I've seen these before but google isn't coming up with what I'm looking for. Want to get a blow gun that has a 12 to 16" long metal tube at the end of it that can be slightly bent to fit what I am working on. Would be even better if I could make multiple tubes for it to use for different things. Anyone have or recommend something like this?

There's the ever popular Milton ones. I have the long (24"ish) and short (6" pictured). Are you looking for something flexible that you can actually bend to suit?

Guardair makes a flexy one. Ranges from 12-36". Not familiar with this exact model, but Guradair makes top quality tools in my experience. For the Ultimate, Silvent makes a couple too, but you'd have to re-mortgage the house for those ones.

I made a couple; one from bendable copper tubing and another from a brake line. I used brass plumbing fittngs to attach them to my air trigger.
What fitting did you use to be able to use brake line? That would be exactly what I'm looking for.

I have a couple of guns with 1/8" pipe threads for the nozzle. You just need an adaptor from 1/8" pipe to what ever end you have on your pipe.

I made a couple half a century ago using 1/8 NPT x1/4 compression fittings and 1/4 copper tubing. blowing out air filters was easy if the tubing was bent just so and the compression nut was loosened so that the tubing would spin like a helicopter. Made these when taking a break from making hash pipes for friends. most important part is an air gun with pipe threads on exhaust side.
