This video was so incredibly well done, not only did I buy a blower to use at our shop (and now feel confident in my decision) through your amazon link, but I just placed an order for your Stubby Nozzle on there as well. Great work.
EXCEPTIONAL Comparison - very scientific, and Very Appreciated - Thank you! Based on your findings, I ended up choosing the Greenworks 730 as it was in the top 1-3 in most categories, but especially the most salient (for me): Performance: Airflow, and Air Speed, plotted against Time. In addition, the Greenworks design appears more robust: has greater protection of the Battery and its connection to blower via a Full Enclosure/Plastic Housing. For me, the quicker I can blow water droplets off the car in the first 5 Minutes or so, the better, especially in this summer Heat! Ended up with a Stubby Nozzle for it, too ;) Thank you again 🙏
Yes, I just watched the video and it seems like the green works it’s the best option! But the stubby nozzle takes down the CFM so I don’t know if it’s a good idea
@@josemadrazo3131 the Greenworks 730 is definitely a top tier blower for car drying. The increase in MPH gained by using a STUBBY nozzle is more important than the drop in CFM.
Excellent product! I use the Stubby Nozzle with my EGO blower. It works great to dry off my Porche Macan. I love the soft tip to protect the paint when I accidently touch the car with the blower.
Best and most informative video I have seen on this subject. Too many other presenters appear to be influencers and do not present the information that is important. Thank you! Strangely, I like washing my cars and am always on the lookout for another toy for that toolbox.
Like all the other comments, what a fantastic job you did. I truly appreciate the time, effort, and dedication it took to do such an in depth test, and then graph the results.
I appreciate how clearly you explained your testing process and then gave us the results. Made the video more concise, believable, and easier to follow to the end.
I have the Dewalt 60V blower, and I bought your stubby nozzle. I love the way yours ome off without tools as opposed to th oem nozzle that needs a screwdriver and is very awkward to do. If you were to make a full siize nozzle with your toolless release, I would be your first ustomer.
Excellent comparison video. Large selection of the most common brands that a regular DIYer will find at most local hardware stores Highly detailed explanation of tests, procedures, and conclusions. Job well done, sir.
I've never seen a product comparison/review that was done any better than this one for ANY product. This was so thorough. Amazing. Thank you. I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THIS PAST COMMENT CONGRATS ON THIS VIDEO OMG ! REALLY NICE COMPARISON IF EVERY COMPARISON VIDEO WAS LIKE THIS... OMG CONGRATS!
Amazing video. Appreciate the thorough information and analysis. I purchased the Stubby for the Ryobi 730 before even purchasing the blower. Can't wait to use it.
I love the idea of blowing off a full car, but I also really love using a drying aid to add some protection when toweling off the car. currency I'm just using a mini blower to blow out any trapped water. I'm looking into using a spray on rinse off protectant and if that works well then I may have to upgrade the blower.
Just ordered the tube and the bucket stand to Hong Kong, it’s a set of gift for my detailer. He’s always working so hard and got issues with his joints so hopefully the blower won’t have him kneeing too much!
I got the manufacture refurbished GreenWorks with 2.5Ah and rapid charger from eBay for $72. The box somehow has an extra 4.0Ah battery. I'm not complaining, it was like winning the lottery. It's heavy but it's so strong compared to my single-battery Milwaukee (bye, going to miss you)
@@StubbyNozzleCo I reviewed it and its does quite well and packs a punch for such a small form factor being only slightly bigger than a drill.. If you could use that or a Ryobi 730 then there is no comparison at all and the 730 will blow it away. It is also has a very loud and high pitched sound which is its only real downfall. It is the best compact out there though.
This video is perfect and I'm surprised it didn't show up in my TH-cam search when I looked for best blower for car drying, but did show up after I looked for a snub nose on the Ryobi 730. You might want to check your statistics and tags on TH-cam, because for how high quality this video is I'm shocked to see it only has 200 views
This was EXTREMELY helpful... I'm a VERY detailed person who tries to do my very best to research and only purchase the best from the start. So perhaps I get some of that from being a former Apple Sales Mgr, then Operations Director, but I don't say that to sound boastful in anyway... but rather as a compliment to your level of details... LOVE it!!! This saved me from getting into a whole new EGO battery system for their minimal gain compared to just getting another Makita product (where I started off w/only buying their LTX 6.0Ah batteries). So I'm sure my run times will be pretty good, as well! 🤓 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 👍😇 And I will be ordering your Stubby Nozzle, and I'll need to write y'all about your BucketCaddy (that looks very interesting, but I just bought new DetailFactory blushes that only go on smaller hooks). Anyway, thank you so much again. So happy I found your company!!!
@@StubbyNozzleCo You are most welcome... I joke, "that it's always easy to state the facts" (me and my "sayings" that I have being in my mid-50's now). 😇 But it was my mom that used to say, "Tony, if you think of an honest compliment, you should say it, as it just might make somebodies day." But I guess now days a person has to be careful at times. ha ha 🤣 As I'm sure my wife gets tired of my compliments to her, but there are so many nice things that come to my mind all the time. So perhaps it comes from having old parents... as my mom was 43 when she had me (and I was their one and only! 😳 And mom's "honest compliment saying" came from my grandpa (who I'd never met but was also a well loved pastor). Well, I don't mean to give you any eye strain, but again I really respect and appreciate your detailed work. P.S. Previously, I didn't really say where I was the Operations Director before... but it was Throttle Design Mechanics where we were blessed to work with clients like Meguiar's (before John sold to 3M), BASF, Industrial Finishes and Summit Racing to name a few... so anyway, I'm going to be sending a few notes around. See if maybe I could point a few folks your way... like being the Pacific Northwest Regional Rep that you didn't even know you had. ha ha 😂 Thanks again!!!
Please make a nozzle for the M12 Compact Spot Blower. Or tell me if any of the current production models will fit onto the M12 Compact Spot Blower. Thank you!!
Kudos to a very impressive set of tests and comparison...the best out there! I just picked up the Ego 670 which comes w/ a 4ah pack...not sure if they tweaked the older 650 or if its the same unit with different marketing hype. The appealing part is Lowes has it for a limited time on sale for $229...its $217.55 if you have their card. That makes for an impressive $1.74 - $ per mph and $.35 - $ per cfm. A huge bang for the buck. Ordered your stubby nozzle yesterday and can't wait to try it...keep up the great work Brother! 👍
Gee this is a top rate video. Thank you so much for such thorough testing. I love the graphics which I’ve screenshot to compare. Do you sell the short nozzles to the UK?
Thanks! All of the comparison graphs are available on my website (link in the video description). I do offer international shipping. If you’re interested in the STUBBY nozzle for EGO blowers then check out our retail partner, @YumCars, who are based in the UK.
This is one of the best comparison videos I have seen. Ryobi 730 has been my choice, but I am comparing to an Ego 765 as they are the most popular for drying cars. I will be sending my viewers here for these very detailed tests. Ryobi does not last as long, but the combo deal usually comes with two 4AH batteries so the package is basically double the run time just an annoying battery change to deal with. Thanks again for the great testing and I have several of your stubby nozzles.
By far man one of the best videos on this subject! Would love to like do a video like showing them blowing off an SUV like my Denali. But, you've helped me figure or narrow down my choices. Once again, thank you for the info!
I bought the Milwaukee single battery and your Stubby for it, but still use my corded Worx Turbine 800 CFM leaf blower to dry my cars. It’s just way more powerful and faster. Wish you made a stubby for it.
That Worx blower is on my todo list! If you fill out the STUBBY nozzle request form on our website, you will be notified when it becomes available. stubbynozzles.com/pages/stubby-nozzle-request
I just wash my own car in front of my garage so I picked up a Worx corded blower and even found a stubby nozzle for it on Amazon. Those blowers are like $60 and really push some air for cheap. No batteries to deal with either, in my experience they're never charged when you need them and they cost lot's of money. Great video by the way, lot a great info!
Good points. I only use my cordless tools to do diy, and often they're low on charge when I wanna use them LOL If you're not good at planning ahead (charge in advance), corded is probably the way to go

Hi, great review, thanks for all the details, a must power tool to dry a car after a wash. By the way great car , I have the RS4 what an engine ! Many thanks
Great job and great data analytics skills! I’ll be using your review to buy one of these blowers knowing I’m making an informed decision thanks to you! Thank you very much 🙏
Ryobi seems like a great tools on paper but when tested the last thing you want is decreased performance as the battery life dwindles..starts off strong then the performance just gets worse and worse then the battery dies, no thanks. The consistency of the Milwaukee is worth the price.
The video i wanted but didn't know I needed. I know you more or less said I didn't need to buy a dedicated leaf blower . . well too late . . . I also picked up one of your Stubby Nozzles.
Awesome video brother! I currently have the makita small turbo looking blower. I wanted to get the ego but after you mentioned the battery part I may go for the makita big boi with your nozzle since I have 3 batteries!
I would like to see how the Flexvolt batteries as well as the Powerstack batteries change the performance on the 20v DeWalt models. Great video. Can't wait to see an update to include the aforementioned batteries.
Super useful video, objective comparisons and data-driven results. Awesome work! I was disappointed to see how poorly the Milwaukee blowers performed as I already have a few of their brand tools
Airflow (CFM) on its own doesn’t equate to power. The combination of airspeed (MPH) and airflow does. For car drying, you want high air speed and adequate airflow to “fling” the water of the paint. Don’t knock it until you try it!
@@StubbyNozzleCo I'm definitely interested thats why I'm going through these videos to make a decision. Right now i'm thinking the Ryobi 730 since low db with high output is important for me. This video has a lot of information, thanks for putting it together!
No, the car doesn’t need to be ceramic coated. However, any type of hydrophobic coating (e.g. ceramic, wax, sealant, etc.) will make the job much quicker and more effective.
Here’s the Amazon link - a.co/d/8kYhnhS However, you can save 10% and not have to pay sales tax (if you live outside of GA) by buying directly from our website and using discount code STUBBY10 - stubbynozzles.com/products/stubby%e2%84%a2-car-drying-nozzle-for-milwaukee-m18-fuel-dual-battery-leaf-blower-2824-20
Are there micro water droplets left behind that wont get blown off? have a feeling if you use a leaf blower to dry your whole car your almost gonna need to towel dry the whole thing because of that..debating whether i want to go down that route..taking a small gauntlet and drying some spots isnt a big deal but doing the whole car over with a drying towel would defeat the purpose for me.
That is the question. If your vehicle is ceramic coated and you use deionized water you can just blow all the nooks and wheels and most of the body and be done with it, or you can just walk away period which isn't easy 😂 but with d.i. water it really is that easy. No d.i. then blowing definitely helps to remove a lot of water and from nooks therefore making for a real quick towel dry, maybe with a drying aid if you like, I sure do.
BRAVO my man! This was the BEST test I have ever seen! Luckily I already have the Greenworks 80v blower in your test, so just need the stubby adapter... Will be ordering soon
I would love to get a Stubby Nozzle for the new Dewalt DCBL777 when it comes out! I'll have to make sure to check the website often to see when you'll have those in stock. Thanks for the awesome video and all the comparisons. Great work!
@@StubbyNozzleCo Yup, I'd be very much interested in your test. I'm considering a blower for drying the car myself and I'm not (yet) locked to any patricular 18V+ battery system. Dewalt looks good with FlexVolt system but I'd like something that is closer to real 600 CFM performnace
@@EndiFreeKolesio I’ve been using the DCBL777 and offer a STUBBY nozzle for it but haven’t done the same detailed performance testing. Will likely make an updated video with more blowers later this year. It’s definitely the best blower offered by DEWALT for car drying.
@@hendralesmana826 if you already own batteries for a certain tool brand, buy the most powerful blower for that brand. If you’re starting from scratch, I would recommend the Greenworks 730 CFM blower.
Glad to found this test. As well as the snub. This is the king of videos of quality and susbstance. I’m using a RIDGID 105 MPH Cordless GEN5X 18-Volt. Would you offer a snub for this blower? It could be the same as the Ryobi 550.
QUESTION: I have 3 Milwaukee M18 batteries but only the 5ah ones. Worried your testing of the Milwaukee single showed only 2.5 CFM compared to others about double or more than double that and therefore I believe the drying performance or speed of drying a vehicle will take double the time comparing to others in the 700CFM range. Would you buy a Milwaukee single or the Ego 765 with an extra battery since I have 3 vehicles to do at home. My vehicle is also NOT coated. Thanks. Fantastic testing! Did every conceivable test to help us choose what is right for us. Thanks
Thanks for the nice feedback! If I were you, I would buy the new Gen III Milwaukee 3017-20 that was recently released. It's more powerful and quieter than the Gen II Milwaukee 2724-20 single battery blower featured in this video. Here's the link to the product page for the STUBBY nozzle. stubbynozzles.com/collections/all-products/products/stubby%E2%84%A2-car-drying-nozzle-for-the-gen-iii-milwaukee-m18-fuel-single-battery-leaf-blower-3017-20
@@StubbyNozzleCo Thank you. I did see that model online during my research and already asked Carzilla when they will have the Stubby in for that blower. With your recommendation, I will be buying that blower. Carzilla said the Stubby nozzle for that blower is on order and will have it in 2-3 weeks!
ik heb de ego 765 met 7.5 ah werkelijk super heb heel wat bladblazers van stilh op benzine en accu gehad maar dezeego model verslaat ze allemaal ego best from all
Thoughts or any tests on the Toro 60V? I don't have an electric blower, but I could go with either a Toro or Dewalt because of batteries I already have.
It looks like it has pretty decent specs. A STUBBY nozzle has been highly requested for that blower and I have added it to my roadmap. If you want to be alerted when it becokmes available, please fill out this form. stubbynozzles.com/pages/stubby-nozzle-request
Great question! This is a common concern but shouldn’t be. Unless you were to hold the blower a couple inches above the ground, you’re not going to suck up anything that will cause damage to your paint. Hundreds of professional detailers use leaf blowers with our STUBBY nozzles to efficiently dry off their clients vehicles without concern for damage. Hope that helps!
I've never seen a product comparison/review that was done any better than this one for ANY product. This was so thorough. Amazing. Thank you.

I bought an EGO do dry my car. I found out it also works to blow leaves and debris off the driveway.
@Todd.T @StubbyNozzleCo Does the EGO blower have any additional foam "air filter" way back/behind the hexagonal/honey-comb screen at the air inlet?
@@user-tt6hu5pq9f No. I would guess that would impact the max speed. It will suck your shirt against the hexagonal screen when it's on high if you aren't careful.

Ryobi seems like a great tools on paper but when tested the last thing you want is decreased performance as the battery life dwindles..starts off strong then the performance just gets worse and worse then the battery dies, no thanks. The consistency of the Milwaukee is worth the price.
The video i wanted but didn't know I needed. I know you more or less said I didn't need to buy a dedicated leaf blower . . well too late . . . I also picked up one of your Stubby Nozzles.
Great video by the way 👍🏼 😊
Awesome video brother! I currently have the makita small turbo looking blower. I wanted to get the ego but after you mentioned the battery part I may go for the makita big boi with your nozzle since I have 3 batteries!
Remarkable review!! Thank you!
I would like to see how the Flexvolt batteries as well as the Powerstack batteries change the performance on the 20v DeWalt models.
Great video. Can't wait to see an update to include the aforementioned batteries.
Super useful video, objective comparisons and data-driven results. Awesome work!
I was disappointed to see how poorly the Milwaukee blowers performed as I already have a few of their brand tools
Thanks for compliment! Milwaukee tools are great but their blowers definitely aren't the best.
Adding the stubby nozzles drops the power by 200 cfm? in that case i would just keep the stock one lol
Airflow (CFM) on its own doesn’t equate to power. The combination of airspeed (MPH) and airflow does. For car drying, you want high air speed and adequate airflow to “fling” the water of the paint. Don’t knock it until you try it!
@@StubbyNozzleCo I'm definitely interested thats why I'm going through these videos to make a decision. Right now i'm thinking the Ryobi 730 since low db with high output is important for me. This video has a lot of information, thanks for putting it together!
Any info on the Echo? $169 at home depot.
Do the car need to be ceramic coated to use leaf blower method to dry?
No, the car doesn’t need to be ceramic coated. However, any type of hydrophobic coating (e.g. ceramic, wax, sealant, etc.) will make the job much quicker and more effective.
Oh baby! Nicely done with the intro
Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to get these numbers!
Happy to help!
Clear and informative video. Thanks so much for your hard work!
I can not find the Milwaukee duel battery blower stubby attachment on Amazon and the like is for the blower it self
Here’s the Amazon link - a.co/d/8kYhnhS
However, you can save 10% and not have to pay sales tax (if you live outside of GA) by buying directly from our website and using discount code STUBBY10 - stubbynozzles.com/products/stubby%e2%84%a2-car-drying-nozzle-for-milwaukee-m18-fuel-dual-battery-leaf-blower-2824-20
Ryobi has a new model of blower for car drying which is more portable for the job.
Great video... Already have the Ryobi 550, would love to get a stubby nozzle for it. Any progress on having that one available?
Are there micro water droplets left behind that wont get blown off? have a feeling if you use a leaf blower to dry your whole car your almost gonna need to towel dry the whole thing because of that..debating whether i want to go down that route..taking a small gauntlet and drying some spots isnt a big deal but doing the whole car over with a drying towel would defeat the purpose for me.
That is the question. If your vehicle is ceramic coated and you use deionized water you can just blow all the nooks and wheels and most of the body and be done with it, or you can just walk away period which isn't easy 😂 but with d.i. water it really is that easy. No d.i. then blowing definitely helps to remove a lot of water and from nooks therefore making for a real quick towel dry, maybe with a drying aid if you like, I sure do.
BRAVO my man! This was the BEST test I have ever seen! Luckily I already have the Greenworks 80v blower in your test, so just need the stubby adapter... Will be ordering soon
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it.
will you be making one for the new DCBL777 soon?
I would love to get a Stubby Nozzle for the new Dewalt DCBL777 when it comes out! I'll have to make sure to check the website often to see when you'll have those in stock.
Thanks for the awesome video and all the comparisons. Great work!
I pre-ordered the DCBL777 a few weeks ago when I first heard about it!
@@StubbyNozzleCo Did you get the order?
@@EndiFreeKolesio for the DCBL777 blower?
@@StubbyNozzleCo Yup, I'd be very much interested in your test. I'm considering a blower for drying the car myself and I'm not (yet) locked to any patricular 18V+ battery system. Dewalt looks good with FlexVolt system but I'd like something that is closer to real 600 CFM performnace
@@EndiFreeKolesio I’ve been using the DCBL777 and offer a STUBBY nozzle for it but haven’t done the same detailed performance testing. Will likely make an updated video with more blowers later this year. It’s definitely the best blower offered by DEWALT for car drying.
This doesn't even belong on youtube, you should have it published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Haha, thanks for the kind words!
Im running carwash,which one most recommended mostly for hard work,cos a day must dry many car
@@hendralesmana826 if you already own batteries for a certain tool brand, buy the most powerful blower for that brand. If you’re starting from scratch, I would recommend the Greenworks 730 CFM blower.
I think with the db reading having the meter closer than 14 inches when you start the blower is affecting your readings
Thank you for your nice studies ❤
Thanks for doing all the work involved.
Sure thing! Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
Props for making this video!
no air force results for the Kobalt??
Glad to found this test. As well as the snub. This is the king of videos of quality and susbstance. I’m using a RIDGID 105 MPH Cordless GEN5X 18-Volt. Would you offer a snub for this blower? It could be the same as the Ryobi 550.
@@erm000 please fill out the STUBBY nozzle request form on my website!

Best video ever upload. Tks for sharing, now I got it clear....
Glad you found it helpful!
do you plan on making a version for the new milwaukee m18 blower, 3017-20 or the makita 40V blower GBU01M1?
Yep, working on it now!
@@StubbyNozzleCo lmk when you release them,... thx
Awesome and very well done review, thank you!
what about the wind speed or CFM when the blower has no stubby nozzle or original tube? Thanks!
Good idea! I'll include those numbers in an update video.
Yes indeed because that's how they test them.
Any plans on a stubby for the Ryobi 550?
My apologies. I should have listened more closely.
@@cm.5023 yep, currently in the works! If you fill out the stubby request form on our website, we’ll email you once it’s available.
QUESTION: I have 3 Milwaukee M18 batteries but only the 5ah ones. Worried your testing of the Milwaukee single showed only 2.5 CFM compared to others about double or more than double that and therefore I believe the drying performance or speed of drying a vehicle will take double the time comparing to others in the 700CFM range. Would you buy a Milwaukee single or the Ego 765 with an extra battery since I have 3 vehicles to do at home. My vehicle is also NOT coated. Thanks.
Fantastic testing! Did every conceivable test to help us choose what is right for us. Thanks
Thanks for the nice feedback! If I were you, I would buy the new Gen III Milwaukee 3017-20 that was recently released. It's more powerful and quieter than the Gen II Milwaukee 2724-20 single battery blower featured in this video. Here's the link to the product page for the STUBBY nozzle.

@@StubbyNozzleCo Thank you. I did see that model online during my research and already asked Carzilla when they will have the Stubby in for that blower. With your recommendation, I will be buying that blower. Carzilla said the Stubby nozzle for that blower is on order and will have it in 2-3 weeks!
ik heb de ego 765 met 7.5 ah werkelijk super heb heel wat bladblazers van stilh op benzine en accu gehad maar dezeego model verslaat ze allemaal ego best from all
Would this apply for a truck too?
@@topgun2877 nope, only cars 🙃
Does the nozzle on your website work on the second ryobi blower shown? (At 1:38 in the video)
Will you offer a Stubby for Enhulk 930 also can you review it against the top claimed blower , Thanks
@@oscarpena4514 where do you live? Enhulk isn’t available here in the US.
Hey I have a Ryobi blower I see the short nozzle there where can I get that short nozzle thnx
Why there’s no stubby nozzle for Ryobi 550
Im still waiting for the vacuum nozzle adapter
Thank you 🙏🏽
Great information… I am curious why you didn’t include the Ridgid line of blowers. Do you offer stubby tips for them?
Not yet but it’s on my list
wondering why there isn't one for Ridgid.
Thoughts or any tests on the Toro 60V? I don't have an electric blower, but I could go with either a Toro or Dewalt because of batteries I already have.
It looks like it has pretty decent specs. A STUBBY nozzle has been highly requested for that blower and I have added it to my roadmap. If you want to be alerted when it becokmes available, please fill out this form.

Very cool! Thank you
Great video and very helpful. What is that pressure washer you have on the shelf?
Glad to help! The pressure washer is a Sun Joe SPX9004-PRO which I believe has been discontinued.
No Makita XGT 40v blower?
Not yet, but it’s on my list!
Are you ever going to restock for the dewalt?????
We have plenty of STUBBY nozzles for DEWALT blowers in stock. What website are you on?
How do you make sure you won’t suck up any little stones? (and other stuff from the enviroment)
Great question! This is a common concern but shouldn’t be. Unless you were to hold the blower a couple inches above the ground, you’re not going to suck up anything that will cause damage to your paint. Hundreds of professional detailers use leaf blowers with our STUBBY nozzles to efficiently dry off their clients vehicles without concern for damage. Hope that helps!
Nice job. Did you happen to utilize the "turbo" mode on the EGO 765 (or any other blowers that have a similar mode)?
@@Mudinyeri thanks! Yes, all tests are performed in the highest speed setting including Turbo mode, if applicable.
Any idea when the Kobalt version is coming? I need one.
