DescriptionThe VariBlast® Precision Safety Air Gun family includes models equipped with longer Type 316 stainless steel extension pipes for access to hard-to-reach areas. The gun features a trigger valve that provides variable force: a light squeeze supplies low force for delicate tasks and a full squeeze delivers maximum force. The body is made of high-impact acetal for a lightweight, ergonomic grip. The gun accepts a range of 1/8 NPT engineered air nozzles for focused blowoff performance.
