Air blow gun

[Caddybill]

What are you guys using? I've had a harbor freight one and the threads craped out. I'm not knocking HF just wondering what the consensuses is.
Something like this http://www.harborfreight.com/safety-tip-air-blow-gun-68263.html

That I can change the tips.

I just picked up a Legacy Cyclone. Very powerful.

I also have a HF and a Milton one that I use too.

I have a GuardAir Lazer model. GuardAir is based out of Western Massachusetts and makes a good amount of their guns there. The Lazer is made overseas but it is still very nice and very smooth casting and operation.

the good alum/brass tube milton's. have about 6 of em, took out the safety orifice. have other milton bodies that I thread pipe ******* on for various tasks, make tire inflators, etc. worth the cost new IMO, but mine all came from a past job.

Are you recommending the 150, 160 or either? or some variant?

I'm looking for better one too.

131 for regular work, body only is 151. they can be had with rubber tips too.

Typhoon blow gun. Puts out huge amounts of air. Almost too much at times other than cleaning and sweeping.

So with the Milton 131 you can remove the tip and replace it with other parts like a ball needle or just a blow nozzle?

I like the Milton S-107--compact, simple & effective design. I've used one since the late 70's and highly recommend it.

no, you have to swap out the entire brass tube part. they do come with rubber tips but I think it is overmolded on the tube. the tube is threaded like 3/8 pipe, so I have screwed pipe ******* on adapted to various things, including a counter pressure co2 beer bottle filling device...

I too have one of these.
Moves tons of air. Feels good in the hand and is built really really well.
I have a hunch its gonna be in my box for many many years.

My favorite, its compact. I am not a fan of pistol grip air blow guns right now. I like this one because it fits in my palm and is very low profile and has a long shaft. Only $11. I like the bronze look. Its a Milton S153

We use guns similar to these in the cabinet shop at work. 1/4" in & out with the blowgun on the side. The in is always attached directly to the hose & gets a quick coupler on the out. So the other tools plug into it & it's always handy when you need it. We have other blowguns for special purposes that plug into here when needed, but these work for 99.999% of the tasks. It's nice to have them always ready.
