Looking for a good blow gun.
Pistol grip kind with several different tips. I know Snap On carries one but I can't seem to find it anymore and the tool guy is dragging is butt on it too.
Ideas?

None of those are what I'm looking for.
I know Matco has a kit but I was looking for Snappy since I'm going to do an order from them.

Last one on that page is what I'm trying to get.
The different tips are handy when air checking transmission valve bodies and also blowing out water lines for winter.

Picked up one of these (http://www.wescotools.com/p-373-curved-bendable-blow-gun-3547-by-k-d-tools.aspx) today from eBay for $15. Works great.

That is the type but I'm looking for a kit that has a couple different tips as well. I'm tired of trying to seal the end of something with a rag in order to blow it out.

The Acme Typhoon blow gun is the best I've used. Snapon sells them or you can get them from most online tool dealers. I know TheToolWarehouse sells them.

I was looking at these in the Snap-on catalog and I couldn't figure out the difference between "vented" and "non-vented" blowguns. Anyone?

I think it's OSHA compliant or not. The vented ones will vent if you stick your finger on the end of it.

OSHA says a blow gun cannot have over 30 psi at the nozzle. Vented ones, when plugged at the nozzle, vent off air thru the vents, reducing nozzle pressure to 30 psi. I have seen non vented ones that have stamped on the side of them "max inlet pressure 30 psi" which is their way of getting around OSHA.
Pressurized air on your skin is dangerous, thus the limitations on it.

Guardair Venturi Nozzle Guns are what we used in the food industry with great success. They are rebuild-able an can be had in many different lengths. Up to 72" is if I remember. The have the proper OSHA safety tip and can be used with nearly any pressure you can possibly come up with.

I use a 6 dollar campbell hausfield from wal mart with a 10 dollar blue point rubber tip.
