  • Quickly cleaning swarf from tools (wear eye protection)
  • Surprising Tom Scott on his way out of the toilet
  • Attaching tools like shears, wrenches, nailers etc : note, needs oil added to air
  • Cleaning dust from inside electronics (wear eye protection)
  • Cleaning crap from lasercutter cooling tubes
  • Attach a pressure vessel and you have a cannon!
