I've got the kit on pre-order since I received the email from Autogeek. I find blowers and vacuums handy for all kinds of things. I have both the Milwaukee small shop blower that looks smaller than this Flex and their normal battery leaf blowers. Anxious to compare the Flex to the small Milwaukee.

Re: Review: FLEX BW-18 Cordless Blower by Mike Phillips
Great review Mike! A tool I may be adding to my arsenal. I like the fact it takes the same battery as the Flex cordless polishers. However, it's a shame it does NOT include the battery unless you purchase the kit. Just my opinion.

Nice tool. I like the small nozzles, I would buy those if they fit my leaf blower.
Mike you said you misted the exterior with Pinnacle Black Label Surface Coating. Why did you use this instead of PBL Coating Booster or one of the new PBMG SiO2 sprays? Did you spread it out after misting?

2 things I love about this...1.) The price, and 2.) The form factor.
This WILL be in my next order when available!

Mike, can you explain those two small nozzles on the right with the "pierced" tip? The only thing I can think those are for are for sliding between panels or into crevices and blowing sideways...is that right? Or does that tip provide some other kind of action?

I'm guessing the tips are for inflating toys and air mattresses.

Correct. The other tip can be used to INFLATE or DEFLATE air toys or air mattresses.

***Update***
Just wanted to share two comments....
1: MOST of the car detailing I do is on cars that are NOT regularly maintained. This means they are not regularly treated with any type of product that causes water to bead-up. This includes,
- A carnauba car wax
- A synthetic paint sealant
- a ceramic paint coating
- Or any other product that seals the surface and creates surface tension
That's why I'm working on the car. Someone owns something, it needs to be detailed. Thus when I do the PREP WASH - water does not bead-up. For cars like this, no car dryer or car blower is going to work well to dry the car off because in order for any type or brand of car blower to dry a car it works best and most efficiently if water is already beading-up. Thus because of surface tension, water already wants to get away from the car's surfaces.
2: For the rare occasions I do wash and dry a car I have detailed, for example my own cars, because water is beading-up, the FLEX car blower works great! Not only to blow the water off the car but just as important, to blow water out of all the emblems, cracks, crevices, lug nuts, grill, etc.
Last Friday and Saturday, I washed 3 cars that I have worked on and enjoyed drying the water off using a cordless car blower.
All three cars were washed using the Wolfgang Uber SiO2 Coating Wash, which also makes water bead-up, besides whatever I have on the cars and as such - water flies off the car.
Also love cleaning the garage flow of wool dust bunnies too.
