Reddit mentions: The best leaf blower & vacuum parts & accessories

cleaning it at first will seem daunting, but tbh, its not that bad.
putting it back together after cleaning everything is super easy.

I use one of these to push out the water

Well, I guess there are two issues.

1. Getting the heat out of the building
   
2. Providing direct airflow to humans to aid in evaporative cooling (sweating)
   
   Floor fans will do #2 but they won't do #1, at least not directly. They'll blow the air around, but not necessarily in or out of the building (although that will naturally happen to some lesser degree when the air blows around).
   
   To get heat out of the shop, if it's the type of unfinished space I'm imagining, you could just buy a gable fan that's meant for attics. You would mount it up in the "attic" (which I'm assuming is open to below) on the wall and it would blow the hot air out of the building.
   
   But you mention running a duct. Perhaps you aren't allowed to modify the building? If that's the case then yes, you could run a duct the way you're imagining. Something like this with this are designed for that purpose.

I have guards and they work really well. I would recommend them wholeheartedly, I have a couple trees near the house and I really don't ever have to mess with the gutters, I love it.

You can get an extension for your leaf blower so you don't have to get up there (https://www.amazon.com/WA4092-Universal-Gutter-Cleaning-Blowers/dp/B00EU6H4RW )

Also, you had a typo that I see a lot, adverse - you wanted "averse". :)

There is no replacement for displacement when it comes to HVAC.

Assuming your room is 10' x 10' with 8' ceilings would make it 800 cubic feet of air. With an Inline Duct fan like this one you would be changing the air every 3 minutes or so (the fan will loose CFM with every bend in the duct and with filtration). Make sure you have filtration on the intake because dust will kill the fan over time.

The noise will vary with the duct size and the fan size (bigger is usually fewer db/cfm). In most modern houses in Canada, HVAC installs an additional inline duct fan to maintain circulation for humidity and air changes. It is usually 6" or 8" similar to the one posted above and controlled by a standard light switch.

In your situation I would look into getting one of those wireless controlled wall plugs with a relay bar like this one (unless your wireless wall socket device can handle heavy inductive loads - consult the user manual because sometimes they don't and things will start on fire over time). This way you can keep the fan in the basement with all the duct and simply rig it up to plug into the remote controlled power bar, controlled from your room. Of course if it isn't too loud, set it up with a thermostat mounted in your room.

Kinda went on a tangent there, hope this helps.</end>

tl;dr - get a big fan, get bigger duct, install it in the basement with a remote control switch, do it with off the shelf stuff and don't be a hero with electricity.

I actually use this thing because I treat all my throws and .. I have a lot. But it works the same as compressed air cans I used to use (and ran out of).

Position the air nozzle tube from above facing down at the bearing, at an angle, so it is "pushing" the bearing like you'd push a wheel... of course the air is doing all the pushing. It gets going VERY fast, such that you can feel the vibration of the spinning bearing in the alu cups

I took a pic of how I do it, here:

I always switch sides to hyperspin it in the other direction, too.. how much I need to do this overall depends on the bearing and how much lube was in there. I use two drops because I like it to get all up in there and spread around, but most of it comes back out in the spinning, so it is very true you end up only needing a teeeeeny amount actually in the bearing.

(did I ever tell you about the time I accidentally grabbed the wrong lube pen and put thick lube in? super dark times, my friend..)

I use this and love it. It's great for the whole system, especially the heat sink fins. It's ESD safe: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6UE8T2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1#immersive-view_1498663906586

Get the esd safe version. They are a tiny bit stronger too, compared to our old white model.

I have this

It works great

So something like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EU6H4RW/ref=sspa_dk_detail_5?psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyNFRMMksxMFNZQUNPJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzkwODY0Mkg4WUlVVjhXMDNFViZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTI1NzU0VE00VVNGWTRSWjFQJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsMiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

They make shop vac attachments:

And leafblower attachments so you can do it even without climbing on your roof:

I think you would need a roof anchor. It attaches permanently to your roof and you tie off on to it. Something like this:

If you're only going up there to clean the gutters you might be able to reach them from ground with a leaf blower using a gutter cleaning tube. It's a long tube that attaches to the end of a leaf blower that has a 180 degree bend at the end of it. You stand on the ground with this attached to the leaf blower and you direct it to blow out your gutters. I used to have a single story house with a very steep roof and used this to clean out the gutters. It makes a huge mess, but it does seem to get the job done.

This is the model I've used with my Echo blower: https://www.amazon.com/99944100025-Gutter-Cleaning-Blowers-Posi-Loc/dp/B003ZGQX8Y

Maybe this for cleaning

I actually don't recommend using compressed air if at all possible as the cans typically contain propellants that can end up being harmful to your keyboard internals like the PCB and switches in the long run.

If the keyboard is really dirty, I use a DataVac which, while pricey at $100, is considerably cheaper than buying cans of compressed air over the long run. The DataVac is used to clean my PC regularly anyway so it's a good investment and after half a dozen uses has already paid for itself.

For light cleaning I use a Giottos Rocket Air Blaster to blow away dust and other small particles. Anything stuck on or dried I use Isopropyl alcohol and Q tips to clean up.

Keycaps that are dirty get a warm water bath and are air dried over a microfiber cloth. Once they're dry they get wiped with the same microfiber cloth. Anything dirty inside is cleaned with Q tip and Isopropyl alcohol and a soft toothbrush is used for the inside and around the stems.

When not in use I keep the keyboards in individual sleeves which I recently got custom made by the wife.
