Will pebbles or rocks vacuumed damage this machine?

Craftsman Electric Blower 3-in-1 - 12 A - 450 cfm - 260 mph - Backpack is rated 3.0 out of 5 by 279.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Larry from Attention !!! Read this it works Like alot of other comments I bought the blower took it home and it would not start. The instructions don’t make it real clear but the blower cover has like a safety built in it. If you close the cover and don’t turn the inside ring clockwise until you hear a click it will not start. So when you close the cover make sure you turn clockwise until you hear a click and it start every time

Rated 5 out of 5 by KAntoniak from Amazing Blower! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Craftsman 12 Amp Corded Blower/Vac/Mulcher exceeded my expectations! It is so lightweight and versatile, making yard maintenance much easier. Set up was a breeze and changing the attachments is easy. The bag is large enough to hold a lot of debris and isn’t bulky or cumbersome. The vacuum mode is strong and it sucks up debris so easily. The blower is powerful to blow even wet materials away with ease. This is by far the best yard tool I have in my arsenal now to keep my large yard looking great all year! I definitely recommend it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Susan from Something is Wrong I bought this for my small yard. Loved the backpack feature! Used it several times as a blower to clean gutters and blow leaves out of rock landscaping and it worked well. Plenty of power to get through even packed down leaves from winter. Today I hooked it up to vacuum up some DRY leaves in the rocks and it shocked my hand right at the plastic handle. I tried it again and as soon as it encountered more than a tiny amount of leaves it shocked me again. Ouch! It never did that when blowing only when vacuum was attached. I hate to return it but perhaps it's a defect in mine and I could get a replacement.

Rated 3 out of 5 by WesR from Lacks power I like the machine overall. It turns general leaves and debris into finely chopped pieces and dust. However, it can't handle sweet gum seeds and turns them into little wooden balls which fall out (see photo). Yountville have to rake those! Also, a crucial part to connect the discharge hose was a cheap tie lock, which lets the hose slip out of place. I had to make a repair to my almost new machine. If I had it to do over again, I'd invest in a more powerful one, since I have two big sweet gum trees.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mway from Poor Quality I was looking forward to using this after my 15-year-old Toro died. When I unboxed it there was a rattle in it that was a bit alarming but when I put it together the blower worked but I only used it about 5 minutes. The next day I put the vacuum attachment on it which was a chore and when I turned it on I felt a shock in my hand. I immediately turned it off and thought I was imagining it. I turned it back on and got shocked again. I am very disappointed in the quality of a "Craftsman" product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Godlessjarhead from Shocking Experience I chose this over other types because of the "backpack" style collection bag. I noted many of the negative reviews were related to improperly aligning the collection tube to activate the safety switch. It is there to prevent it from running without the guard (blowing), or tube (debris collection) installed. It worked well enough. I should have taken heed of the reviews about getting shocked by this thing. It is not an electrical issue, but rather static build-up from poorly selected plastic materials (probably the tube and impeller). The shocks are severe. You just don't know when it is going to hit, but every so often it hits you like lightning. Returned it and got a different brand and style. Store was cooperative through the ordeal, but this really needs to be recalled before someone with a weak heart gets killed by it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by JLee from Risky and Shocking I am on my second one. I bought one of these and was getting shocked while holding it around the power switch area. Took it back and got another. The same thing is happening. Now I cannot return at this point. Not sure why Craftsman would put something like this on the market. This product needs to be improved/removed from the market. Craftsman should also provide existing owners with a new/improved model or reimburse. Even a small shock can cause a problem depending on who the user is.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bnixon from Great Vacuum Mulcher My old Toro was working well, but seemed to get clogged and the hanging bag was bad for my back, so I decided to try this given the backpack bag. I bought it on Friday, and used it for 3-4 hours on Saturday and Sunday to clean leaves and it worked great. Less back pain and a powerful vacuum. It jammed only once when I ingested some acorns, but otherwise was jam free, but something required a push of leaves stuck in the funnel. Unlike my Toro, I never had to disconnect the funnel or bag to clear it. Capacity is good and I can fill a large 30-gallon brown bag with 2-3 backpacks full of leaves. It is a decent weight. Not lightweight, but also not a burden and I used it one handed most of the time. My only compliant is that I wish the base of the funnel pickup was wider.
