Electric Blower Option

[Little D]

hi Guys

Does it matter which electric blower you buy or are some brand Conscious?

[NRudloff]

What are you going to be using the blower for?

[Deranged_9n3]

Would asume drying wheels, grilles, mirrors etc

I guess no specific brand, I am using a ryobi for 2years now

[Le Clue]

Karcher Vacuum cleaner...It has a blow function.

[Little D]

only for drying.

thanks for input

Disappointed now

No worries bro
I realized now that this is the detailing section.

So i am in the wrong.

I got one from Checkers for about R200 when they were having the DIY sale.
It blows, so I guess it does the job

[Little D]

Yeah thought as much, as long as its air, who cares

I use a little electric one I got from Vish http://www.pristinedetailing.co.za/prod ... actor.html. I have no complaints with it and its relatively small size is a plus.

IMO the only thing you really need to be conscious of is trying to dry a car with a petrol blower - you obviously don't want all the exhaust fumes and stuff being blown onto the car, so electric all the way!

I haven't used it on the car yet, only detailed my PC with it so far

It literally caught me by surprise as I was shopping with the SO. Without hesitation I was like "we really need this, will help with cleaning up the yard"..
Needless to say, item was added to cart

3 days later, whipped it out to test on the car and the SO was like "I thought that was for the yard"..

Power cable is too short, only gets as far as the car's boot

extension cord to the rescue.. but its abit too cumbersome with the extension cord/reel thingy. so I may extend the cord of the blower. need to find a neat solution, hate those insulation tape connection jobbies. need to get the proper connectors.

[NRudloff]

Use heat shrink instead of insulation tape?

[ULTIM8M-ZN]

Use heat shrink instead of insulation tape?

That may do the trick... Will pop by Builders and see what solutions they have for electrical connections.

First month i push the wife to "lets go shopping" and i get turned down cause she studying and will go early after her exams

Taught i could add the blower into the trolley this month
