It's an industrial blower / vacuum. tbh, I'm not really sure why any industry needs a $1000 electric leaf blower, but given that they've been selling them for over 100 years, somebody keeps buying them. Also, because they cost so much new, people like to list them on ebay for $500 or so, even when they're in crap condition. They never seem to sell. I wonder why >_>
Also, also, the people running the company now are a bunch of a-holes. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
