R1S pro tip for snow removal -- securing a leaf blower using tie down point

[duessell]

Let's say you want to keep your Ego leaf blower in the back to blow snow off your R1S but you don't want it to slide around while driving. You can position a tie down point to hold it in place perfectly.

I like it, I wish our snow was light and fluffy enough to blow off.

Is there a risk to some sort of shock when using that for snow removal? Thought I read that somewhere but maybe it was bro science. I bought one this year and wanted to give it a shot.

We get all kinds of snow here and this probably only works for fresh snow.... And this 765 cfm blower is a beast. I park in garage at home so I don't typically have to remove more than an inch or two from the vehicle.

I wouldn't use it in rain but it's rated IPX4, same as my ego snowblower. And given what I'm likely wearing when handling it in snow, 56 volts isn't too troubling.

Doesn't that have to be locked with the ammunition in a separate box?

The blower snaps onto the tie down clip? Wow, that’s convenient.

Doesn't really snap in but it's a perfect fit. It's not going to stop you from lifting it up but it's just snug enough that there will be no rattles or sliding.
