EXAIR VariBlast® Compact Safety Air Gun with Nozzle

EXAIR VariBlast Compact Safety Air Gun is a uniquely powerful gun which produces variable force with the simple adjustment of the trigger valve. You decide how much force is needed for the application by squeezing the trigger a little or all the way for maximum force! This cast aluminum gun can be equipped with any of our 1/8 NPT engineered air nozzles. The VariBlast Compact Safety Air Gun is small, comfortable and powerful while remaining light and ergonomic. Extension Pipes for hard to reach areas are also available.
