Hi All,

My cabinet has accumulated quite a lot of dust.

Cleaning with a simple brush does not get the work done 100%.

Recently saw a couple of videos on youtube where guys  use air compressors or cans to clean the cabinets.

So i decided to dig around and came up with these.

Will these be useful to me or more importantly , can i use it to clean my cabinet??

I have a bicycle too so had planned to by a pump for the same.

With this, i might me able to kill two birds with one stone  :P (and save money too :D  :D ).

Also what will be the appropriate amount of PSI to work with while cleaning the pc?

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Looking forward to some awesome replies. :)  :)

If youre cleaning dust, then just wet a paper towel and go in on it, from my experience, using an air compressor or can of air just moves the dust around and doesnt really clean it. Or get like a spray bottle of water and go in on that.

Ok, soory i couldnt see the links don't have the app on my phone. But i assume they're air compressors? If so you want a oil less pancake one, its small portable and works. Psi isnt a big deal for this, you just need to hold the fans down, when they spin the opposite way they make a emf and can destroy some fan motors. Should be fine for bike ties too.

Should be close to 100 psi, 3 gallon tank.

Those are for inflating tires or bike tires, I would recommend to use something like this instead which provide more of an air jet since it uses an impeller:

Yeah those are more of a blower type pump where it doesn't do a lot of pressure but moves a lot of air.

will i be able to use it to inflate my bicycle tyres??

 

No those aren't designed for that you'll need the other pump you had linked, personally I would just get a good quality hand pump for bike tires those 12V plug in pumps are really loud and usually poorly built.
