Showerthought: Some techs swear by canned air, I swear by my Metro DataVac

I used to go through about 12 cans of Dust-Off a year for cleaning PCs in my shop outside Phoenix. Then I dropped 60 bucks on a Metro DataVac electric duster last March, and it has paid for itself three times over by now. No more cold cans, no more sputtering spray, just steady blowing power that actually gets the dust bunnies out of power supplies. Has anyone else switched from canned air to electric and seen the same kind of difference?

Honestly, have you used compressed air on something delicate like a vintage GPU? I feel like electric dusters can blast a capacitor right off the board if you're not careful.

The sheer air pressure alone could knock a capacitor flying!
