M12 Blower vs M18 Precision Blower
I have been looking at picking up the M18 Precision blower for use around the shop to blow off tools and filters, etc. It is currently $250 here in Canada. I like the idea of the convenience of the small size and precision nozzle. Seems like something that could be really useful.
I then got to thinking about the M12 spot blower, as I saw an advertisement that it is at $140 ($110 in savings vs the M18 precision). It seems pretty small and compact (especially if you ran it without the extension), but doesn't look to have any available adapters to get that smaller precise use out of it.
When looking at the specs of the 2, the MPH rating on the M18 is waaaay higher, but the CFM is a lot lower. This of course makes sense as you concentrate a smaller volume of air through a narrower opening to get precision and speed, vs larger area coverage.
That all being said, any thoughts or opinions from people who might have had the chance to use both? Would I be missing out if I saved the $110 and used the M12 with the smaller adapter?
Thanks.
