Titbits - Something for the Workshop

Awell-equipped home workshop will likely contain an air compressor. These relatively cheap and simple items of equipment come in very handy for a large range of workshop uses from powering air tools, inflating tyres, air drying parts and clearing debris before disassembling components. This last use is extremely important but what if you do not have an air compressor? There is a very cheap alternative that is surprisingly effective – a hand bellows blower. This little two dollar tool does a surprisingly good job of blowing dust and debris from difficult to access areas – it is more effective and far less hazardous than the old ‘close your eyes and blow’ method. Pick one up next time you are in your favourite auto store – you may be surprised at how much use it gets.

A high capacity blower. Really only better than the hand bellows blower for when you are wanting real blowing power, a mysteriously trampled motorcycle insurance claim, or socially controversial piano keys*.
