For most yards, a DeWalt 20V MAX handheld blower is the practical pick for Black Friday 2026, since it runs on the same batteries as DeWalt drills. Step up to a 60V MAX handheld or backpack blower on FLEXVOLT batteries for larger lots and wet leaves. Then check whether the listing includes a battery.
20V MAX or 60V MAX
The battery decides the rest. DeWalt’s 20V MAX XR handheld blower, the DCBL722, is brushless and rated at up to 450 CFM and up to 125 MPH with its concentrator nozzle. It shares a battery with the drills and drivers covered in the DeWalt Black Friday guide, so a tool-only blower costs less if you already own packs.
The 60V MAX handheld axial blower, the DCBL772, moves more air: up to 600 CFM at 125 MPH. It runs on FLEXVOLT batteries, which also fit 20V MAX tools, but a plain 20V MAX battery will not power it.
DeWalt leaf blowers to compare
Check the battery platform first, 20V MAX or 60V MAX, so it matches batteries you already own. Then read whether it is a bare tool or a kit with a battery and charger.

Handheld or backpack
A handheld blower is quick to grab for a patio, driveway or deck. The backpack model, the 60V MAX DCBL570, moves the weight onto padded shoulder straps and a waist belt, which helps when clearing leaves takes an hour rather than ten minutes. DeWalt lists Turbo, ECO and Normal modes on it, plus an LED dashboard and a variable speed trigger with a lock.
A rough guide by job:
- Paths, garage floors and grass clippings: 20V MAX handheld.
- A big yard or heavy fall leaf cover: 60V MAX handheld.
- Long sessions on a large property: 60V MAX backpack.
Bare tool or kit
Each of these blowers is sold both ways. The tool-only versions, such as the DCBL722B, DCBL772B and DCBL570B, ship without a battery or charger. The kits add them: the DCBL722P1 pairs the 20V MAX handheld with a 5Ah battery and a charger, and the DCBL570Z2 backpack kit comes with two 60V MAX 15Ah batteries and two chargers.
If your garage already holds 20V MAX packs from a drill or saw, the bare 20V MAX blower is the simple add-on. If you have no FLEXVOLT batteries yet, a 60V MAX blower makes more sense as a kit, since the battery is a large part of what you are buying.
Reading CFM and MPH
CFM is the volume of air the blower moves, and MPH is how fast that air leaves the nozzle. Volume shifts piles of dry leaves; speed lifts matted or wet ones off the ground. When you compare two listings, use the figures on DeWalt’s product page for that model number rather than numbers in a listing title.
A short listing check
Start with the model number and look it up on DeWalt’s site; the letters at the end matter. On the blowers above, a B ending marks the tool-only version, while kits end in codes such as P1, X1 or Z2. Then confirm:
- the condition is new and the photos show the actual box
- the battery and charger are named if the title says kit
- the seller has solid feedback and a stated returns policy
Black Friday 2026 is Friday, November 27, which falls in the middle of fall cleanup in much of the country.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use my DeWalt drill battery in a DeWalt leaf blower?
Yes, in a 20V MAX blower such as the DCBL722. The 60V MAX blowers need a FLEXVOLT battery, so a standard 20V MAX pack will not run them.
Does a DeWalt backpack blower come with batteries?
Only in a kit. The DCBL570B is sold as tool only, with the battery and charger sold separately, while the DCBL570Z2 kit includes two 60V MAX 15Ah batteries and two chargers.
