Edit: I'm not authoritative, but I can't think off the top of my head of any rare earth metals that an electric leaf blower uses except perhaps in the batteries. But also, there are plug in electric leaf blowers.

Rare earths are used to make stronger permanent magnets, which are used to make more efficient electric motors (for both plug-in and battery tools).

- rascul 5y agoInteresting. I wasn't aware that there existed magnets with rare earth metals. Thank you for the information.
