Compact Electric Blower

[mikejames]

I got this compact blower for less then $30 from Amazon and used it today after a wash. It did a great job blowing water out of the mirrors, front grill, wheels, license plates, fuel cap area, and all the body crevices. The size of it looks like a kids toy, but has good power and is well worth the money. I like that it has a black soft rubber nozzle so it won`t damage if you bump something.

Very nice!

Thats awesome. The hard plastic nozzle on most left blowers is the biggest reason I don`t like using them near paint.

This type of small blower has been the industry go-to tool for drying motorcycles for a long time.
It is able to blow water out of those small little crevices without fear of damaging any chrome parts.
There is a "brand" (that escapes me at this point in time) that has been the motorcycle go-to for years.
This appears to be a "knock off" of that "brand" but for $30 bucks it`s worth the coin, if it is treated right.
The problem is that once the rubber tears at the machine housing (it`s only rubber) it`s pretty much done.

I bought one very similar to that from Costco a few months back. It was about $30 or under if I remember correctly. It`s been working great so far for getting the crevices nice an dry before polishing or waxing

Hey Ken how are you doing?
I like the blower I have because it`s really small, light weight, easy to maneuver, soft nozzle and variable speed. I have power next to my wash bay so no problems here. My new vehicle even has a 110v plug which makes it handy also.
