I've been using one of these all year. Small and blows over 200mph. Works great for the professional. Never tried nor had the need to use the vacuum on it though.



Check it out. Lot easier than pulling out the big leaf blower. :xyxthumbs



Would've posted about it earlier in the year but I found mine at a wholesale place and never thought about checking on the web for it until today.



It's one of my favorite tools :D
 
I currently use a 15 year old 160 mph craftsmen electric blower. Granted its not as snazzy as the newer 200+ mph blowers, but it gets the job done. If I wasn't getting a wet/dry vac that had a detachable 265 mph blower for christmas, I would probably pick one of these up considering they're only 20 bucks. That thin-ended nozzle also looks really good for blowing out cracks and wheels.
 
I have three of those, varies brands. They do a good job, especially for the price. But, using one takes about 10 min to do my bike totally, whereas my Black Baron takes two minutes flat.

And I urge you..do not use it as a vac! Just as leaf blowers and shop vacs, there is not filter...what goes in will eventally come out. I never laughed as hard as when a buddy showed me how he used a leaf blower on his truck.....it sucked a bee in and splattered it against his door.

Thanks,



I just ordered one. For $20, I couldn't pass it up.

Yes it is a deal far too tempting but dammit ! our electricity is 220V and I cannot use it no matter how good a bargain it is... :wall
 
I might have to get one of those...didn't Bill D get something like this from Pep Boys? Looks a lot easier to drag an extension cord around the car than drag the hose from my Air Force Blaster...although I don't know how heavy that thing is...
 
I received the blower today. When I saw the small box, I was concerned but I attached the nozzle, added on an extension cord and cleaned the floor of my garage. For $20, you can't beat it, I will try it on my car over the weekend. I was surprised that it makes less noise that I expected. :)



In the box was a small plastic bag with two identical parts- a spring with a metal piece at the end, what is that for? :nixweiss

Yep, mine doesn't have accessories to make it into a vacuum though. Mine was half that price. It comes in a nice zippered shoulder bag. As a matter of fact, this past summer I saw one for a similar price at Big Lots. Might want to check there first as it might be a good bet they stocked more for the holidays.

What part of the store, Bill? Automotive or elsewhere?

:think: You're living in a trailer park? What did I miss? Or is there a word missing? I actually don't like Big Lots much and wanted to nail down the dept. so I wouldn't have to wander around the place. I don't know how the thing can't be worth a try for $10.

Yeah, Big Lots blows. I feel like I live in a trailer park when I'm in there.
 
I've always referred to it as "The Dump" but sometimes there are goofy, yet decent finds there. I got my BMW Isetta and Messerschmitt diecasts there. Never saw them any where since.
 
When, When will you guys stop?? I said no more after the Steamer thingy last month and now this.



I'm addicted I tell ya, I can't help myself from buying more stuff. I may need to check in to Detailers Anonymous.
