I have bought these several times as the Purchaser for a large company. They are a good value for the money when you consider the volume of air is 12-oz. Be careful of comparing cheaper prices to 10-oz. or 8-oz. varieties.
I do not know what the controversy is over these, but they deserve 5 Stars. At $30.95 and Free Shipping, that comes to $5.16 Per Can, delivered. Every other place I’ve tried has smaller cans, or a minimum order of $75 or a delivery / shipping fee of $8 or $12 or $17.
Maybe you can buy them cheaper at a local store — I haven’t seen too many sales this good. Plus, you have to drive there, or in the case of Costco, pay a hefty Membership Fee and fight long lines at Checkout. Just a thought.
How to empty a paintball compressed air tank without putting it into the gun and firing?
I have a Compressed Air Engraving Pen 3000psi compressed air paintball tank and I have to empty the remaining air, however is there any other way to release the air without actually placing it into the paintball gun and firing it?

Compressed Air Engraving Pen
If you have a computer then you know they get dusty. It’s just going to happen, no matter what you do. Things like cameras also get dust build up. Sometimes you might be tempted just to blow the dust off with your own breath, but it’s a really bad idea since you’ll introduce moisture which is often deadly to electronics. I use these fairly regularly to blow dust out of the laptop cooler and laptop fan on my wife’s computer, but be really careful when you use it on a fan. If you blow on the fan and let it spin at high speeds, you can potentially damage the motor and ruin the fan. Many aren’t meant to go that fast. You can use a Q-tip or even your finger sometimes to keep the fan from spinning as you spray the air over it. Works great. Oh yeah, and it goes without saying, but make sure the computer is OFF when you’re using this stuff to clean it. If you make a moving computer fan go backwards you’re begging for a busted fan motor.I’m not sure if you’re familiar with “huffing”, but it usually refers to the practice of breathing in fumes from aerosol cans, though I think you can “huff” things like gasoline for a “high”. I’m not sure if the media is making it bigger than it is, but it’s one of the ways that teens can get “high” with something readily available to them. I appreciate that Falcon goes out of their way and adds a bitterent that makes the air taste bad (they say, I haven’t tasted it) so kids won’t want to use it. I know it’s only a minor selling point, but I think it shows some social responsibility and could be important to some parents.My only real problem with these things is probably something that cannot be fixed. After using them for a while, the can will get EXTREMELY cold, we’re talking frost forming on it cold, and will stop blowing out with any pressure. You can just wait a while for it to warm back up and use it again. Perhaps put it in the microwave to speed things up…No, that probably isn’t a good idea. When it’s cold, you really have to watch where you set the can. I had it “burn” a circle in a piece of wood furniture. It wasn’t just a stain to wipe off, it was a permanent mark. My own fault for being stupid though.One other thing, don’t tilt the can. The purpose of that little red straw thing that’s taped to the can is so you can angle it a little bit. If you tilt the can, you’re likely to spray the liquid out onto your computer, sensitive electronics, or yourself. It evaporates quickly, but you could damage a component. Just keep the can mostly level or at like a 45 degree incline and you’ll be fine. Short burst work best. You can squeeze a little life out of a can that’s got no pressure by using it briefly, letting it warm, then using again, but toss the cans when you’ve got no pressure left.
It’s air in a can! The cans come with the little concentrating straws that you stick in the nozzle in case you were wondering.
Shipping was more expensive than the price of the item purchased. In this instance, a more cost effective strategy would be: “bricks and mortar”!
Decent product but should not really cost 31.95$ – what I paid for. Shipping was free but I don’t recommend getting this product due to the price.Edit 8/5/2010: I received a phone call from one of this company’s – The e^Basement – employee by the name of John Oracle who was rather scathing and insulting in his manner of speak. What he told me was that this is the cheapest price – which is not, you can get a product like this for Costco for 22.00$ including tax. Other places will offer similar prices if you just search outside the mainstream. Although Mr. Oracle seemed quite certain that such a product will not be cheaper, even offering a refund on the price difference. However, when I sent several links – just online, cheaper prices are in stores – I was ignored. The company selling this product should not be trusted, as believe you me, you’ll find better prices and none of the attitude presented by the customer service.
It worked well, though the first few sprays actually were a bit damp, but good product overall.
I just bought a 1.5 HP shop-vac and the micro-cleaning kit today for $38. Unlimited “air”, voila. I can’t believe I ever paid $8 or more for a can of air that runs out after 1-2 computer cleanings.
Does the job. It does leak a little sometimes, but nothing some moist paper towels won’t fix.
This is a useless product .When I first used it gave out a white foamy liquid .I tried using 2-3 times after that but same thing happened ,thought selected a bad product so did not wish to return.
This is the smallest of three Giottos “Rocket Blasters.” It’s a good size for carrying in the bag with your camera gear for field cleanings, but the larger blaster is much more effective and is the one to buy if you only plan to get one. Note that you can currently get this item, the small blaster, in a very nice Giottos cleaning kit for less money than the blaster sells for separately by itself – so if you’re thinking about buying the blaster you’ll do yourself a favor by checking out the kit and buying that instead. The blaster in the kit is exactly the same item as what you are looking at in this listing.All the Giottos blasters are well-designed, high quality pieces that put junky little generic blower/brushes to shame. The small blaster is a little taller and a little wider than a bottle of cleaning fluid, small enough to be tucked away in a camera bag in just about any empty space. I slip mine in next to a lens, pointed down so that the tip slides in beside the lens. In use it creates a small but strong blast of air capable of dislodging most dust particles, and it’s a good idea to give each lens a quick blast when you take it out of the bag, and maybe again as you put it away. Most of the time, that will be all the field cleaning your gear will require.There are lots of design details that help the Rocket Blaster do its job. The materials, particularly the expensive silicone rubber used for the blower bulb itself, are of obvious high quality. The bulb has a separate intake valve at its rear, so that it can fill more quickly than would be the case if the small blower nozzle were its only source of intake air. And of course its freestanding “rocket” design is itself simple, useful and unique. Look closely at the blower nozzle: the hole through which the air is forced is not round, it’s an obviously-deliberate triangular shape, and if you think about it a moment it might occur to you that this shape might very well be more efficient at generating a coherent stream of air than a simple round nozzle. Just another detail.The end result is an item that is deceptively simple but so nicely made that it just doesn’t have any competition. It’s a nice little piece of Italian design that anybody can buy, appreciate, and put to good use. It costs a bit more than a junky little blower/brush, but it’s a heck of a lot better. I give it four stars simply because its bigger brother is a lot more effective and is probably the one to buy if you’re choosing between the two.Miscellaneous notes:- This is the “small” Rocket Blaster. There is also a large model, and on some item pages here on Amazon it has not been perfectly clear what you’re getting from the item photograph or description. Here’s how you tell difference: the small blaster has a round (spherical) bulb, the large one has an elongated, more or less elliptical bulb. (There is also a more obscure medium size that more closely resembles the large one, with an elongated bulb). - The small blaster is ideal for keeping in your camera bag: the large one is a bit too big. The large one is probably two or three times as effective as the small one, however, so if you only intend to buy one, buy the large one. Honestly, by the time you have a modest sum invested in camera gear, you probably ought to have both.- Aside from the blower and some cleaning fluid and cleaning tissues, the other important piece of lens cleaning gear you’ll need is a soft brush. The Giottos cleaning kit referenced above comes with a nice little brush, and I’d recommend just buying the kit, especially since it is currently available for less money than the blower by itself. Just search “Giottos” and the kit will come up in the first few listings. (I’m not affiliated with any of the sellers, by the way: just pointing out what I’d do myself).
Simply put, this product does exactly what it was designed to do. I consider it an important part of what I carry in my camera bag and it assures that my digital pictures are without dust spots.
