How to Get the Leaf Blower in Find The Needle
The Leaf Blower is purchased from the advanced tool shop for in-game cash earned from clearing hay or completing Chapter 1. Once bought, equip the Leaf Blower from your inventory into an active hotbar slot and hold down the primary action button to direct a high-pressure air stream that displaces dozens of hay flakes per second without having to carry them to the sell cart.
