Industrial High-Speed Blower
The Metro SK-1-IND Air Force Blaster Sidekick is a portable industrial blower built for workshops and job sites. It delivers a maximum airflow of 80 cfm from a 1 1/4 hp motor running on 120V AC power at 60 Hz. The bi-directional air flow design adds versatility for drying, cleaning or ventilation tasks. A steel housing and transparent colour complete the unit.
Build Integration and Portability
The blower includes a 6 ft hose, air flare, blower nozzle, shoulder strap and two mounting hooks for flexible positioning. It draws 8.3 A at full load with a three-conductor supply and has zero integrated power outlets. The single-speed motor and hook mounting free up bench space while keeping the airflow directed where it is needed. Steel construction handles rough handling in mobile use.
Upgrade Context
This unit replaces lower-capacity shop fans or single-direction blowers when 80 cfm bi-directional flow is required. The jump is worth it for operators who need portable, high-volume air movement without a multi-speed control scheme. Buyers who need variable speed settings, built-in power distribution or a different voltage platform will not find those features here.

Questions about this item
How long can the 1¼ hp motor run continuously before thermal limits activate?
The blower draws 8.3 A at 120 V on a 60 Hz circuit and is rated for industrial duty, so the motor is built to run continuously without tripping its internal thermal protector.
How loud is the unit and how much heat does it add to a small room during all-day use?
With a single-speed 1¼ hp motor moving 80 cfm through a 6 ft hose, the unit produces noticeable fan noise and exhausts warm air, raising ambient temperature in confined spaces.
What power connection must already be on site for this blower to operate?
It requires a standard 120 V AC outlet on a 60 Hz supply capable of delivering at least 8.3 A, and the 3-conductor cord plugs directly in with no additional adapters.
