I may be a redneck...
You may be a redneck if...
Your 25 year old leaf blower is held together by three different colors of duct tape!
First repair to the handle, using red duct tape:
Second repair, where the cord enters the unit, using black tape (okay, electrician's, not duct tape):
And finally, true gray classic duct tape to fix the tune!
Mrs. YK thinks I'm being cheap. I just figure that the more I save on some things, the more I get to spend on others - like things with levers!

Re: I may be a redneck...
A redneck doesn't own a leaf blower or a leaf rake.
Leaves are supposed to fall on the ground.

A Redneck can dry his truck, or motorcycle after washing with the leaf blower

No lie--------------Several times a year when its time to clean out "'Ole Yeller", my daily driver 1989 Jeep, I pop the doors off and yes, I fire up the leaf blower and give her the works.
Everything, including owners cards, dead bugs, 3 month old newspapers, empty .223 cases, etc. goes flying out. I pick up the necessary stuff and blow the rest of the trash over to my neighbors.
Re: I may be a redneck...
Hmmmmmm - So, that's a leaf blower, huh ?
It looks more like my Green-eyed Monster's hair dryer....................

Re: I may be a redneck...
Never had a leaf blower, since we live in the 'country' - we'd never run out of leaves to re-arrange.
Good repair jobs though, but I'd have gone back to the black tape on the spout, or if I had to use grey, I'd have probably candy-caned it or something silly.
After reading the other 'redneck' uses, maybe I'll get a used one sometime if I find one cheap!

Re: I may be a redneck...
Repairs? I think it's just color co-ordinated. A couple of y'all have noted things I use my leaf blower for; cleaning out my truck and "air sweeping" my reloading/play shed...

parked next to a burn pile on low, looks like a forge, sounds like a jet engine.
careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

A redneck with colored duct tape?

Re: I may be a redneck...
that's a great idea for my Jeep too...i like the part of sending the unwanted debris to one's neighbors, i'm sure they appreciate the extra mulch...not only can a leaf blower clean a vehicle, but it can be deployed in an act of charity....like it... :)Sixgun wrote:Blaine,BlaineG wrote:A Redneck can dry his truck, or motorcycle after washing with the leaf blower

Need at least one more color of "duck" tape, AND a bit of Gorilla Tape before you really qualify for RN designation on this one.
