  • I dont know if this is the best place to ask, but lets try. I would love to have compressed air at home to use for things like cleaning electronics and drying small parts like bearings. Unfortunately having a compressor is not really an option, and would prefer not to have a large cylinder of compressed air hanging about.

    For the occasional use I was thinking about getting a tubeless tyre blaster, and getting an airbrush attachment. At 11 bar (Schwalbe booster) thats well enough air considering how long a spray bottle of compressed air lasted.

    Any issues with this idea?

  • Are you sure it would last long enough? I don't think it lasts long, also quote powerful.

    You can buy compressed air in a can form for your purpose. Have a look, not suitable?

  • I've used compressed air in a can before, and it was great! But wasteful in the long run. Aerosol cans are typically max 10bar at 20'C, and schwalbe's tubeless thingy can take 11 bars and doesnt look much smaller either. The idea came from

    I really like the electronic dusters, but they sound single-purpose. Defo one for consideration, I'll look into them!

    @hugo7 If I had a workshop When I'll have my workshop in 4 years time, it'll 100% have a compressor tucked away and plumped in so that I can use pneumatic tools and have unlimited air to dust stuff. Its "unfortunate" that we're a DIY inclined & creative household with 7 bikes, 2 3D printers, 2 sewing machines, patterns, fabrics...etc in a two-bed. The compressor has to wait :)
