DeWalt 20V MAX Handheld Blower vs DeWalt 20V MAX XR Handheld Blower

These are the same tool: the DCBL722B 20V MAX brushless handheld blower, sold under two listings with identical 450 CFM and 125 MPH figures. Buy whichever listing is the actual DCBL722B kit, because the tool, motor and nozzle are the same. Owners like the light weight and the variable-speed trigger with speed lock, but the 3.3-out-of-5 rating reflects a common complaint: it moves light debris well and struggles with wet leaves or heavy piles. Neither is a substitute for a backpack blower on a big yard.

• Choose the DeWalt 20V MAX Handheld Blower if the listing confirms it is the DCBL722B with the concentrator nozzle and you already own 20V MAX batteries.
• Choose the DeWalt 20V MAX XR Brushless blower if you want the listing that names the DCBL722B part number outright, so you know exactly which tool ships.
