    does not the air freeze?, then an application of this into a lock which becomes frozen and brittle, then one judicious whack of the bulb end of a 2lb hammer causes the inside of the lock to shatter, qed.

    ^^^ Does that not the law bring?

    Yea, it's cold alright, don't know if it's that cold though.

    Blowing out Dust, this is for.

    I imagine Liquid nitrogen would be slightly better for that sort of thing...;)

    Paid a tenner last week for 400mls in Petes. I was playing around with it so much it was all gone in about twenty mins. Should've used a hoover :D

    practice first then answer, its like anything, it has more uses than what it is supposed to.

    Bought a Dealz can few weeks back -

    Was expecting it to a a bit drier - being air and all - but there is a lot of liquid propellant - an oily substance that smells very strongly of propane (eg. camping stove) gas - that comes out as well. Put like a thin film of oil on the keyboard I was cleaning... Seems to mostly evaporate though after a few minutes.

    this was other cans or 'air' are like?


    Surprisingly powerful though. Check out removing dents from cars on youtube as another impressive use for it.

    “Roll it back”

    ^^^Seemingly so, first time in a can for me aswell, use to have a compressor, mentioned it in PC Building and lads reckon you shouldnt shake the cans before hand even though it says you should.

    Helps abit, used on my com anyway (€1200 just over a year old:eek:) and its still alive.

    keep the can upright when spraying
    spray in 3 second bursts
    do not shake the can
    if the can gets much colder leave it to return to room temp

    i bought 4 so i can alternate lol :)

    im noticing a lot of liquid (as someone mentioned above) on these dealz ones compared to the "rip off" one i bought in maplins and pcw.
