown lawn like mine. They’re difficult to get into corners and involve a lot of bending over. I bought the Makita leaf blower attachment for their very similar 18v tool and while it doesn’t fit, it can be adapted with minimal effort, and proves to be a great improvement. Bosch, please make a proper leaf attachment for this great little blower!

I said in the video that 'it comes with two attachments' - those were the two I was using in this video, but it actually comes with FOUR attachments, there's also a tool for blowing dust out of drill holes, and a tube for collecting it. Sorry for the inaccuracy there.
