KiCA jet fan

[JimFZR]

Hello all. I’ve been seeing ads recently for these handheld electronic dusters. The videos on YouTube look pretty impressive. The one I see the most is the KiCA jet fan (Amazon link below).

Has anyone ever tried one of these? Obviously no substitute for my air compressor, but I couldn’t help but think that it could be convienient for blowing off tools, workbench, small parts, etc without having to fire up the air compressor and wait for it to fill up.

Thank you.

45mph air speed....Must be a great product for producing static electricity to ruin electronic chips. I would not use this on any computer part.

I have this exact same model. The small little nozzle to me doesnt seem to work as good. I just use it without the nozzle and use that power. My only issue is the run time, is running it full speed the battery does not last all too long.

Perfect for cleaning off keyboards and my computer stuff, no issues. They do make some pretty quick blowers that blow air specific to computers with air speed so no issues with the speed.

That is what I intended to use it for too… quick dusting of small parts like my keyboard. Thank you.

There is another one listed on the same Amazon page that says it is 200,000 RPM! Do these things have oil lubricated bearings or something?
