Outstanding Blowgun; Highly Recommended

I have owned several airguns over the years including other US brands but none compare to this one. Huge volume of air, far exceeding what I get from my unknown Amflo and Chinese brands. This is possible with the same compressor and PSI rating, so I suspect Milton improved the internal design of his blowgun in some way to maximize airflow. Really great. As at least one other reviewer has noted, my only criticism would be the lack of a hook to hang a gun over my workbench. So like others I…

Generates high airflow

I already have a couple of blowguns that I use with my compressor but I needed something that would generate more volume and more airflow and this did the trick for a business did. After mowing, I use this to blow off my mower's deck and motor. The huge explosion of air is really big. Keeps my gear as good as new and prevents the engine from overheating due to dirt and debris getting into the engine's cooling fins. I also use them to bleed injectors on carburetors. It's a handy tool that I use…

  • Free for educational purposes

Very good tool, easy to imagine what it is.

A very good instrument, one can easily imagine how they made it in the 1950s/60s. 1 glaring design gap: There is no built-in hook in the case, which is the norm with most of these blowers. It's just not possible to hang it up, hanging it up with an air arm isn't an option as it's facing the wrong way. I just attached a curved S hook to it and now it hangs fine but looks a bit gaudy. Without deducting a star for this, I knew from looking at the picture before purchasing that this was going to be

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • There are some nuances

High quality but wish the tip was replaceable

I hate that almost nobody makes really good stuff these days. I think I spend more time reading reviews to find out what things are really worth buying than actually using those things. At least I get things that last and work well, and that's what this gun is for. It's hefty (but not overly so) and appears to be very durable. There's nothing cheap about that. It's just good gear put together well. My only criticism of this blowgun is that it doesn't seem designed for tip changing. I would…
