You Already Know the Trade-Offs
Gas blowers are loud, heavy, and a pain to start. The cheap cordless ones die in a few minutes, weigh more than they should, and print specs that don't mean anything once you're in the yard. We built the Orca to be the honest one. It's light enough to hold in one hand through a whole patio, driveway, and car. It's strong enough to clear dry leaves and grass without slowing down. And it ships with two swappable batteries and a charger so you don't run out mid-job. Every number we publish is measured. We tell you the conditions we measured it under. Nothing is rounded up, nothing is best-case-only, and nothing depends on a test method we won't explain. That's the whole idea.
Why Orca Is Different
Two Batteries In. No Landfill At The End.
Your Orca comes with two swappable 4.0Ah batteries and a charger. Swap them and keep working — roughly 45 to 70 minutes of total runtime depending on speed. Some leading handheld blowers seal the battery inside. When it dies, the tool dies with it.
Light Enough to Hold in One Hand
Under 2.5 lb with the battery — not a bare-tool number with the heavy part left off. No sore arm halfway through the yard. Light enough that anyone in your household can use it comfortably.
The One You'll Actually Reach For
A gas blower means fuel, a pull cord, ear protection, and dragging it out of the garage. The Orca hangs on a hook by the door. Grab it, squeeze the trigger, done. Brushless motor means more air per watt and a motor built to last.
Magnetic Nozzles That Click In And Stay Put
Three nozzles, each built for a job: a wide one for leaves, a narrow one for stuck debris and standing water, and a flat one for drying a car after a wash. All three live in the molded case with the charger and both batteries.
A Brushless Motor That Doesn't Burn Out
The Orca runs a brushless DC motor. That means more air per watt, less wasted heat, and a motor built to run for thousands of hours, not the few hundred you get from the brushed motors in cheaper tools. Fewer parts to wear out. More of your battery turned into moving air.
The Numbers, Published
Most blowers lead with a CFM or MPH number. We don't print one. Here's why. There's no agreed way to measure those numbers on a handheld blower. Two blowers can print the same figure and blow completely differently, because each company measured it in its own way — and almost none of them tell you how. A number you can't check isn't really a spec. So we publish the numbers we can state along with how we got them:

How It Works. Four Simple Steps.
Step 1: Pick Your Nozzle. Snap in a charged battery and choose the nozzle for the job.
Step 2: Squeeze the Trigger. Light for delicate cleanup, all the way for stuck leaves and standing water.
Step 3: Swap the Battery. When one runs low, drop in the second and keep going.
Step 4: Pack It Up. Everything stores in the molded case that comes with it.
60 Nights to Decide. Then Years of Coverage.
Use it on your leaves, your driveway, and your car. If it isn't the lightest capable blower you've owned, send it back within 60 days for a full refund — and we pay the return shipping. Every Orca comes with a 3-year warranty on the motor, electronics, and housing, and a 2-year warranty on the batteries.
What It Does Well.
Most of this category won't print the second list. We think that's why people return things. It's good at: Dry leaves, grass clippings, and light yard debris Patios, decks, porches, driveways, and sidewalks Garage and workshop cleanup, including sawdust Clearing debris out of sidewalk cracks and corners with the narrow nozzle Drying a car after a wash — clearing beading water from mirrors, grilles, emblems, and panel gaps so you finish faster with a towel Boats, campers, truck beds, and trailers Blowing dust off blinds, shelves, and hard-to-reach corners A handheld blower speeds up the job. It doesn't do magic. And we won't show it doing anything in our ads that it can't do in your driveway.
5.0
"My full-size gas blower barely comes out anymore" I bought this for quick jobs, but it has almost replaced my gas blower. There is no fuel to mix, no pull cord, and no ear protection needed. Two batteries keep it going long enough for the whole property.
5.0
"I can take care of my own yard again" I am 74 and had stopped using our old blower because it was too heavy for me. This one is light enough that I can do the patio and walkway without help. Having two batteries means I do not have to rush.
5.0
"A great finishing tool after washing my car" The flat nozzle works well for pushing water out of mirrors, door handles, badges, wheels, and the grille after a wash. I still towel-dry, but there is less water left behind and fewer water spots.
4.0
"Powerful for its size, but keep an extra battery nearby" The airflow is stronger than I expected, and it easily handles my patio, garage, and front walkway. On high speed the battery runs about 20 minutes. Having the second battery in the box solves that.
4.0
“I will never buy another tool with a sealed battery” My last cordless blower worked well until the built-in battery stopped holding a charge. The entire tool became useless even though the motor was fine. I chose this one because the battery can be removed and replaced. I can also charge one battery while using another. It feels like a tool I can keep for years instead of throwing away when the battery wears out.
4.0
“Quiet enough for early cleanup, and everything stays together” I like to clean the patio before the day gets hot, but I do not want to wake the neighbors with a loud gas blower. This one is much quieter and still has enough power for leaves, dust, and small debris. The storage case is another nice touch. The blower, charger, and nozzles all have their own place, so I am not searching the garage for a missing attachment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use another brand's battery? And can I replace the battery later?
Yes you can use your preferred battery brand with our handheld leaf blower.
What runtime should I actually expect?
About 22 minutes on high, and up to 35 minutes on low, per battery. That's roughly 45 to 70 minutes across both. A full charge takes 90 minutes or less. Runtime depends on how hard you work the trigger. Squeeze lightly for easy jobs and you'll stretch it. Most jobs don't need a full pull.
Why don't you publish a CFM or MPH number?
Because there's no agreed way to measure those on a handheld blower, so the numbers can't be compared between products. Two blowers printing the same figure can perform very differently depending on how each was measured and almost nobody tells you how. We publish the numbers we can back up with the conditions we measured them under: weight with the battery in, runtime per battery, charge time, and noise at a stated distance and speed. If we ever publish an airflow number, it'll come with the same information.
Is it light enough for someone who's found other blowers too heavy?
Under 2.5 lb with the battery in, held in one hand. That's about the weight of a hair dryer. It's the reason a lot of people who'd given up on doing their own porch or driveway are doing it again.
What can it do well, and what can't it do?
It's good at dry leaves, grass clippings, patios, driveways, garages, sawdust, and drying a car after a wash — clearing beading water from mirrors, grilles, emblems, and panel gaps so you finish faster with a towel. It does not instantly dry a car. And it's not a substitute for a full-size backpack blower on big piles of heavy, wet leaves. A handheld blower speeds up the job. It doesn't do magic, and we won't show it doing anything in our ads that it can't do in your driveway.
How loud is it?
On low it runs about 75 dBA at your ear — roughly a normal vacuum cleaner, and much quieter than a gas blower. High speed is louder, like any blower.
Do the nozzles come off during use?
Each nozzle is held in place by a magnet and swaps in about a second. All three store in the molded case — which is the part most people don't think about until they've lost one in a garage drawer.
What's the warranty and return policy?
60-day risk-free returns, and we pay the return shipping. A 3-year warranty covers the motor, electronics, and housing. A 2-year warranty covers the batteries.
Where do I buy replacement batteries?
Straight from Orca. They're a stocked item, not a special order — "replace the battery, not the tool" only means something if the battery is actually available.
