Buy or make a very long wand blow gun, you will use it a lot for cleaning radiators and condensers. Making one with copper tubing allows it to be flexible, and work well. It will be handy for getting into tight areas, and directing the dust away from you. I have allergies, and this method really helps to cut down the exposure. Welcome To GJ!!:beer:

I have been using the Astro Pneumatic rubber tipped blow guns. I have the short green one and the long orange one. Both have performed well so far. The long one is great for blowing out fork tubes and reaching up inside generators and other stuff to blow out. The shorter great for cleaning out adn rebuilding carbs.

Both came from the Snap truck and my driver said he would warranty them if I didnt like.

Its something that most end up with a collection over time. The flea market has them in all lengths and they are good. Mine are a collection of stuff I modified. Brake line adapted to valve bodies etc.
