Review on Hiltex 31111 Long Reach Pneumatic Air Blow Gun - 24” Length, Angled Aluminum Nozzle with Pistol Grip Trigger and Rubber Tip - Shop Now! by Carlos Massey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Make the threaded connection LONG

This is a great long range air pistol BUT the connection where the barrel threads into the valve body/grip is weak. This is my second long-barreled Hiltex air pistol. Both came loose in the joint of the stick on the first day of use. Teflon thread tape, aluminum tape, shrink wrap, LocTite, a bundle of plasters to fix the weak spot. Eventually the wand breaks. Or the loss of air in the thread area is so great that it renders the working end of the stick unusable. Ok Hiltex. We use these things to clean the store. Wave this wand for just a few seconds and it's sure to accentuate that tiny threaded connection. Make the connection stronger, longer, thicker, reinforced. Pay a few more bananas for this thing and we've got a great air gun.

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Doubtful
