    You'd think with all the money he spends of AMG shift knobs and frozen beef from Dollar General he would have enough to get out and get his own place by now.

    Umbrella man uses same principle as this thing. Looks legit.


    Here's Stihl rating their leaf blowers.

    10-15N for a handheld is 2-3 pounds in freedom units. The umbrella reverser will lose some of that, but it's likely reasonably efficient. Would not be surprised by 70-80%. Not a lot of force, but probably enough. May need a treadmill to get started and smooth rolling wheels to keep going.

    I was tempted to grab an umbrella and borrow a leaf blower.
