Background

The Craftsman Blower 358.794944 is a gasoline-powered device known for its durability and longevity. Manufactured by Poulan/Weedeater for Sears under the Craftsman brand, it is a versatile tool that is utilized for blowing and vacuuming debris. The blower is equipped with a throttle lever that allows the user to control the engine speed and stop the engine when necessary. For optimized operation, the blower features a primer button that removes air from the carburetor and fuel lines, filling them with fuel to enable easier engine startup.

Moreover, the blower has a choke lever designed to supply additional fuel to the engine to aid in cold starting. The blower is built to operate at reasonable hours, delivering optimal performance without causing disturbance. It is designed to operate at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job, thus reducing noise levels. The blower is also beneficial in conserving water as it can be used instead of hoses for many lawn tasks. Despite its powerful performance, the blower maintains a strong focus on reliability and repairability.
