Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a quality tool -- for the right situation! I love my Dewalt tools. They are well built and even feel solid. This is no exception. However, pay attention to the word "compact" and the CFM. I bought this because a description elsewhere claimed 135mph air flow. But pay attention to the CFM (air flow in cubic feet per minute). This tool, at 100 CFM, is for small areas and jobs. It would be perfect for cleaning up a shop, keeping your garage clean, or to quickly freshen up the patio and furniture before a BBQ. With the 3 speed switch near your thumb, you can even set it low enough to blow off those hard wood floors -- probably not the best idea, but low speeds would be nice for cleaning up the workbench. If you're looking for regular outside use, such as cleaning up leaves, look to the larger DCBL720P1 model which has a rating of 400 CFM.
