    I'm looking for a compressed air canister about the size of a can of compressed air like used to clean computer keyboards or fans, and is refillable with a home shop compressor. I've found a few that look good, but they all indicate that they are for spraying various liquids. Is there any reason one of these can't be used to shoot only air? Any other suggestions?

    Thanks.

    It won’t last long. The reason cans of air work is they are filled with liquid which expands and gives you a lot more volume

    would an air duster work for you?



    or a small blower?

    Thanks for those, 545. I saw tons of those blowers on Amazon, but was skeptical due to the performance claims being made. Looks like they might do the job if I pick the right one.

    Those mini blowers are pretty impressive for what they are, I bought a Wolfbox one after seeing how well it did on the Torque Test Channel.
    It is loud but it puts out a fair bit of air at a decent pressure, not gona compete with 90+ psi of air pressure from a compressor of course but it's good in a pinch when not near an air source.

    We use small portable spray vessels - refillable Red lube or solvent cans that we simply recharge off the shop air system with a tire stem. Will hunt one down and see if the label is still on it. "Should be" in order to meet Fed safety rules but I'm not sure our people are too careful about protecting the labels. I think we bought them from MSC.
    They would work just fine to simply blow dry air.

    Just looked at one - it is a "VAPER Non-aerosol Sprayer" 32 oz capacity sold by Amazon says 80 to 150 psi operating pressure

    Pulled up pricing on the Amazon stuff - and the yoyos have all of the colors listed separately - the cheapest being $34 for blue?

    I got one of the sprayers out of our store room and it looks identical to the "VAPER" type of unit - but is labeled "SURE SHOT - Milwaukee Sprayer" and it also is 32 oz capacity. It is heavy, enameled metal - not plastic like the Amazon description says. It also simply shows 200 psi as the pressure rating.
