Where to buy compressed air from?

Defy Belief · 13 Aug 2013 at 11:25

Need to clean a few parts of my computer from dust so I'm going to be needing some compressed air.

Where is the best place? I know it's been sold in poundland etc before but I can't see that being all the time, **** want £10 for 200ml can.

I kinda want it today so it writes off an online purchase for now, if nowhere stock it it'll have to be.

Responses maybe restricted by our no competitor policy. To be honest you're best off with a clean soft paint brush and a vacuum cleaner.

I thought that might be the case.

but I knew poundland have sold it so didn't know if there were any other shops in a town centre that are likely to sell it at a reasonable price.

It's mainly for a WC rad and fans.

Use a bike pump (one of the cheap ones that look like a stick) with a football adapter on the end, works for me and can be reused.
No risk of moisture from the can either!

Good idea that. Might get some weird looks though

I managed to pick up a can for £4, all done and clean

Few degrees off temps too even though it wasn't that bad.

Best bit? I got ID'd to buy compressed air, i'm 23..

In case you tried to snort it?

I'd rather get ID'd for compressed air than the non alcoholic mojito mix I got from Sainsburys, I tried to explain it wasn't alcoholic... I am 26...

You get ID'd these days for buying a fairly blunt fork. O.o

Just be thankful you still *look* like you could be under age

I use an electric airbed pump, it works well and cost about a tenner. Although it is a little difficult to position due to its size.

ID wise I still get ID'd mostly for for films and games, I can normally buy alcohol without being ID'd. I was ID'd when buying MAG (15) a few years ago, I was 20 at the time.

Sounds like it's a long time since someone was ID'd

Good thing I've got my youthful good looks!

I wouldn't care that much, but I don't think I've shaved for 2 months and I have dreadlocks which are down past my man boobs.

Actually think my dreadlocks were older than the person serving me

I don't know why, but I want to see a picture of you, korso
