DeWalt made its name on job sites, and its 60V MAX FLEXVOLT blower brings that battery system into the yard. FLEXVOLT is DeWalt’s high-power battery line: the packs are built to power heavier 60V tools like this blower and a chainsaw. For a first-time yard owner, that means a cordless blower with enough push for leaves and grass clippings, without mixing gas and oil or pulling a starter cord.
This guide covers six listings: two tool-only listings for the DCBL772B blower, a blower and chainsaw combo kit, a DCBL772X1 blower listing, a third-party 20V-battery blower from ALDIPRO, and DeWalt’s small 20V MAX DCE100 blower. In one sentence, they differ in whether a battery comes in the box, how much air they move, and whether they run on 60V FLEXVOLT or 20V batteries.
DeWalt 60V Leaf Blowers Compared
| Model | Battery system | Airflow | Air speed | Battery included |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dewalt Blower AXIAL HNDHLD 60V 600CFM (DCBL772B) | 60V FLEXVOLT | 600 CFM | 125 MPH | Not listed |
| DEWALT DCBL772B 60V MAX Flexvolt Brushless | 60V FLEXVOLT | 600 CFM | 125 MPH | No (tool only) |
| DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Blower & Chainsaw Combo | 60V FLEXVOLT | 600 CFM | 125 MPH | Yes, one 3Ah |
| Dewalt Blower AXIAL BRUSHLESS 600 CFM (DCBL772X1) | 60V FLEXVOLT | 600 CFM | 125 MPH | Not listed |
| 850 CFM Beast Blower Compatible (ALDIPRO) | Two 20V packs (40V) | 850 CFM (claimed) | 200 MPH (claimed) | No (bare tool) |
| DEWALT 20V MAX Blower (DCE100B) | 20V MAX | 100 CFM | 135 MPH | No (bare tool) |
Two terms before we start. CFM (cubic feet per minute) measures how much air the blower moves, which decides how big a pile you can push. MPH measures how fast that air leaves the tube, which helps lift wet or stuck leaves. A good leaf blower needs a healthy amount of both.

Dewalt Blower AXIAL BRUSHLESS 600 CFM
Best for: Buyers seeking the DCBL772X1 blower alone
Pros
- 600 CFM at 125 MPH
- Adjustable speed and throttle lock
- Brushless per title
Cons
- Kit contents not listed
- Sparse listing
Best for: FLEXVOLT owners wanting a bare blower
Pros
- 600 CFM at 125 MPH
- Throttle lock
- Handheld axial design
Cons
- Listing is nearly blank
- Weight conflicts with other DCBL772B listing
The Dewalt Blower AXIAL HNDHLD 60V 600CFM listing is for the DCBL772B, DeWalt’s 60V handheld axial blower. “Axial” means the fan blades spin in line with the tube, like a jet engine, which is the common design for handheld leaf blowers. The listing gives 600 CFM, 125 MPH, a throttle lock and dimensions of 24 by 8 by 12 inches.
This listing is almost empty. Its feature and description fields just repeat the title, and some details are clearly off: it lists the power source as hand-powered, which is not correct for a battery blower, and it gives a weight of 6.9 pounds while the other DCBL772B listing says 9.1 pounds. The listing does not say whether a battery is included; the B suffix on DeWalt model numbers typically marks a bare tool, but confirm before buying.
It suits someone who already owns FLEXVOLT batteries and just needs the blower. If you would rather buy from a listing that states “tool only” clearly, the next one is easier to trust.

DEWALT DCBL772B 60V MAX Flexvolt Brushless
Best for: Adding a blower to FLEXVOLT batteries
Pros
- Brushless motor
- 600 CFM at 125 MPH
- Clearly marked tool only
Cons
- No battery or charger
- Few details in listing
The DEWALT DCBL772B 60V MAX Flexvolt Brushless handheld axial blower is the same model, and this listing states plainly that it is tool only. That means no battery and no charger in the box. The title names a brushless motor, which generally runs more efficiently and wears less than a brushed motor.
The listing gives 600 CFM, 125 MPH and a weight of 9.1 pounds, and describes it as cordless and lightweight for home use. Beyond that, it does not specify runtime, speed settings or noise level.
This is the pick for anyone already on FLEXVOLT who wants a clear bare-tool listing. First-time buyers with no batteries should look at the combo kit below or at our guide to a DeWalt leaf blower with battery.
DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Blower & Chainsaw Combo Kit for Full Yard Cleanup
Dewalt
DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Blower & Chainsaw Combo Kit, Brushless, 3-Ah Battery (DCBL772X1 & DCCS670B)
Price and specifications are read from the Amazon product page and can change.
DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Blower &
Best for: Yard owners clearing leaves and cutting limbs
Pros
- Blower and 16 in. chainsaw
- 3Ah FLEXVOLT battery and charger
- Variable speed with speed lock
- Tool-free chain tensioning
Cons
- Only one battery for two tools
- Ships in two boxes
The DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Blower & Chainsaw Combo Kit pairs the DCBL772 blower with the DCCS670 chainsaw. Included components are the blower, the chainsaw, a hard bar cover, one FLEXVOLT 60V MAX 3Ah battery and a charger. The listing notes that it ships in two boxes that may arrive at different times.
The blower side has a brushless motor, 600 CFM, 125 MPH, a variable speed trigger and a speed lock, which keeps the blower running at a set speed without holding the trigger. The chainsaw side has a brushless motor, a low-kickback 16-inch bar and chain, tool-free chain tensioning, automatic oiling with Lubrilink and Lubriwell, a quarter-turn oil cap and a chain brake for kickback protection. Kickback is the sudden upward jerk of a chainsaw when the bar tip catches, and a chain brake stops the chain when that happens.
This kit suits new homeowners with trees and a yard to clear. Both tools share one battery, so you will be swapping it between them; a second FLEXVOLT pack helps if you plan long sessions.
Dewalt Blower AXIAL BRUSHLESS 600 CFM for DCBL772X1 Shoppers
The Dewalt Blower AXIAL BRUSHLESS 600 CFM listing is for the DCBL772X1. The listing gives 600 CFM, 125 MPH, adjustable speed, a throttle lock, a weight of 9.1 pounds and dimensions of about 24.13 by 8.31 by 12.19 inches.
The style field says “Blower Kit Only,” and the rest of the listing does not state what is in the box. In the combo kit above, the X1 blower description is paired with a 3Ah battery and charger, but this listing does not confirm that, so check the included items before buying if you have no FLEXVOLT batteries.
It suits shoppers specifically searching for the DCBL772X1. If you want certainty about what arrives, the combo kit lists its contents in full.
850 CFM Beast Blower Compatible with DeWalt 20V Batteries
Best for: 20V battery owners wanting big airflow
Pros
- Claims 850 CFM and 200 MPH
- Rubber detailing nozzle
- Turbo button and cruise control
Cons
- Third-party ALDIPRO, not DeWalt
- Needs two 20V batteries
The 850 CFM Beast Blower Compatible with DeWalt 20V Max batteries is made by ALDIPRO, not DeWalt. It is a third-party bare tool designed to accept DeWalt 20V MAX packs, and it runs on two of them at once to create a 40V system. It will not run with just one battery, and batteries and chargers are not included. We include it because many 20V owners search for a stronger DeWalt-compatible blower.
ALDIPRO claims 850 CFM and 200 MPH, a brushless motor, a turbo button, a variable speed trigger with cruise control, a rubber-tipped detailing nozzle for drying cars, a weight of 4.2 pounds, battery management protection and a 1-year warranty. These are the seller’s figures, and DeWalt does not rate or warranty this tool.
It suits someone with several DeWalt 20V batteries who wants more airflow than the DCE100 without switching to FLEXVOLT. If you prefer staying with DeWalt’s own tools, the 60V models above are the official route.
DEWALT 20V MAX Blower (DCE100B) for Light Cleanup
Best for: Clearing workbenches, decks and garages
Pros
- Only 2.5 lb
- Three nozzle attachments
- 3-speed switch and trigger lock
Cons
- Just 100 CFM
- Bare tool, no battery
The DEWALT 20V MAX Blower, model DCE100B, is a compact jobsite blower rather than a true leaf blower. It moves 100 CFM at up to 135 MPH, weighs 2.5 pounds, and comes with three nozzle attachments. The listing names uses like cleaning mortar joints (tuck pointing), clearing debris from the ground or overhead, and clearing a work area.
It has a 3-speed switch, a variable speed trigger and a trigger lock-on to reduce fatigue. It is a bare tool, so it needs a DeWalt 20V MAX battery. For more on this model, see our DeWalt jobsite blower guide.
It suits garages, decks, workbenches and car interiors. For a lawn full of leaves, 100 CFM is too little; choose a 600 CFM FLEXVOLT model instead.
How to Choose the Right DeWalt Blower
Check your batteries first. If you own FLEXVOLT packs, a bare DCBL772B is enough. If you own only 20V packs, look at the DCE100B or the third-party ALDIPRO. If you own none, the combo kit includes a battery and charger.
Match airflow to the yard. For lawns and fall leaves, 600 CFM is a solid level. For patios and workshops, 100 CFM is plenty.
Think about weight. The DCBL772 listings give 9.1 pounds (one says 6.9), while the DCE100B is 2.5 pounds.
Consider the whole kit. If you also need to cut branches, the blower and chainsaw combo covers both jobs with one battery.
FAQ
What is the difference between the DCBL772B and DCBL772X1?
Both are the 60V FLEXVOLT 600 CFM blower. The B listing is tool only. The X1 listing does not specify its contents, though in the combo kit the X1 is sold with a 3Ah battery.
Can I use DeWalt 20V batteries in the 60V blower?
The listings do not say so. The DCBL772 is listed as part of the 60V MAX FLEXVOLT system, so plan on FLEXVOLT batteries.
Is the 850 CFM blower made by DeWalt?
No. It is made by ALDIPRO and designed to use DeWalt 20V MAX batteries, two at a time.
Which DeWalt blower should I buy for leaves?
A 600 CFM FLEXVOLT blower. Pick the combo kit if you have no batteries, or the DCBL772B if you do.
Is the DCE100 good for leaves?
Only for small areas. At 100 CFM it is built for workshops, decks and light debris.
