METROVAC SK-1-12FT Air Force Blaster Sidekick Motorcycle Dryer Made in USA

This was a bit of an impulse buy for drying my car but it has become a fabulous utility item for all kinds of little tasks. Super well built and delivers a formidable airflow making it easy to remove standing water from mirrors, door handles & window frames and trim pieces before they drip and turn into water spots. But also super handy for blowing leaves out the garage!

This blower has lots of power. Made of a stronger material than most. I use to hate washing my bike because I hated to dry it. It didn’t matter how many towels you used, there was always water left. No longer have to worry about water spots. Highly recommend.

This is my second Metro Vacuum Blaster Sidekick. My last one lasted 12 years. Only reason it died was it developed a short in the pigtail cord, but that was my fault from doing a loop in the connection between the unit's cord and my extension cord for all those years. I don't do that anymore (old construction site habit). I used the old one on three vehicles literally at least once a week, or sometimes even more. The new unit is just as powerful, if not more powerful than the old one. It really hasn't changed much, which is a good thing. When the old one conked out, I found out how much I depend on the Blaster. It's amazing how much water you can get blown out of all the crevices and crannies on my cars and truck. It's perfect for drying tires and rims before applying wheel products or tire dressing. I'm thrilled Metro Vacuum is still making these units. Just buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Love it, not cordless, but it has a long cord, very powerful. mainly used to clean off patio.

Awesome 👏🏼 just bought my second unit! First one purchased in 2021; still working great! Second unit bought today, 2026, to keep with my detail business.

Excellent product, at a reasonable price. Powerful wind velocity, nice warm air. Should be great for drying my Harleys after washing !!

Super powerful great product had mine for 3 years still works great

Didn't expect much from such a small blower but this thing puts out a surprising amount of air. Originally purchased with the intent of getting water out from the crevices of my car. Decided to dry the entire car (a small SUV) and it actually does a decent job. The sidekick will not dry the car completely but does about 85-90% of the job. I would say it's similar to the blowers in an automated car wash. Before having the sidekick, I would use a large micro fiber drying tower and would have to wring the towel dry about 5-6 times before the car was dry. With the sidekick, I just have to go over the car lightly with the micro fiber towel and it is barely damp when I'm done. While the sidekick does not save a ton of time, it does make the drying process much less labor-intensive and reduces the amount of physical contact necessary to dry the car. Also found that it works well to blow out my PC of dust bunnies.

Great product. Cuts down car drying significantly when combined with microfiber or waffle towel drying. Great for blowing out water in wheels, cracks, and crevices for wax preparation.

I will say this little machine is really good. I bought it just for the small-medium detail work,grill,mirrors and hatches and rims.The power is really good. Compaired it to a couple other machines and just did not compare. It is about 6 lbs. and easy to handle especially if you have a SUV.

Excelente. Tiene suficiente potencia, lo que le podría criticar es que el cable de conexión que tiene es muy pequeño, apenas tiene 50 cm

C est magic cette affaire Très puissant et ça pousse tellement fort. Je l utilise pour le nettoyage et le depoussierage de HVAC.

muy útil muy diverso realmente si seca si despeja muy bien el agua el polvo limpia muy bien tiene muy buena fuerza al principio de comprarla lo dude pero ahora lo uso cada que limpio o lavo el auto la moto la bicicleta etc si vale casa centavo
