Background and Identification

The Black & Decker FT1000 Type 1 is an electric leaf blower.  Black & Decker released this model in 2008. This leaf blower includes a flexible blow tube, joystick control, and a comfortable shoulder strap.  The leaf blower weighs in at approximately 5.4 pounds and is an ideal tool for clearing leaves, grass clippings, and debris from the home. The FT1000 Type 1 blower emits a lower level of noise. The cord retention system ensures that you won’t accidentally unplug the leaf blower while working.

The FT1000 Type 1 leaf blower has an orange body with a black blow tube. There is a large Black & Decker sticker on one side of the main body. You can find the model number, along with product details on the other side of the main body. Black & Decker discontinued this product and has introduced several leaf blowers and sweepers since.
