Bellows-Duster, where to buy?

    Hello,
    I live in Dublin and I have tried everywhere I could think of to buy a bellows-duster (sometimes called a puff-duster). Nobody seems to stock them!

    They sell them on Amazon - but they look for near £30 Sterling plus postage which is an outrageous price for a bit of plastic.

    I've tried Homebase, Argos and many hardware shops.

    Thanks.

    There's a place on O'Connell St that sells them.

    I think you can get them in the 18th century, that's what I hear anyway

    Are you set on investing in owning one outright or is rental an option?
    Are you looking for economy, mid range or a rolls royce Bellows-Duster?

    About time too. Last time I was in there all they sold was one particular item.

    Great warranty on it though :)

    And a lovely Tardis it is too :)

    Now, considering I had no idea what exactly a Bellows Duster does, I had a little look on Amazon.
    According to that::: Bellows Duster for application of dusts and small granular baits into voids, cracks, crevices and other tight spaces.

    I'm confused. Why would you go out of your way to put dust into cracks and crevices? :confused:

    No not anymore, they are targeting a different clientele now. They stock fleshlights though.

    No idea, I only go there for bellows dusters. My bellows is fierce dusty in the warm weather. Nothing annoys me more than a dusty bellows.

    It's for dusting things like insecticide powder into cracks and crevices. Not for making them dusty!

    TheZohan reckons they have them in O'Connell Street - could you be more specific about where in O'Connell Street?

    That would be great.

    Somebody said they're available in "18th Century". Is that the name of a shop?

    And Peterson's? They're the cigar people? Wonder why they'd sell bellows dusters? But I'll try anyhow.

    Bellows dusters are very useful for blowing insecticide into tiny cracks in walls, wooden floors etc. where things like silverfish live and breed. An aerosol will hit a wide area around the site and will not penetrate properly. With a bellows duster you can get powder right in where you want it. Good hardwares should stock them and I guarantee they'd shift them if they did.

    Just an economy/domestic one is all I need - not industrial level.
