Default Computer Canned Duster Options

With the random computer work I do for friends at home, I go through quite a bit of Dust-Off and have been considering getting a compressor of some type.

Metro DataVacs are seem to be dominant as far as what comes up on Google, and Memex has this one that is reasonably priced.

Anyone know of any other hidden gems out there, or some horror stories that might sway me away from this type of purchase? Other than reading the reviews is there a PSI specification that I should be looking at to see how good or bad it 'blows'?

Oddly enough, I ended up finding that video, and watching it, while doing my research.

Do you need it to be that portable or do people bring their computers to you? I bought a small compressor because I wanted it for more than just cleaning electronics.

The exact one I have.

This is the most useful tool that I have ever owned.



http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...086&CatId=7094 (PM with Memex)

It's for cleaning electronics but I've cleaned the house, cleaned the car, cleaned pets, cleaned engines, cleaned appliances, cleaned all sorts of mechanical devices, inflated beds, inflated balls, inflated boats, inflated tires, inflated blow-up dolls, etc. It's a hand-held, just plug it in air compressor that packs a huge .75 HP punch.

The first time you fire it up, you'll be shocked at how fataing powerful it is. I bought mine years ago when you had to import them from the US. If MemEx has them, I'm buying another.
