Abstract
Blower attachment that attaches to a drive unit having a long driveshaft, such as, for example, a lawn trimmer typically used in garden and landscape maintenance. The blower attachment has a housing and an impeller that rotates therein. When coupled together, the drive shaft drives the impeller in the blower attachment. The rotating impeller causes an intake of air through an inlet in the housing. Air is expelled laterally from the housing through air outlets in the housing, blowing a stream of air horizontally across the ground.
