Windstorm Air Blow Gun

I spent a lot of time researching the available options for blow guns and finally decided on this one. It was maybe $8 more than the typical, cheap ones that seem to be widely available, but I felt that it was worth paying a little more for a good quality product. I am glad I made this choice. I bought this is clean off the coils under our refrigerator because I could only do so much with our vacuum because none of the attachments were long enough to effectively reach the coils. The tool worked perfectly for that purpose and I'm sure I will find lots of other uses for it in the future. I will also note that this tool should be the last one I'll ever have to buy because it is very solid and well made. It is a high-quality product and well worth the price (or more, in my opinion). Also, for anyone who may be wondering, the tip DOES have a clean silicone tip on it. Some pictures showed it with one and some without, so this was a plus. As to the flow control dial, it does not operate like a typical valve that turns from MIN to MAX. Instead, it rotates 360 degrees and simply is at minimum airflow when the two '-' symbols are parallel with the handle and maximum airflow when the two '+' symbols are parallel. You can vary the airflow between the two points as well. I set it to MAX and it does put out a power jet of air, which was quite effective in removing the debris from the coils that I couldn't get to with the vacuum. I used 140 PSI from my 6-gallon compressor and using it full blast I would empty my compressor and operate with reduced pressure within about 20-30 seconds, so I would have to stop and wait for it to build pressure, then resume. I'm glad I chose this gun over the other Capri 'High Performance' gun, because my compressor would have been way too small for that one. I also found that you can control the air output using the hand trigger, so it's not just a straight ON/OFF. Also, for my needs, I like that the tip is not angled, like most seem to be. I found it easier to use for what I was doing. The only additional thing I would like to see is longer tips available for this model. They seems to have options for the other gun, and different accessories for this one, but I did not see longer tips. If you're looking for a high-quality air blow gun, this is definitely the one to get.

I'm not a person that stops to review anything really because most products I come across always has type of shortfall to it. As for this air blower, I have used it for about 6 months now. I looked to see if I purchased it here on Amazon, but didn't locate it right away. I might have picked it up at Home Depot. I know they have it there for the same price, online at least. Anyhow, never the less I have one. And it's not a counterfeit. I hesitated to buy this but kept thinking it was probably at least descent, given how many positive reviews were present. This blower does exactly what it was designed to do. And really does it perfectly. The low side is still pretty descent for low pressure, although I probably would like to see it blow extremely low for some little light delicate jobs. And when I say delicate, I mean like blowing with your breath low. Given that, it's low side isn't bad. It does lower to at least down to a 1/4 to the amount it's being fed. It's sturdy for me, but I'm not the type that treats tools rough, like throwing it down on the cement after I use it. I use a 7hp 60gal compressor regulated at 110 at the feed. That's just where I keep it for safe tool operation and care per tool requirements. Most tools are at 90 - 120ish on average anyway. But I have, out of curiosity, put all 160psi to it just to see if it's going to hold up since it hasn't failed on me yet. 160psi was a cake walk for it and was Surprised it was so extremely strong enough to blow out the 3 car garage with ease after cutting tons of wood for a new Japanese style designer fence in my backyard 72 feet. Even with one car in the center stall, stacks of wood in another, not to mention all the large pieces of heavy metal machining tools (lathe, milling machine, drill press, belt sanders and bench grinders) around the garage throughout, this thing just blew out wood chips, metal and aluminum chips mixed with cigarette butts etc, you name it, it out performed my other blowers by far. I'm not sure what those people purchased that give it one star, possibly defective or a counterfeit or something, I couldn't tell you. Makes me think lots of the reviews put out on products must not be truthful players that possibly have some sort of ill intent to destroy its reputation because it might be a threat to their own businesses. Or the compressor they are feeding from is maybe too small or has other issues. BUY THIS BLOW GUN. I have no relation or special interests with making this review. I don't know if one can check another's personal history with not making too many reviews. But I do have a long history of buying from amazon for many years. So to sum it up really, good luck to those of you with one star. If I were you, I would try and find direct contact to Capri and express your issue to them. I would be willing to bet, if you sent yours to them, they would send a new one back free of charge. It just doesn't make any sense that this quality built product has problems. It's actually surprising they sell it for so cheap. I think that had a weird effect on my decision sooner. So many cheap things aren't worth it. So even if it's made in China, it is of superior construction. So this will be one of maybe 5 - 10 reviews for products I'll take the time to give props to. I hate when I'm looking for stuff and reviews do not help really. So when I do actually stop and review, I try and put it out there for the guy or gal, that really wants to know if it's worth the money. I would have willingly given $ in the low to mid 20s. To me the product exceeds the price paid for it. I'm going to buy a couple more while the price is still low really. If they improve on it without drastically changing it I would buy new versions of it. But don't go messing with something that works just fine. If they made the same exact version with higher very top notch quality materials such as stainless and heat tempered inners etc, I'm sure the price would climb pretty subconscious. At that point I would probably buy a whole box of them. I like to buy once. Sometimes that means paying high in the front, but works out way cheaper in the long run because you never had to buy another again. Something to think about Capri. For guys like myself who appreciates high quality tools that don't require fixing over and over. Yea it's just a blow gun, but don't be fooled, it's a dmn good one...!!!! Give credit where credits due.... Later gator

I have several of these and they're the best air gun I've ever used. I also have the more expensive "windstorm" version, but like this one much better. The windstorm is well built, but it is much larger and is ridiculously loud. My one complaint is that the first one I bought years ago had the plastic nozzle. They now come with a metal nozzle and you have to buy the "nozzle set" to get the plastic one. Although the metal is obviously stronger, we are frequently blowing things that we really don't want to risk scratching and the plastic nozzle adds a bit of safety in case you accidentally hit the part. Regardless of plastic or metal tip, it is a non-vented tip which is awesome. The "safety" vents tend to make air guns stupid loud and also prevent a nice focused stream when you need it. The adjustable flow is an excellent feature. The trigger is also outstanding and allows infinitely variable flow. I highly recommend this gun and it's worth the price. Most lower cost guns have a terrible trigger that allows little or no control in how much air you blow.

I work on small engines, as such I use pneumatic air tools to do a lot of my work. I got this air gun because it was recommended to me. I really like the design of this tool. It has a nice rubber grip on the handle, the trigger is really nice and easy to operate. Its neat that the air coupler can be installed on either the bottom or top of the tool, depending on weather or not your air line comes from the ceiling or not. It also has a nice hook on the top that can be used to hang the tool up. While I would have preferred the nozzle to be a couple of inches longer for convenience, it is however long enough for most cases. One of this tools coolest features, is its adjustable flow knob, most air guns do not have this feature. Unfortunately, this is also where the drawback of this tool is. Since the knob turns infinitely with no stop, I just assume that this would provide for infinite flow adjustment, but it does not. Once you find where the sweet spot is, a small bit of turning clockwise makes the flow really small, and a small bit turn counter-clockwise, gives you full blast. So in all actuality, there is very little, and full blast, with no adjustment in between. I will still enjoy this tool, but I expected more then just two settings! The overall quality of the tool is very good, it feels pretty durable, although the trigger handle itself is plastic, the trigger mechanism is metal. And its really nice that this tool comes with its own coupler. In most cases when I've bought air tools, I had to supply my own coupler. I definitely recommend this tool, but one should be aware, that the flow adjustment isn't as good as you would expect it to be. This is a tool that should be in every home owners, and mechanics tool box. 4 out of 5 stars.

If you like and have a blow gun like this, like I do, and use it in an not OSHA friendly way, like I do, to clean chips out of small bores, like nothing else does.... Then you know when I say there are times you wish you could dial it down for other tasks. This is perfect. Love it. Use it every day now for a week or so. Cleans up nice. Seems durable. The knob is out of the way and convenient and easy to adjust from a gentle puff to clear a bench from debris, in to that small caliber swarf launcher you need to make sure that screw goes in the hole without galling up. I use this in an industrial environment and it sees no love. I am sure it would crush as easy as any other blow gun or break if it gets hurled on to something hard when the air line gets jerked. But it will hold up to grease, oil, what ever is on your rag to cut the grease oil and dirt. Throwing it a drawer in your box ain't going to hurt it any either, unless maybe it's your hammer drawer, the tube is nice and slender and just the sort of thing the hammers in the hammer drawer hates the most, with the possible exception of an iPhone.

Very nice to have the ability to dial down the pressure. Seems very well made . My usage is in a body shop

Powerful and comfortable in the hand. The adjustment know helps dial in the flow, but it seems to only adjust to two different pressures.

The Capri Tools 2-Way Air Blow Gun is one of those tools you don’t realize you needed until you use it. The adjustable airflow is super handy, and the extended nozzle makes it easy to reach tight spots. Feels solid in the hand, works smoothly, and does exactly what it’s supposed to. Great quality for the price.

This is a nice product that is very versatile. No need to adjust an air compressor when you need low volume air output. The knob on the blowgun will do that for you. I really like this product.

Excelente

Had this for a while now, adjustment is nice and it works well. No signs of giving up yet and I'd happily buy another the same if I even break this one.

Good product

So much better quality than your regular cheapo air guns, this goes in the “buy once” category of tools
