1: remove the spider webs from the lights outside the house. Seem pressure washing does nothing more than blow them to the other side.
2: keeps my drawers clean in my tool box, and don't have to take out the tools.
Keep'em coming!!

Cleaned up my laundry room nicely when the washer spewed all over the floor. :-) Ive never had to use it for a wet pickup before and it worked great!
Now if I could just get it to vaccum my car by itself I would be set.

1. Picking up the dog's... er... business.
2. Gopher removal.
3. Turn it from suck to blow, and stick it through the hole in the fence at the neighbor's dog.
4. Vacuum your dog. Works great for breeds that shed a lot. My lab used to love it. Watch the ears though.
5. Do number 4, but do number 1 first and aim it at your drunk obnoxious neighbor.
6. Pigeon Removal.
7. Gutter cleaning. Works like a champ.
8. Simple internal modifications will create a dog-poop machine gun for use with number 5. (hint: PVC and remove the filter.

Works great for testing a Radiator for leaks.Put radiator in tub and use the outlet side to blow air in there.
