when attaching battery the joint clip may be loose coz its new, may drop when using blower

blower save time and energy for the polishing car later coz drying car body using microfiber towel is really tiring

WolfBox is noticeably louder than NiteCore. 87 dB vs 77 dB is actually a big difference due to the logarithmic nature of human hearing, and the recommended is stay below 85dB.



Some time ago, I actually tried both the Licorne and WolfBox, and true enough the WolfBox was actually causing my ear drums to hurt when used for extended periods, although people with already minor hearing loss would probably not notice it.

The Licorne is much more manageable noise-wise and still delivers strong performance (168 mph, 66 CFM, and 122g pressure), it was enough to blow a 500ml bottle off the table. For me, It's easily the real rank 1 as its safer for daily use.
It was cheap and easy to get on Shopee, plus I won’t use it for extended periods without using ANC earphones.

I use ear plugs with my blowers. Every Singapore Son should have a set.

Dust duster is good for blowing dust off filters. For blowing other items the dust just settled somewhere else

To remove dust buy vacuum cleaner better

:D

Please be careful with ANC.

ANC is NOT perfect. ANC tech generally cancels out frequencies audible to humans. It does nothing to higher and lower frequencies that may still be at physiologically damaging levels,

A foam ear plug on the other hand creates a physical barrier that reduces the amplitude of the vast majority of frequencies your hearing apparatus is exposed to. Especially higher frequencies.

i had this, very noisy and need blow outside of house if not the dust just gets recirculated in the area. Intake suction below have to clean the sponge if not will choke..

Use a few times only, too noisy imo, vacuum cleaner level+ noise

Yeah, 87+ dB is actually quite loud, the loudness is actually the same as WolfBox, that's why i returned the WolfBox :s13:.

I do have earplugs, but the fact that I need them at all already signals that its too loud. Also, In newer HDB units with lower ceilings and smaller rooms, the noise gets amplified due to echo and limited space. That makes it uncomfortable for the user and also anyone else at home.

The 2nd model can be bought at $35 (if you know where to find). It's a lot quieter and still very very strong, it gives me a peace of mind, that's why after trying it I return the WolfBox.

Ultimately the fan is a tool for cleaning. It is expected to be loud when it is in service.

whats the point of blowing dust from one place to another. Quite a lame product
actually is useful per say, i got one those tower fan, but the stupid part is cannot be dismantle to wash inside.
so i only can blow out the dust lor, not 100% dust free but at least is something...

I am aware and have some know-how about safety hearing levels.

Thankfully, I am not in a situation where that would be a problem, but it is good that you could find a safer alternative.

We’re specifically discussing whether harmful noise levels of 87 dB and above are necessary when quieter options exist today.

In terms of performance, rank 1, 2, and 3 models are all overkill for most tasks. That’s why the rank 2, which is noticeably quieter at around 77 dB and costing just ~$35 (if you know where to get) is a great choice as it gets the job done without risk of damaging your hearing, and without needing ear plugs.

Of course, if you don't care about it then you won't care about it :s13:.

After this, you have to vacuum the floor.
Not really, i pull my PC out to the corridor and blow at my neighbour's direction. :(

I use it to blow my air con compressor, all the dust flew downstairs. :(


Talking about noise, any vacuum is alot more noisy. :(

My neighbour even worse, must vacuum everyday and can hear it at the other end of the building. :(

Depends, the wolfbox nozzle is way smaller.
So the force is very concentrated and strong.

If you blow at your forehead, your stress also goes away. :(

Yes it can blow but where does the dust go?

Just be careful with the PC fans, heatsink , casing, psu and gpu. If you force spin them way beyond the rated rpm, it will cause damage to the bearings. Also don't blow too close or use too powerful to the board it will damage or bend smaller components.

Still have sweep the floor for the blown away dust.

Like i said, i usually blow outside, so don't matter. :(
Nothing much to blow indoor. :(

Even for my vacuum, i empty the dust outside, nearer to my neighbour's door :(
