Default Ego 765 Blower

Bought one of these on sale at Lowe's, $300 as a kit, comes with a free battery. Had been drying with my Milwaukee M18 blower, it worked kinda ok, not amazing though. On a good surface it did well enough.

This isn't like that. It's like having a power dryer from an automatic car wash. It's literally crazy how it just pushes all the water off. Makes drying my SUVs a wall in the park, and the 5Ah battery is enough to easily dry 3 large SUVs if not more.

I haven't even bought a stubby nozzle for it for drying yet, but man, this thing totally changes your car drying, for the better.

Lol, yes, ok, that thing is an absolute beast. Over 900cfm, lol. It's also $600, so it's a real commitment lol. Probably works great on leaves or snow or whatever normal people buy blowers for too.

You'd probably need to tie the cars down to make sure it doesn't blow them away, lol.

I use a disguised pet dryer for $99 on Amazon and guess what? It works just fine and leaves my PPF and Corvette lettering in place.
