Forget about those big shop air compressors for your daily dust removal and cleanup needs.
Using a shop compressor for most tasks is overkill, and akin to driving a huge, gas-guzzling pickup truck, to transport a few bags of groceries, when a compact car or SUV will more than suffice.
No more need to overcompensate, because this rugged little device packs a huge punch.
Whatever the task, I’ve yet to find any job this USC-C powered air duster cannot handle. In fact, you should be warned that for some items, it’s best to turn the power down. In testing the, I knocked a small tape measure off a desk using the Carbinox Powerblast. It was pretty amazing to see something that heavy, fly off the desk, with just air.
Using a 130,000 RPM (revolutions per minute) brushless motor provides powerful airflow for drying car exterior surfaces, clearing debris from a desk a car interior or even leaves on the ground. And yes, it works for cleaning clearing dust from wristwatch, sensitive electronics, workspaces, and virtually any area where dust accrues. You should definitely not a use this around an exposed digital camera sensor, as the power could easily ruin the flimsy sensor, and similarly, you don’t want this going near small watch parts, as they will fly off the workbench. That said, all areas that will not be disrupted the sheer force, are fair game with the Carbinox Powerblast.
There are four distinct power settings ranging from 35,000 to 70,000 rpm plus a dedicated overclocking mode for maximum air duster pressure of 130,000. The 4,000 mah battery only lasts about 20 minutes with heavy use, but that’s more than enough for many tasks. And it recharges very quickly using the built-in USB-C connection.
As an extra, there’s a relatively powerful LED light built-in to the bottom of the pistol grip, that allows you use this as a flashlight, or to check your dusting work in low-light conditions.
Final Thoughts
The Carbinox Powerblast Electric Compressed Air Duster easily replaces environmentally harmful disposable cans of compressed, not to mention large shop air compressors (in some instances). There are lot of random brands making versions of these, that can be found on Amazon and eBay and what not, but this brand, appears to be one of the more reliable makers, and backs it with a lifetime warranty. Not to mention, the case feels incredibly durable and well built, and reminds me of Canon’s professional L-lenses, which combine metal and high quality plastics and rubber to deliver tank-link tools, without the weight of a 100% metal chassis.
Retail is about $60. Learn more at Carbinox.
