Okay so let's first get past the fact that you may feel a little ridiculous buying air in a can, that said, it's compressed air and it comes out with force and the can can get really cold in your hand while spraying, that's normal & you'll be okay! So I have these at my office and we use them to spray all the crumbs and crud out of our key boards and all of the built-up lint and fuzz on our desktop PC's. But I bought this because of two reasons that I've encountered recently. The first one was I had to call the air conditioning company out because my air conditioning stopped Cooling and the outside fan on the heat pump stopped turning. When he arrived he took the control panel cover off and immediately said you have a fire ant problem. So I asked if he had some compressed air because they were just boiling out of the unit and all over him and his hands and we couldn't get them off of the contacts. In case you don't know a small ant can come between the contact that deliver electricity and when it breaks that contact you no longer have power to that unit. I have had this happened previously to my well pump also and it was fire ants also. So he did not have any compressed air despite the fact that he said he sees this problem often. I suggested he ask his company to buy him some. He did have nitrogen in a tank and so he used that to blow the ants off of the contacts and lo and behold I'm up and running. The second problem within 2 weeks that I needed this was because I have 4 smoke alarms in my home and two of them are hard-wired into the house. I have not had a problem with these going off falsely for 31 years but suddenly I have one, and of course it's the one right outside my bedroom door that has started going off randomly. I remembered the ant lesson I've learned, not that I have ants in the house because I don't like. But I remembered that dust or anything else could get between the electrical contacts and stop something from working properly so I took my hairdryer which was not very strong, and I plugged it up and blew on the unit and it stopped. But the alarm went off again the next day and I blew it out again and saw a couple dust bunnies blow out, and I noticed that the problem was in the test button so some dust I'm assuming had gotten between the test button and caused it to falsely go off. But since it went off two more times later that week I bought the compressed air and sprayed in there in the three short bursts of 3 seconds each as instructed and I'm hoping that that has alleviated the problem it has not went off yet. Be careful because this is compressed air and if you hold the button down for too long it will freeze and put off a frost-like fog out of the nozzle - if that happens you're doing it wrong and you've done it for too long. I highly recommend this product for solving a multitude of problems.

I've used these a bunch of times and each time I buy them the same thing happens... The entire cap comes off when you press it down to spray. It's ridiculously cheap. Also the pressure is not a powerful as other brands, and every once is a while the straw is shot out like a projectile.

I left the package unopened until now. When I need it, it turns out the first bottle was empty with the black head cap broken and the second one is defective. Every time I try to pull the trigger, the cap comes off unable to discharge air. Not very nice!

Nice handling size can. Blows air rather long before cool lock as thes ethings do.IF YOU HAD or have a huge blow to do THREE IS BETTER than ONE and you couldcontinue cleaning with can #2 after can #1 achieves the inevitable over cool effect these gasses do.Satisfying to blow those stubborn lint balls off a CPU cooler every so often.

I dont really leave reviews. So a product must be absolutely exceptionally nice or really, really, I mean really, bad for me to do so. This is one of the latter. I bought these to blow out my old computer that was rather dusty. What I got was a cold fart can. Despite following the instructions to a T, not shaking the bottle, holding it upright only (nearly impossible to use on anything like that but ok) and clearing it with a pre use before hand it still is complete crap. I can get better air pressure blowing with my lips, it couldn't even clean off house dust that I could shake off anemically. On top of that despite being used upright half the time it blew out vapor wetting my components. And to finish it all up I got maybe 10 seconds of combined bursts before the can got too cold to handle. Do yourself a favor and mark this brand as a hard pass. Think I will invest in an electric blower for like $50.

This product works great — when it works. I've been using it to clean dust off of photos, slides, and negatives prior to scanning, and I really like the control the nozzle gives for limiting the force and amount of air that is shot with each burst. HOWEVER!! The plastic nozzle is very cheap and the cans often come tightly shrink-wrapped together. probably 10 to 15% of the cans I've purchased have a broken or non functioning nozzle, with the plastic either cracked in shipping, or the shrink-wrap so tightly bound that the nozzle has been separated from the can. Sometimes this can be remedied by duct taping the nozzle onto the can, otherwise, it's just a lost cause and you are out a can of air.

nice to blow the dust off my server.Also, when turning it upside down, the air comes out as a liquid, and freezes!Is cool! Cools down electronics. Liquid is not electric conductive, so it's safe to use on electronics.Though it's best to keep the can upright, or the air will go out very quickly.

Update: This company when above and beyond. I asked for one can to be replaced, They refunded me in 48hrs. I got immediate response, That said no need to return broken can. The refund is already in my account. Thank you for your help. I recommend this canned air and this distributor.1 can was Damaged during shipping. Waiting for response and replacement. The other 2 cans were fine. Great value buying 3 cans. In my opinion this is The best compressed air.
