Equip your landscape or property-maintenance crew for routine cleanup with the Milwaukee 3017-21HD M18 FUEL cordless leaf blower kit. Its 18V POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers up to 500 CFM of airflow, 120 MPH air speed and 12.2 N of blowing force to move leaves, grass clippings and light debris. One M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE HD12.0 battery and one M18 & M12 Rapid Charger are included, giving you the blower, battery and charger in one complete kit.
Fast response for everyday landscape cleanup
The blower reaches full throttle in under one second, so you can start clearing promptly as you move between areas. The combination of airflow and air speed suits the finishing work that follows mowing and trimming, including clearing clippings from paths and gathering loose leaves on paved areas. Cordless operation lets you move around a property without a power cord, fuel mixing or a pull-start routine.
Adjustable airflow and balanced handheld control
A variable-speed trigger lets you adjust output to the debris and area in front of you. For longer passes, the ambidextrous sliding lock-on holds your selected speed without continuous trigger pressure. The balanced handheld design and ergonomic handle help you guide the blower through routine cleanup work.
The 54 dB(A) bystander sound rating provides a useful reference when comparing equipment for properties where noise matters. Milwaukee specifies this rating under ANSI B175.2; the operator's manual identifies a 50 ft measurement distance. It is not an operator-ear exposure rating or a guarantee of compliance with local noise restrictions. Follow the manual's hearing-protection requirements.
M18 FUEL technology with a FORGE battery included
POWERSTATE brushless motor technology works with REDLINK PLUS electronic control, which enables communication between the blower and battery to manage performance and protection. The blower accepts all Milwaukee M18 batteries and is optimized for REDLITHIUM FORGE packs, so it can work alongside other M18 equipment in your fleet.
The included HD12.0 pack provides 12.0 Ah capacity. Milwaukee's runtime chart lists approximately 19 minutes at full throttle or 30 minutes at three-quarter throttle with one FORGE HD12.0 battery. These are application-dependent figures, not guaranteed working times; use them as a guide when planning a cleanup route and battery changes.
The supplied Rapid Charger accepts both M18 and M12 batteries. When two packs are inserted, it charges them sequentially, completing the first before charging the second. An M12 battery is not included, and the blower itself uses the M18 platform.

Ideal Applications
- Landscape contractors clearing grass clippings after mowing and trimming.
- Property-maintenance teams removing loose leaves and light debris from walkways, patios and paved grounds.
- Grounds crews performing routine outdoor cleanup around commercial properties.
Use only as directed in the operator's manual, with the required eye and hearing protection. Keep the blower out of wet conditions and do not use it to disperse hazardous dust or chemicals.
