EGO leaf blower. 765 cfm at the push of a button. Open all four car doors and press the trigger: instant clean interior. Aim at weak fire and press the trigger: raging fire. Aim at clogged shop vac filter and press the trigger: clean filter.
Soooo many uses. I hear they even move leaves!

My current use case for leaf blowers is gutter cleaning and blowing off the deck. I'm mostly a leaf rake guy in the fall.
Our dryer vent only has like 10" of pipe between the dryer on the outside so doesn't really need lots of cleaning (which is a great use BTW for a leaf blower).
I need to get a cordless one, but I'm a cheapo Ryobi kind of guy.
Used to have on of those oil burning Stihls but left that at my parents house when I moved from Utah back to Seattle.
Leaf blowers are the dumbest lazy man tool ever invented. Shut that noisy bitch off and get a rake.
I like all of my assortment of battery powered DeWalt tools. I'd say the big impact gun is my favorite as it makes changing tires a breeze. I use the angle grinder and reciprocating saw a lot too though.
Weed eating is her job. The DeWalt weed eater is pretty damn nice though.

I don't split enough wood to need one, yet. It's very satisfying when I've used one and the almost effortless firewood is really nice. I don't particularly enjoy using any of the other tools while owning 90% of them

I sometimes use mine to push my youngest around the cul-de-sac on his trike.
Riding mower. Not even a close decision for me.
And BTW us tuff semi-rural suburban guys call them lawn tractors because we actually hook shit up to them for towing, spreading and spraying, etc.

My people were cutting down trees and building boats to loot Europe and beyond

UTV. Handy as shit for everything from snow plowing to hauling shit and general four wheeling through the woods
@creepycoug 's ancestors were too busy praying to Allah while our TUFF Swedes were sweeping onward with threshing oar.
I wish I had a big enough lawn for a lawn tractor with a beer holder. But alas, that kind of dirt is like $4 million and up where I live.
This was a tough choice for me. Mrs Nacho has posted pictures of me on Facebook cutting wood with the chainsaw with the caption, “nothing makes that fatass happier than using his chainsaw”. It’s quite satisfying.
I owned a snowblower for the 18 months I lived in the Chicago burbs. Also highly satisfying. I enjoyed it so much I was clearing off the sidewalk 3-4 houses on either side of mine.
The downside to both tools is that the usage is limited. I live on a small urban lot because I’m a man of the people so not a lot of chainsaw work and the snow isn’t frequent enough to qualify owning a snowblower.
What I do have a metric shit ton of is leaves. No trees sit 100% inside my yard, 2-3 straddle the property line and I have another 10 trees bordering my yard. Add in the walnuts and hackberries and I spend most of fall trying to keep my backyard and driveway clean.
And for the commies who are pissing and moaning that the leaf blower is too loud, I say this: you can have my leaf blower when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Ryobi or any other power tool maker sucks you in once you buy anything with their removable batteries.
I know Ryobi is an inferior product to all the others but I’m already invested and not going to make that change. My garage looks like the goddamn Oregon locker room with all those neon grellow tools.
