    Awesome 20 inch telescoping blow gun

    Harbor Freights blow gun is a kick axx unit. It works great for blowing out the bugs from the radiators on the Honda. I just have a small sears compressor for blowing up tire and such and it does get up to 120 psi and the blow gun had that small nozzle and just kicks everything out of the radiators.Attachment 22412 I paid $6.99 for it on sale and they charge almost the same amount for shipping, total to the door was $14.82 definitely going to be used to blow bugs out of all the crevices on the bike. The small end piece can be loosened up and rotated to a different angle to get into different areas. Looked it over carefully but still can't figure out why they say its telescoping. Have not found that feature yet. Unless they mean by taken the 20 inch section out of the gun. part number is your interested is 68261 on Harbor Freights website.

    It's also great for putting on grips or grip covers. Slips between bar and grip with ease.
    If you loosen the knurled nut the thin end part extends.
    I can put on or take off grip puppy things in seconds with it. They're off in winter to get the most out of grip heaters.
    Anyway, yeah, great tool!

    For a second there ...

    I thought shouldn't this be in the "Off Topic" section before I opened it.

    I saw that Crossman has a new Pneumatic arrow bow... I wonder if I could adapt this H.F. air wand to shoot arrows as well...

    Sorry Bob but I tried to find your thread to add mine to it but it just wasn't showing up in the search for it. Yes your thread got me to harbor freight but the search on their site took 15 minutes to find the blow gun so I wanted to add the item number so others could just get it in seconds instead of a massive search. Now quit your Crying and I apologize for not using your thread to add the item number. My Bad!

    Who crying? If my memory serves me right, your Thread dated 7-23-15, asked the same question about cleaning the radiators and I responded about using the air gun and compressed air on 7-24-15, a mere day later. That's over a year ago

    P.S. Regarding the telescoping nozzle! Loosen the synch/compression nut, while turning the nozzle, slightly pull on it at the same time. A little WD-40 does wonders in making it extend or retract easier

    I was per your advice blowing out my radiators with my aging blow gun and it worked great but my blow gun I had for years doesn't match this one from Harbor Freight. This has about triple the punch that my old one had and it gets into tighter spaces with more cleaning ability. Again thanks for the original information to start using air pressure and thanks again for the tip on the new air gun, it's really like I bought a new air compressor.
