Did not do to much today but finish up repairing a few things that I use in turning. I broke my cheap northern tool blow gun with its extension so I put it back together and used 2 ton epoxy to hold it. I then went out to the air and hose shop here locally to buy a section of hose with fitting to go from my compressor to a new hose reel I bought from Northern Tool.
Picture 1 - the hose reel I bought and I really like it........5 5tars
While I was at the hose shop one of the workers demo'd a blow gun they have at the shop and for sale. The Mfg is Coil Hose Pneumatics - it is called the Typhoon - I was impressed at how powerful it was - cost $20 plus another $12 for the extension. There are several extensions you can buy and two types of guns - one made of steel and the other aluminum. I bought the aluminum one it was lighter to handle. I can blow the garage out in a second and it plenty powerful......................5 Stars
Pictures 2-6 - The Typhoon blow gun
When I got back home a package was there with some refillable spray bottles I bought for touch up and small turnings and finials. I was not impressed and found the spray patterns poor even when thinned down by 1/3. I would say they would work well for WD-40 or something like that but not lacquer or varnish. It will hold up to 150psi with a safety blow off on it but when the tips are on it just does not spray in a fan pattern like the store bought Deft or whatever.
