AirCannon

Compressed-air cans and small dusters have long been the default for clearing out keyboards and PC cases. AirCannon takes a more powered approach: a handheld blower that the maker says produces wind speeds of 124MPH, roughly 200km/h, which it claims is several times that of a typical household air blower.

What drives it

At its core is a 21V brushless motor. According to the maker, it delivers efficient power consumption and is designed for extended use, with less wear and a longer lifespan than conventional carbon-brush motors. The airflow comes from what the campaign calls jet engine blade technology, intended to accelerate air much like an aircraft turbine for a smoother, more even and more precise stream than standard fan blades.

The maker lists the weight at 2.9 pounds (about 1324g) and says the body is balanced for one-handed operation to reduce fatigue during longer jobs. It also describes a heat-resistant design, which it says makes the blower usable in high-temperature settings such as starting a campfire or feeding oxygen to BBQ charcoal.

In the box

• Three nozzles, including a tapered nozzle for tight gaps and a wide nozzle for broad coverage
• A dedicated hard case for carrying and storage

Intended uses

The campaign positions AirCannon across several scenarios: clearing dust and wood chips during woodworking or painting, maintaining cars and precision equipment, cleaning sand and dust off tents and tarps at the campsite or beach, and routine cleaning of PC internals, keyboards, and air conditioner or ventilation fan filters at home and in the office.
