Pneumatic blowgun

[wildroamer]

Hey gang,
I just ordered an air compressor, and am looking for input on what you all like for a blowgun as attachment for cleaning Chainsaw. Style, etc.
Thanks,
wild

 

[P.M.P.]

I attached a hose to the end of the blowgun that came with compressor works good for me.

I recently used some eBay Bucks on a Vacula blow gun. Some guys on a garage/tool site were raving about it ... I love it.

I'll check it out. With a name like Vacula I'm already sold!
My new compressor isn't coming with anything @PullinMyPoulan, also going to try one of them Rolair noodle hoses.

What compressor did you buy

I had a Typhoon blow gun at work for years till I accidentally crushed it. Another one is on the list. They'll blow stuff clear into next week.

What compressor did you buy

I ordered a little CAT 4610A. I was looking hard at the Rolair JC10, but thought 2 1/2 gal tank was maybe too small. The Cali Air has 4.6 gal tanks, only 5 lbs heavier than the JC 10, and same 60 dB spec.

I've been using a few different HF blow guns with no problems.

Ugh, I'll type this again. I've had the old style Vacula for almost 18 years, still works. Acquired a couple knock offs that have cracked at the plastic where the metal tube joins the body.

Just ordered one like @Agent Orange posted only with rubber tip. We shall see. Hope the tip wasn't a mistake...

I didn't know air guns were such a hot topic? I just use the regular ole coilhose ones like this....

ditch the safety tip and install whatever type of end I need......I have a bunch with all different ends

ive never really likes that style...all that plastic doesn't seem to last around me, and you cant change the tips....
the ones I posted have the 1/8" NPT threaded end so you can add whatever you want to the end...a lot of mine are setup with male quick disconnect water fittings to blow out the water jackets on injection molds...

Get these off the tool truck

 

[wildroamer]

Well, if it breaks or sucks (instead of blows!) I'll try one like you guys have.

That's basically the one I have, Probably have four different kinds laying around. I have a long reach one that I never use much. The one you have pictured stays on the hose all the time unless I put an air inflation chuck on it. never had any trouble with it and it's several years old.

I do lots of blowin on air filters an *s-word seems the more I pay the quicker they die or I lose em... Runnin a walmart job bout like ol man can't showed it's acceptable
