I had been using it to dry out the joint between the shower walls and floor before caulking, using the crevice tool. After vacuuming, I decided to switch ends and try the heated air to blow out any residual moisture and hopefully get it bone-dry for good caulk adhesion. I was seriously impressed with both the volume and pressure. Come Spring, I`m going to fit some filter material to the discharge end and give it a trial after a wash job.
Not a Metro-Vac by any means, but I`ve only got $100 in the whole package, so we`ll see how close it comes. It`s definitely easier to handle than my leaf blower.
