Astro Pneumatic Tool 1717A Deluxe 4" Air Blow Gun with 1/2" Removable Tip, Green

Quality Blow gun. Works as it should. Great value

I work at a dealership and this is very handy for drying and cleaning things out . Good size and have not experienced any leaks . Good quality on pare with my coworkers snap on blow gun

I bought this to replace a no-name blow gun that I'd gotten at a garage sale years ago. The no-name worked fine but the plastic body was slowly disintegrating. It had begun to slowly leak air and I was afraid that one day it would simply blow apart. For less than $10, I bought this. I've used Astro tools before and have been pleasantly surprised at the balance between cost and performance. The advantage of this type of air nozzle is that the long trigger makes it easy to throttle the airflow, from a trickle to a full blast and anything in between. I also like having the screw-on rubber tip, which is very secure and which was missing from my old nozzle. I used this all weekend while doing projects in the garage. It worked exactly as expected, and it feels more solid than a typical no-name blow gun. Plus, it doesn't leak-- I can leave it plugged into my air hose without hearing the compressor cycle back on every hour or two. For less than $10 at the time I purchased it, this is a good deal.

Pros: It works as intended. Surprisingly sturdy construction despite being an inexpensive and lightweight plastic blow gun. Very fairly priced like all Astro tools. Cons: There is a very stiff spring in the trigger that makes it uncomfortable for prolonged use. If you just need a quick blast of air here and there this will work fine; for prolonged use, such as drying off a wet vehicle before doing bodywork, using this is an uncomfortable chore. This is not a particularly high volume blow gun either. For that type of use I'd reccomend a better unit such as a Typhoon. This will make a good backup unit though.

The blower design deserves 5 stars. Its high quality and really makes the absolute most of whatever pressure you put through it. Their is a BIG downside though. The blower nozzle that comes with it is an actual safety hazard. The rubber loosens up and comes off, which wasnt a big deal to me, but if you put it back on, It will come back off when you blow air through it, immediately. It shoots of at an insane speed because its so powerful. I had it pointed at my leg area when it happened and the rubber hit my leg, and it hurt like a paintball gun. We were shooting it across the shop at work because we were so amazed of how fast it flies.

Great quality air nozzle at a great price. I have had many of these type of air blower, but most are bad quality and leak. This one is outstanding quality. No leaks at all, even with a full tank of air. I finally had to replace my old Matco brand air blower because the plastic broke after 25 years of use. I went through 3 different brands of blowers and they all leaked. One broke on the second day of use. I then found this one and I couldn't be happier, I can leave it attached to the hose with a full tank of air (5 gallon tank with 170 psi) and come back a day or two later and still have a full tank of air. The rubber cap is excellent, seals completely. Great for cleaning carburetors and such.

This air gun works great

Good
