Craftsman C3 19.2 Volt Cordless Blower
I’m going to call the cordless C3 blower a power broom. I use it instead of a broom in my shop. This blower is great for cleaning your driveway, shop, patio, deck and other small areas. This blower is strong enough to move leaves and debris but not to strong to set up a dust storm.

I’m not going to make a video or write a long review for this tool. It’s a blower and it works.
Sears sent me one to try out and I found one area it works very well for me is cleaning my sidewalks. I have about 150 feet of sidewalk and a 14 x 14 patio made with recycled Purlington Street Pavers. I have the pavers set with white silica sand. I always had problems using a leaf blower because the stronger blowers threw all the sand out of the cracks and made a mess. This blower is just strong enough to clean off the leaves and dirt but it does not disturb the sand much. It would be perfect for cleaning off a patio after a rain or in the fall.
Combine this with the Craftsman C3 19.2volt Wet-Dry Vac. Model 17598 and you will have a great combination for cleaning around the home and garage.
I like this blower a lot better than the Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Workshop Blower/Vac Model 11592. That blower has very little power and even less suction.
That’s all folks. I would buy one myself.
You can buy it from Sears online at Craftsman C3 19.2 Volt Cordless Blower order it and pick it up at your nearest Sears store or have it shipped right to your home.
@Troy, I agree with you. It has it’s place, but it is not an all purpose leaf blower.
I use this blower in my wood shop and it works great instead of a broom. I can get the sawdust from under my equipment easily, but it doesn’t make a huge dust cloud like my Remington electric blower does.
I also used it to clean off my brick sidewalks. I have white silica sand in the cracks of the bricks and this blower has just enough power to clean the walk, but not blow all the sand out of the cracks.
It is not good for blowing leaves out of flower beds or even cleaning my cement drive. I have the other plug-in one for that though.
I just purchased this blower and it was delivered yesterday. I would have to say that I am very disappointed. I haven’t decided if I am going to keep it or send it back. I’m not sure if I would even dare call it a power broom. The information on this model states that the air velocity is “up to 140 mph”. I’m not sure the conditions of that test, but my gut feel is that they were testing it in a vehicle that was already travelling at 70 mph or more. Placing my hand or finger in front of the nozzle does not produce the resistance that you would feel by sticking your hand out of a vehicle window travelling at 70 mph. I thought it must be a bad battery, so I swapped out the new battery with one of my other batteries from other 19.2 tools. The results are the same. I am truly disappointed in the deceptive advertising.
Having said all that, this blower does blow dust bunnies out of the garage and light leaves and other light debris off of hard surfaces. And it is very convenient to not have a cord getting caught every time I need to clean up. So I am caught in a dilemma. Do I voice my displeasure in the deceptive advertising the only way that will cause Sears to listen – by sending it back and asking for a refund? Or, do I just be happy for it can do and give up the fight? I’ll decide tomorrow after I use it on another part of the property.
