Cordless Leaf Blowers

[Cambridge PC Support]

I live in a 2nd floor apartment, and can't really be using my corded DataVac up here. So I'm looking for portable alternatives.

I don't want to go down the compressor route, so I'm looking at cordless leaf blowers, in particular this one:

which is about £80 in the UK.

Does anyone else use cordless leaf blowers?

Sorry Kev, I can't comment on the leaf blower, as I don't use them.

One thing which I would look at, is how much air it moves in comparison to the datavac.

Is it not feasible to use the datavac, if you built an enclosure, together with a vacuum to remove said dust and debris?

OK cheers Nige. I'll have a root around here and see what I can find on enclosures. I do love my DataVac

I'm the same Kev. It's been a long time since I used a can of air. Still have a couple left, I occasionally sell to a client, but thats it. Datavac all the time.

Even started wearing a dust mask now. Some of the machines coming in, are FULL of dirt/dust, and lately its been getting on my chest

I'm gonna keep saying this every time these threads pop up.

For your safety, especially in a building with other tenants, do NOT BLOW PC DUST INTO THE OPEN AIR INSIDE A BUILDING.

Get yourself a good, small aperture, high velocity vacuum. Even a 5hp shop vac reduced down to the electronics nozzle is better, something like a Miele is dramatically better yet.

Obvious really, but I guess for some people it's the kind of thing that they only do the once
