Reviewing the "Super Power Turbo Fan" A Good Substiute for Compressed Air Cans?

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

It's always good when you find a new tool that takes the place of something that never reallt fit the need entirely well. I think the Super Power Turbo Fan is an excellant replacement for the common "Air-Duster" - Chris

No manufacture details, likely a Chinese product.

[@alasdair4161]

I have a similar tool in my kit and one more thing they are great at doing is inflating things. I've pumped up my Zodiac inflatable boat in no time and I carry it onboard all the time. My version came with a big range of nozzle adapters that cover all needs. Even my wife now wants one for dusting the house... Happy days.

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi alasdair: I though about trying it to blow up some ballons, alas I didn't have any balloons :( I think an assortment of nozzels would make it even more usefull - Chris

[@leftseat30]

You inflated a zodiak?!

[@dirtydon8661]

was wanting to see you demonstrate on a dusty board before all the other methods.

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi dirtydon: Some type of brushing is needed to dislodge the built up dirt and dust - just blowing the circuit board will not be good enough to get it clean - Chris

[@video99couk]

Will look into this. I get through a lot of air duster cans.

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi video99couk: I find that it works well - Chris

[@MaD_fX]

The maker(as clearly stated) is SDFM. Seems like a nice product, I think they missed an opportunity here though - they could have called it Super Duper Mega Fan ;]

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi MaD-fx: Yes, then they could have introduced an updated version, the "Max Super Duper Maga Fan II" - Chris

I use a ryobi cordless air mattress blower. it uses a turbo impeller giving it high pressure air and unlimited battery if you have more than one battery. plus it comes with a needle nose tip accessory already included for a lesser price. only down side compared to the turbo fan is it size. I suggest looking it up. I used to run a loud air compressor with a bunch of water separator attachments and switch to this ryobi. altho for tougher job I still whip out the old air compressor.

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi alfred: I looked atthe Ryobi mattress blower, it seems like a good value with lots of accessories inlcuded. It would a good choice, especially if you're already in the "Ryobi Eco System" with their other products so you can share batteries - Chris

[@scottouimet2865]

I have a Kobalt quiet tech 4.3 and 26gal compressors. They are great for cleaning things. I have a drying attachment that pulls the moisture out of the air from the compressor for painting purposes but is all great for cleaning.

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi Scott: I alos have acompressor, for me it's somewhat overkill to use just to clean circuit boards. I find that it's much easier to having some right-at-hand to quicking v blow away the dust - Chris

[@ronk9830]

A big plus for me would be if it used standard (perhaps AA) rechargeable batteries that were easily replaceable, or even better if it just plugged into an electrical outlet.

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi Ronk: I supose that would be a useful option for some. - Chris

[@RagingShrimp67]

Can you test static pressure? For example to pump up an inflatable SUP/KITE? How much PSI can you get from this? Thank you.

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi RagingShrimp67: I do not have any setup to measure the static pressure - Chris

[@mikedeguzman1]

Why not use the wd-40 electric component cleaner instead of just use alcohol? The wd dries/evaporates pretty damn fast

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi Mike: I was unaware that WD40 may such a cleaner, which seems to be a "contact cleaner" for use with electrical and electronic equipment - I have other such cleaners (which I rarely use) I prefer something less harsh and I'll stay with alcohol - Chris

[@eidodk]

It's refrigerant. They basically kill the ozone layer. Also: SDFM is a brand of Jarvis Smart (Shenzhen) Co. is located in Shenzhen, the center city of China's innovation and technology. 10:21 is the first time in the video the actual item is tested. 10 minutes of waffling.. Well done.

[@chryseus1331]

False, propane and butane have practically zero effect on the ozone layer.

[@eidodk]

@@chryseus1331 And neither propane nor butane is used in any of the air cans. It's refrigerant. Compressed Air Dusters are most commonly filled with the following propellants: HFC-134a, HFC-152a, HFO-1234ze, CO2, and DME.

[@chryseus1331]

Most consumer level ones I've found are propane / butane, some of the more professional ones use 152a which is only mildly ozone depleting, I've never seen 134a ones here, probably banned in the EU.

[@eidodk]

@@chryseus1331 If there's propane or butane in these, it is merely there for propellant reasonings. It's flammable (It's basically lighter gas). It will be mixed with the refrigerant.

[@lukmly013]

​@@eidodk I also live in EU and I've only seen butane ones. And yes, it's pretty flammable as you could expect.

[@AgentOffice]

Just buy a compressor

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi AgentOffice: II have a compressor - it wouldn't be as convienent as having something that's already on the workbench that's ready to go - Chris

[@Sir-Dexter]

take it apart lol

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi Sir-Dexter: Ah, No. It looks like it could become a destructive tear-down. Not going to risk ruining it - Chris

[@SirDrinksAlot69]

The dust blaster isn't leaving my bench any time soon. Granted i use it for freezing for broken joints or marginal/shorted components more than the dusting.

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi SirDrinksAlot: Yes, I'll miss upending the can and using it as a freeze spray, even though I don;t use it that way very often. I guess that I'll invest in a can of real freeze spray - Chris

[@lonwillis783]

Use Non Chlorinated brake cleaner I have use that in the past to clean circuit boards with ease without problems.

[@AgentOffice]

There's contact cleaner for that

[@northsideservicecompany3567]

Hi lonwillis: Brake Cleaner seems rather harsh to be used on circuit boards - I prefer to use methods which do not use chemicals - Chris

[@lonwillis783]

@@northsideservicecompany3567 Well I used it with success on many devices. for years. I use it outside not inside though.
