WORX WG582.9 40V PowerShare 780 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower, Tool Only
Existing WORX PowerShare owners who already have 20V packs
The WG582.9 is the bare-tool version of the WORX 40V QuietTech blower, rated at 780 CFM, 190 MPH and 57 dB with a variable trigger, cruise control and a Turbo button. It ships with a concentrator nozzle only, so two 20V PowerShare packs and a charger are a separate purchase.

Fit and limits
Strengths
- Rated at 780 CFM, 190 MPH and 57 dB at a bare-tool weight of 5.85 pounds
- Continuous variable speed with a cruise control dial, not fixed speed steps
- Uses PowerShare packs shared across WORX 20V, 40V and 80V tools
Caveats
- No battery or charger in the box, and two 20V packs are needed to run it
- Three-year warranty requires registration within 30 days, or it drops to 24 months
- The 60-minute runtime is a low-mode figure on WORX's own category page
What the point-nine suffix actually gets you
WORX's In the box panel for the WG582.9 lists exactly two items: the blower itself and one concentrator nozzle. There is no battery and no charger, and the listing says so in its item highlight line as well. The listing's own what's-in-the-box bullet is shorter still, naming a leaf blower and an air tube.
That three-way wording is worth untangling before you order. WORX's panel calls the second item a concentrator nozzle; the listing's included-components field also says concentrator nozzle; only the listing's bullet calls it an air tube. The manual's component diagram names a blower tube and a concentrator nozzle as separate parts, so check what arrives against that diagram.
Everything else on this listing describes the same machine WORX sells as a kit under the model number without the suffix. The listing's manufacturer part number and model number both read WG582.9, the manufacturer is Positec Technology (China) Co., Ltd, and the UPC is 822465351394.
You need two batteries, not one
This is a 40-volt tool in the PowerShare system, which WORX builds from 20-volt packs. Its page explains the platform directly: one battery runs handheld 20V tools, a second snaps on for 40V tools like this blower, and further packs reach 80V products. A single 20V pack will not run this blower.
WORX quotes runtime against a specific pair. Its page says the blower provides up to one hour of runtime with two 4.0Ah PowerShare Pro batteries, so that is the combination the figure describes. Smaller-capacity packs will not deliver the same time, and the page publishes no figure for any other pairing.
There is a condition on the hour, too. WORX's own leaf blower category page states the WG582.9 line as up to 60 minutes of runtime in low mode for medium yards. Low mode is the qualifier the product page leaves out, so treat 60 minutes as the low-speed number rather than a working average.
The output figures, and how they are measured
WORX rates the tool at up to 780 CFM of air volume and 190 MPH of air speed from a brushless motor, and gives a noise level of 57 dB. The listing repeats all three in its title, bullets and specification fields, and the maker's comparison table on the listing shows the same numbers in the WG582 column with WG582.9 named as its bare tool model.
That comparison table also names this model's control scheme. Under speed control settings the column reads continuous variable speed, and it marks the high capacity air nozzle row with a tick for this blower. WG582.9 is named in the table as the bare tool model.
One marketing figure needs separating from the measured ones. Both WORX's page and the listing's A+ content describe 28 cc gas-like power, which is a comparison to an engine displacement rather than anything measured on this tool. The measured claims WORX publishes are the CFM, MPH and decibel figures above.
Weight: two numbers for two configurations
The listing gives an item weight of 5.85 pounds, which is the bare tool as shipped, without batteries. The maker's comparison table on the same listing gives 8.94 pounds as the unit weight with battery for this blower, so expect roughly three pounds of batteries once you have added the two packs the tool needs.
WORX says the battery sits behind the handle for better balance and pairs that with low recoil and a lightweight design. Neither WORX nor the listing publishes a balance point or a bare-tool figure of its own beyond the two weights above.
Dimensions on the listing are 41.2 by 10.7 by 8.2 inches, and the listed material is polypropylene. The listing's wattage field reads 160 watt-hours, which is what two 4.0Ah 20-volt packs come to rather than a motor rating, and its part number and model number both read WG582.9.
Trigger, cruise control and Turbo
Control is continuous rather than stepped. WORX describes a variable speed trigger that you adjust and then lock in place with cruise control, plus a one-button Turbo for an instant boost. The manual's component list names the same parts, including a turbo button for power boosting and a cruise control dial.
For a bare tool buyer that combination matters in one specific way: with no batteries supplied, a locked low speed is what stretches a pair of packs, and WORX's own 60-minute runtime figure is quoted for low mode on its category page.
Neither WORX's page nor the listing states how long a Turbo boost lasts or whether it ends on its own, and the operating section of the manual could not be read as text here. If sustained top airflow is the reason you are buying, check the printed manual before committing.
Warranty, registration and who it covers
The listing publishes no warranty term, saying only that the manufacturer's warranty can be requested from customer service. WORX's own 3 Year Limited Warranty statement fills that gap, and it comes with a condition attached to the headline number.
WORX says the three-year term is available with product registration, either online or by completing and mailing the card found in the original packaging, within 30 days of purchase. Without registration, it says only 24 months will apply, and a valid receipt showing the date and place of purchase is required either way.
The exclusions matter more than usual for a tool-only purchase. The warranty applies only to the original purchaser and may not be transferred, and it excludes tools used for trade or professional purposes or for rental. Batteries and chargers carry their own three-year cover, which is relevant because you are buying those separately. A replacement tool continues the original warranty period rather than starting a new one, and WORX says you may be asked to pay shipping in both directions.
