Yup. Sometimes it just needs that overkill. The garage I used the leaf blower in belonged to a relative and hadn’t been cleaned in well over a decade, and after I got done with all the heavy work of moving all the shelves and boxes around I didn’t have much enthusiasm for the good sweep it really needed. Plus the leaf blower got all the cobwebs I couldn’t reach under and around the shelves, win/win. There was a water softener but no hardened salt anywhere, fortunately.
I don’t know if you’ve seen this kind of second handle, that’s just an example (non-affiliate link), but for straight handled tools that also need force they’re a back saver.
