Blow leaves off a sidewalk/driveway? Yes.
Blow leaves out the yard? No way.

This has it's uses but it's not a replacement for a leaf blower (nor was it meant to be). I bought one earlier this year from HD and it's served it's purpose well. A few things I've used it for:
-Blowing off the riding mower before putting it away
-Get grass clippings/leaves out the landscaping rock after mowing.
-Blow sawdust off the shop floor/work piece after cutting
-Clean out the truck bed after hauling straw, mulch, etc. I have a bedliner so all that crap gets stuck in the grooves. Works better than a broom.
-Inflates/deflates an air mattress like a hot damn. Like flat-to-full queen size in 20s or less.
-Blows crap out the vent holes under your car hood, in the trunk lid, etc.
-Gets an outdoor fire pit going in no time flat. Just feather the throttle and it's like a fireplace bellows on steroids. Just don't do this... [youtube.com]

Basically, I use it for stuff I don't want to drag out the air hose or leaf blower for. It's plenty powerful for the weight, and I don't end up smelling like exhaust or having my hand go numb like using the two-stroke leaf blower.

I do wish Ridgid would make an actual landscape blower because I think it would do pretty much all the things this blower does and more, but Ridgid has a pretty terrible/non-existent lawn tool selection right now.

It's a shop blower. Too small for yard work

No, it's useful for jobsite cleanup, not for leaves.

Is this useful to blow leaves? Not sure it is powerful enough.

That Ridgid cordless Brad nailer set is a good deal at $120 + shipping. Couldn't resist. The nailer itself is $159 on direct tools. This nailer set with the battery and charger goes for $229 right now on HD.com

The shop blower is $10 less but now it has $9.99 shipping. Shipping was free on Monday. It is the same price after shipping. (Well, it is one cent less today.) It is a better price only if you order more than one item so that the $9.99 shipping cost gets spread over multiple items.

The shop blower is not $10 less. Shipping was free on Monday and now there is a $9.99 shipping charge. It is the same price as it was Monday. It is only less if you order more than one item and spread out the shipping charge.

It was 139 on Monday so it's $10 cheaper all in

I have this blower and it's more powerful than I expected. I use a backpack blower for large volumes of leaves in the lawn, but this works great blowing out the garage, driveway, and even small volumes of leaves on grass. To me it's a no brainer for $25 if you already have some Rigid batteries to go with it.

Yeah. I just tried to delete my comment but cannot. I misread that yours was referencing the nailer and I was looking at the comments regarding the mini/shop blower.

I have a DeWalt shop site blower and it is awesome to blow out the garage, camper or to clean up my mess when I work on something. The DeWalt has a variable trigger and a 3 speed selector. Definitely not good for leaves but I really like mine for cleaning up. I thought it was a worthless tool until I had a contractor at the house who used one and realized the benefit of these smaller blowers.
