This assortment of tool deals will help: we've got deals on a dazzling variety of leaf blowers, weed whackers, and hedge trimmers. Refurbished Poulan Pro 25cc Gas Leaf Blower/Vacuum Vendor: VM Innovations Price: $49.99 via coupon code "BV14OFF" with free shipping Lowest By: $27 Is It Worth It?: Not only do you get this refurbished gas leaf blower/vacuum at an Editors' Choice price of just $49.99 after the coupon, they throw in a bonus leaf bag, too! (It's $75 under the lowest price we could find for a new model to boot.) This Poulan product features 200mph airflow velocity, a 25cc motor, a vacuum kit, engine oil, and more. It requires a 40-to-1 2-cycle oil-to-gas ratio. This blower is really easy to set up, and the lack of an electrical cord means that you can roam freely over your property. A 90-day VM Innovations warranty applies. WORX Cordless Yard Tools Sale Vendor: WORX via eBay Price: From $32 with free shipping Lowest By: At least $25 Is It Worth It?: When you buy refurbished items, you're taking a risk with the quality, so it's good to know that you're getting a 2-year warranty, as is the case with these WORX cordless yard tools, whether they're new or factory-refurbished. The WORX WG112 12" Electric Trimmer Edger (pictured) costs just $32 and has a quick spool change system and a telescopic shaft that you can adjust to your height. Plus it has a 90-degree tilting shaft so you can orient the cutting head for sloped and difficult-to-reach areas. Best of all, you can convert back and forth between trimmer and edger modes. But if that doesn't grab you, make sure to check out these other WORX tool deals. 12.5-Foot Aluminum Telescoping Extension Ladder Vendor: ID Rack via eBay Price: $97.50 with free shipping Lowest By: $6 Is It Worth It?: Clearing your lawn of leaves can be a breeze.

Mintcraft 21" Hedge Shears Vendor: Hardware and Tools Price: $9.59 with $6.30 s&h Lowest By: $1 Is It Worth It?: These shears feature a Teflon-coated, hard chrome blade finish and round steel telescopic handles with comfort grips — those grips are really easy on the hands.
