Neat little CO2 duster

[T. Erdelyi]

I can't remember where I got this , but if you look on ebay under co2 duster you'll find 'em cheap, like $14 shipped, IIRC I bought it at one of those cheapie travelin' tool shows.

Here it is:

Taken apart, ya can see the CO2 cartridge, readily available at almost any Walmart.

This is great for blowin' dust off your camera lens, blowin' lint outa yer knife.

I saw those at CompUSA the other day for about the same price for the unit and 2 CO2 cartridges. My guess would be that most any computer store or electronics store would have them also.

I did notice that the refills were a huge rip off though. You would be much better just getting the ones designed for airgun use as they are a ton cheaper.

Warning: I believe that some of the more expensive CO2 capsules intended for air guns contain a small quantity of oil. It's intended to be in there, and is for lubricating plastic seals.

Not the kind of thing you want to spray on the lenses of your binoculars/camera etc.

They do sell co2 cartridges in the housewares secion of most department stores I'l be using the ones that they use to make seltzer water.

Thanks maximus I never thought of that.

I was going to ask that question, thanks for answering that. I've got a box of Crosman CO2 pellets that are just waiting to be used.

I at least had some of the really cheap ones which seemed to have no lube added to the CO2. I wouldn't want to use them in even a decent gun, but for blowing dust I think they would work. Can't remember where I picked them up or the brand though.
