Can we talk about using compressed air cans instead of a blower
I used to think those compressed air cans were fine for cleaning out PCs. Last month at a client site in Portland, I tried using my little electric blower on a dusty gaming rig and it cut the job down to 5 minutes instead of 20. The guy even said it was way quieter than he expected. Has anyone else made the switch from cans to a blower for their routine cleanings?

Man that client reaction is exactly what got me too. I tried a little Metro Vac on a buddy's rig and he couldnt believe how fast it was. The cans always felt wasteful after a while, like throwing money away on air. Blower is just smarter for anything more than a quick dust off.

Switched to a DataVac years ago. Never looked back. Compressed air cans are a scam when you do this regularly. Cans freeze up and waste so much money. A good blower pays for itself fast.
