I have a 30 gallon ingersoll rand HD air compressor. My compressor handles the tool air flow great, but my compressor runs the entire time. I can run my compressor continuous and it will not harm it. Case in point is that you will need the correct size compressor that can supply the air volume this tool demands. With that said this tools works incredible and is made of quality materials. Great for pre-drying, engine bays, interiors, mats ...just about everywhere you can think of. I use it to clean the sand and debris from leather seat stitchings after they have been thoroughly vacuumed. The plastic tip helps to prevent any damage to leathers or any other delicate materials.

Does a great job makes such dirty filthy carpets easy to clean up!

This tool is SUPER useful in many ways but ONLY if you have a good compressor! I own and operate a large high end auto detailing solan so we have a 80 Gallon 2 Stage Air Compressor there so there was no draw backs when using this tool... we where able to get full capacity with this tool. We use it to blow pads out after every ass when doing Paint Corrections and also use it when cleaning pads at the end of the day after washing them out we like to blow them dry as possible using this tool and it works way better then the bucket pad cleaners. Also we use this to blow out sand and other small trapped dirt exe after we do a full vac we come back and blow everything lose that the first vac could not get then vac everything else up after blowing out then follow up with hot water extractor which leaves the carpets looking brand new every time. One last thing this tool works great when your preforming paint corrections and ur using heavy dusting compounds like M105, you can use the tool to blow the dust off the vehicle after your cycle is done and then remove the compound using your IPA to reduce chances of putting more scratches into the finish... the ideas are endless!
