Looking for a leaf blower bracket

[Greenlawnracing]

I'd like to hang this Ryobi leaf blower in the space between my tool box and cabinet as illustrated with me hanging it up for fit.

I'm having trouble finding a bracket or finding inspiration to build one. I though that one similar to my weed eater would work, but can't seem to find one wide enough.

Robot or human?

Google tells me that you can make something via 3D printing, but apparently it is for a different model.

It does need to hang with the handle facing out.

Thanks!

I have that same blower, i hate it. Anemic on regular speed (like it has copd), effective on high speed for 10 min until the battery dies. Wish i had bought something better. Its good for blowing out the garage, not much else.

Piece of rope in a loop around the grid shelf above and just hang it by the handle.

if yours is the same as mine and has a slot in the bottom of the handle kind of like a picture frame, pick up a GRK screw with a big head. sink it most of the way and leave it 3/8" proud. Done. My Ryobi blower has been hanging vertically that way for a year now, its the best solution IMO

edit: just saw the bottom picture, i must have the level up. Solution: buy the better one AND a GRK screw, and sell this one

The flare for the fan at the back ought to make a fine suspension point. get a plank or strip of plywood that is 2" wider than where the body pinches inward from that fan bezel and make a 90deg bookshelf support bracket sort of thing, with diagonal wedges to support the top and cut a U-channel into the top piece big enough to socket the back of the body into it. So it hangs nozzle down, by that fan flare.

I think I have a slightly different model which I hang side-on to the wall on some long pegboard hooks thru the handle opening. With another long peg down low on the nozzle to keep the whole thing from pivoting around the top hooks.

I'm having trouble picturing this. Do you have a similar example you can share?

So that is exactly what I'm looking for, one that will allow me to mount it to the wall similar to this weed eater.

However I'm having trouble find one wide enough, which appears to be the case in the links you provided.

I walked around the ailes of HD the other day, have not yet visited Lowe's yet

You can use two and mount them close enough to act as a larger bracket.

I just drill a hole at the end of the blow tube and hang on a nail or screw.

the loop of rope is the way all my tools hang off my pegboard
between the adjustability of pegboard and different sized loops I can put the tool at any height

It looks like the leaf blower is a little wider towards the rear, how about something like ours.

Looks darn near perfect. Link?

Looks homemade to me. Threaded rod, tubing, flat bar and a nut.

I bet you could “adjust” this one to suit your blower.

This is my wife's leaf blower, I welded a piece of 3/8s threaded rod to a piece of 1/2 x 1/8" inch flat stock. Drilled a couple holes in the flat stock and screwed them to a piece of plywood and then screwed it to the wall. I covered the threaded rod with some old air line and put a 3/8s nut on the end of them.

I noticed in the picture that they look like they're at an angle but they are sticking out straight from the plywood.

Time to bring your metal working skills out of the closet.

That picture is exactly how I have hung my weedeaters. I use the different style of hangers for shovels, rakes, other yard tools, hoses, cords, and even my small folding lift for the zero turn mower.

Beware of hanging that vertically and how you support it. I have a Stihl leaf blower that I hung on a K rail hook vertically using the hole in the handle part and the weight over time caused the plastic resting on the hook to crack and break. I don't know if it was the winter cold that accelerated the process, but everything was good at end of fall, and broken plastic when spring came around. You could run into the same issue if you have a single skinny support bracket that you hung it in contact so that all the weight is on the bright yellow plastic near the 40V label.

Since then I've gone to hang the leaf blower by the handle horizontally.
