Flextail has launched the Blast Air on Kickstarter, offering a compact air blower designed for cleaning electronics and small spaces. The device targets users who need a portable solution for dust removal without the bulk of traditional compressed gas cans. This release provides an alternative for hobbyists and technicians who prefer rechargeable tools over single-use consumables.
Kickstarter campaign raises over $193,000 for portable cleaning tool
The Blast Air is a handheld unit built around a high-speed motor and a built-in lithium battery. It features a Qi wireless charging pad integrated into the handle, allowing users to rest the device on a standard charging mat. The handle also includes a USB-C port for wired charging, giving buyers flexibility in how they power the tool.
Specifications
- Weight: 7.4 oz
- Airflow: 42.4 cubic feet per minute
- Max Air Speed: 145 mph
- Battery Runtime: 1 hour (lowest setting)
- Price: $69
Flextail claims the motor can move up to 42.4 cubic feet of air per minute with a maximum air speed of 145 mph. The unit weighs approximately 7.4 oz, making it light enough for extended handheld use. The manufacturer rates the battery for one hour of runtime at the lowest setting, though higher speeds will likely reduce this duration.
The company admits the device is less effective at removing air compared to its ability to blow it. The Kickstarter campaign has already raised over $193,000 against a $5,000 goal, indicating strong early interest. Buyers should note that crowdfunding projects carry risk, as the device has not yet entered mass production.
Flextail prices the Blast Air at $69 (around $69.00) for early backers. Shipping is planned for August 2026, giving the company time to finalize manufacturing. The product is available for pre-order globally through the Kickstarter platform.
