[OT] Best thing since sliced bread

I wonder why they didn't think of it years ago...

Recently went to get canned air at a local store, I couldn't believe it was $20.00 for 3 cans of 9oz air

Found a few more deals online, but shipping was a consideration. Then I found this:






I will never need to buy canned air again
This lil electric duster can is light to hold, comes with attachments, and is sooo powerful.

I blew the fuse the first time I used it
Note to self: Do not plug into a strip - use outlet directly

I found more uses for it too besides my computers.. cleaning ceiling fans, camera equipment, etc.

What a great invention

Re: [OT] Best thing since sliced bread

Good deal,

I been looking for a long time for something that is good at blowing.

I wonder if it can blow up balloons?
Would be great for kids parties as well.

How much? Where buy?
You can find it between $47-$49 at Amazon & elsewhere
I figure 5-6 cans of air will equal it out & it will have paid for itself

Amazon: »www.amazon.com/Data-Vac-ED-500-E···01J4ZOAW

Re: [OT] Best thing since sliced bread

Nice You'll like it Mark..I'm sure
I wish they came out with this years ago..

FYI: It has a lil filter on the bottom that pops out. I used scotch tape to clean it, but it can be washed too..it's just a small round foam piece

 Hummm.... so this one works pretty cool then?

All my crunchers in storage are going to need blown out
before I put them all back together. The fans and heat-sinks are just coated. Not to mention all the projectors that need a good cleaning before they get remounted back on the ceiling.

Was thinking of using a combination shop vac to suck up the clumps and an air compressor to blast the fine stuff.

I might check this out if it really does that good of a job.

 So then, I was giving this 'good blower' some more thought.

After it does its job as a 'good blower' , where does all the dirt/ and dust settle?

You still need a 'good sucker' if I am not mistaken?

So the question presents itself, is it better to have a 'good blower' or a 'good sucker'?

Slava.. you know you need to vacuum after

Vac's are good, but can cause static discharge, need to watch for that, though the practice is widely used.

I've found tons of things to dust off besides my computers, that used to be a huge job - and now is easier

Correct. That's what the specs say, anyways.
It's just dry, filtered air

Re: [OT] Best thing since sliced bread

I'm still finding ways to use it

That price is about right..and it's usually found at camera stores.
One thing I noticed is the little round black filter at the bottom..needs to be cleaned after every use.
It pops out, though & takes 2 secs

Enjoy!
