Wan Jae –
Metrovac Blowers are popular tools for drying off your car, and that is indeed a big reason I purchased this. The hot air output is wonderful. I also wanted something to blow the grass off my mower deck … a small, quick task that does not warrant firing up the gas leaf blower. The little blower does admirably in both jobs and has also found duties blowing off my workbench and occasionally even the shop floor around the bench.
Since I’m using it to blow debris instead of to merely dry a car, it’s important to pay attention to the filter on the bottom of the casing. It’s quite powerful, and the filter will pick up whatever is blowing around in the air since it moves so much air as it works. It’s relatively quiet for what it does, and incredibly powerful for being a small, lightweight, handheld unit.
I would not abuse it by using it to blow off my driveway, but in a pinch, it could do that job, too. It creates considerable thrust in your hand. If you don’t attach the nozzle firmly, it can be blown clean across the room. If I had a criticism, it’s that while the blower is excellent, solid, and well made, all the material *supporting*the blower itself is a bit second class.
It comes, for example, with a shoulder strap, but there’s no place to attach the strap to the blower. There was no documentation in the box. (A blower doesn’t need a manual, but you’d expect to find a warranty card and information about replacement filters.) Some of the decals applied to the blower were inartfully applied. These minor issues do not sully my overall excellent impression of the product.

Excellent product
This blaster works great for drying my motorcycle. It has lots of chrome with nooks and crannies, and the warm air from the blaster gets all the water out and gives me a spot-free shine. It also works great on my cars.
