its only a little over $100...was wondering if anyone here had it and if they liked the way the product turned out? figured it would be good for calipers and smaller misc engine parts...

Never heard of it. Got pics? I can lend my thoughts on how it may perform...FWIW you can get a cheap hobby gun that performs well from Harbor Freight or Eastwood for less. I have a HF as my backup gun and I've used it more than my $4K system because it does everything I need when it comes to engine parts and is quicker to clean Figure that huh?

Hmm, never seen a self-generated air gun like that before. If you haven't got an air compressor setup already, I'd say it'd be worth trying out. If you already have a compressor and proper air drying equipment then IMO you might as well save yourself half the cost and get a hobby gun elsewhere. If the air generation works as it's described, without creating water along with it, then that's pretty cool and is real handy for a seldom-used tool like you want.

One thing I'm curious of is how the powder cartridges work. If they're refillable, then that's great. If you have to buy more once you're done w/what you get in the kit then that could be a killer and a PITA depending how much they cost.

I've heard bad things about the Sears one, FWIW. Never took a look at it though!
