The compressed air guns from mr. soda blaster made a very good impression in the test.
The compressed air gun with Venturi nozzle is a powerful and fast cleaning gun that is suitable for all surfaces . The Venturi effect doubles the air volume and enables easy and safe handling. The angled 100 mm tip makes it possible to reach hard-to-reach areas(type AP-V 100), while the AP-VT type impresses with its extra-large Venturi nozzle, through which 1200 l/min of air flows at 8 bar. The type AP-VT-1000 has a length of 1000 mm and an additional 90° angle nozzle. These different features make the compressed air gun universally applicable in hobby, industry and workshops.
High-quality materials such as POM plastic and a rigid nozzle make the gun particularly durable. The ergonomically shaped handle ensures optimum power transmission and the cold-insulating plastic prevents cold hands.
The gun can be returned within 30 days without obligation, because Mr. Soda Blaster stands for high quality and the best service. The service life of the gun is guaranteed by a 25-year guarantee on the tightness of the valve . This offer gives customers the opportunity to test the gun without risk and convince themselves of its quality. The AP-VT, AP-VT-1000 and AP-VT-100 models were tested.

The compressed air guns from mr. soda blaster with Venturi nozzleare stable, easy to use and have a simple mechanism that is easy to dose.
The gun is well made and has a higher air flow than usual due to the Venturi effect, which makes it particularly practical for blowing out or cleaning. The compressed air connection still needs to be screwed in, but this is not a problem. The model differs from other guns in that it has a special attachment and nozzle with Venturi effect, which results in more blowing force.
The workmanship is good, the tube is made of metal and the housing and trigger are made of hard plastic. The blow gun works very well and the air outlet volume can be conveniently adjusted using the trigger handle. The gun is slightly louder than a normal blow gun, but is very powerful and distributes the air flow over a relatively wide area. The compressed air adapter is already sealed, which makes it easier to connect. Although the gun is not quite cheap, it can be recommended without reservation and is particularly suitable for cleaning workshops, for drying cars during preparation or for removing material directly from a CNC milling machine. Of course, you also need a compressor that is not too weak to be able to call up the power. All in all, a great product that is well worth the price.
