Ok, so I'm thinking about a replacement for an electric balloon pump, has anyone used an air compressor or a tire inflator instead? I could get one from my dad and it would be better than paying $300 for an electric pump, I know its not as convenient because some air compressors are not as small or portable but I just want to know if anyone has done it and what nozzles have you used, or if its a tire inflator, how did you do it? or I don't know, do you think it could work? am I crazy for thinking this?
Thank you, any advice would help. http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardware-......Id=10053 http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stor......43658635

THe first one is not so great because of the nozzle on it. Unless your planning of changing it out.
The second is better because you can pick your own connectors. I have used a Huskey air compressor before ... it will be noisy as the tank fills.

First of all I loved your DVD and second thanks for the reply, ok so I'm not crazy or we both are, I think I'll get the husky, I know it will be loud but it only does it for a short time, or I could let it build pressure and turn it off until I run out of air presure turn it on again and let it build up again for a few minutes, I'm glad this is doable, I wanted something strong for 350q's.
Thanks again. Ps: why hats?

Go to a scuba shop, and get a compressed air tank. just have a hose made up to go to an blow gun.
It looks crazy, but the tanks hold a lot of air. And it is dead quiet. |
