    So since ordering the Mini I’ve been watching tonnes of videos and I saw that caught me eye and it was a guy drying his car with a leaf blower

    That got me thinking ?

    So after some investigation I discovered this was an actual thing and some folks used those big blowers for drying dogs etc , those ones have to be plugged into the mains and I couldn’t be annoyed with more cables to trip over

    As I have a few Bosch Pro tools and batteries I figured I’d give this little thing a bash , quite light in the hand , no cables and easy for me to balance whilst holding my crutch

    It Did work and it was fun and games for about 27 mins blowing the little heads of water around until both shoulders felt like I’d been hanging from Monkey Bars ( remember them ) for hours on end

    I was convinced the principle was sound I just needed a little more oomph!

    By luck Bosch had just released a brand new model, something much bigger and more powerful , If the Terminator was a gardener this looks like the one he’d use ?

    The power is unreal with a scroll wheel to easily control the power from a breeze to a Hurricane in your hand! –

    If  still use a skateboard I swear I could use this blower to get me to the shops and back lol

    My own little Tesla Skateboard ?

    I bought a couple of straps from Amazon and a few fasteners and came up with a system that’s super comfy and balanced

    So there’s no strain on my shoulders and when no one is looking I can pretend I’m Big Arnie

    The water just disappears! And it would even better if I had a proper ceramic coating

    Although I’d never hold the blower near the ground where it could suck up a bit of grit or stone I’ve attached a filter to the blower just to be 100% sure I won’t sandblast the car ??‍♂️?

    it honestly works a treat with no risk of swirl marks or scratches when drying it

    anyone else use something similar?

    I’ll attach a couple of pics of little and large Little…
