I like the Vortex. The grip is different than the Tornador which fits my hand better. But no other issues or concerns and been using the vortex for about a year. I like and used both.
Thanks for this!! I think I just found a way to air dry my motorcycle after a wash in all the nooks of the engine, etc. ! Not to mention I think this will help clean the interiror of our vehicles
I had a knock off that was super durable and thought I was upgrading to the tornador, I donated the knock off and the detailer is still using it and it's a tank. And I'm on my end tornador
Yeah bro they’re terrible honestly they were great for a couple weeks weeks about it. But did you see that new groats garage blowout tool that came out?
Perfect timing bro I was just checking the two out last night. I was going to order the vortex anyways but this video confirmed what I was thinking about the two. 👍💯
I didn’t break the cone but actually wore a hole through it with my. Or Tex from using so much. Bought a new cone with a metal sleeve. Works great. Good honest video

Get the cheap tornado with the solution can. But the one with the metal piece inside take the container off and just use the gun i never had any issues with mine 5 years now I have it for.... just a suggestion you should check it out man
@@Buddyclub33 yea i know that but I was saying if you just want the blow out tool only hahhahaa.... I'm not a just come detailer I have both with the container and with out and if you don't want to carry around that bulky container ✌🏾
Forgive my ignorance, as I have never used a air blow out tool like the Tornador before. Why not use a leaf blower for the exterior? Wouldn't that be faster?
Thanks for the honest review. Just one suggestion, perhaps wrapping a bit of duct tape around the plastic end of the blowout tool could help reduce the risk of it breaking when you drop it.
@@StaySlick totally agree. Maybe there is a market for stronger 3d printed ones. They are a couple of hundred dollars each here in New Zealand and around $18 for the replacement funnel piece.
Can the vortex spray apc out of a bottle? Also wanted to mention that I've been watching all your videos, I always make sure to use your affilate link. I Apreiate all the knowledge you're sharing its been super helpful.
Thank you brother I appreciate that. These don’t have tanks and I don’t believe Vortex makes one with a tank but I know the Torador with the tank does blow APC.
You really want to stay above 5.0 cfm at 90psi. You could go with what he has which is the Rigid OF45200SS, the FORTRESS 57391, or go with something a little bit pricey, California Air Tools 4620AC. I have the California Air Tools. It’s lighter. Smaller. Less refill time. And the quieter of most air compressors.
Great video I just subbed as well! My question is what is the benefit or difference between these tools and a pistol type blower? I see the cone maybe helps with not damaging wheels or interior pieces when it hits almost like a bumper around it but what else would you say is the benefit to this as opposed to the pistol type blower most compressors come with? thanks man
It creates a vortex of air so it has a better chance of dislodging debris and water also it cost far less than buying a car dryer. Thank you for subbing welcome to the family
Both tools have their place. The single pin point is great for precision accuracy. Great for the creases inside the seats. Edge work etc. the vortex is amazing for dog hair. For the carpet and for the headliner ever. You need both
The reason these guns are vastly superior to a simple air gun is this: 1.)These devices are switching airflow-direction hundreds of times per second. 2.) A standard airgun only changes direction if you move it. Instead of carpet, picture a helicopter landing on a field of tall grass. The grass lays down flat, (most likely in a conical pattern moving outward from the helicopter)... and stays there. Same with the tip of your blow-gun. The carpet-fibers all lie-down and stay down. Now picture multiple choppers landing on the field, and how many different directions the grass would be blowing...not laying down. fibers don't have time to lay down before the dirt is blown away. Sorry if that doesn't help, lol! but it is the closest i can get to an explanation of why they work so well!
I don't really see the difference between this and an air chuck. I have several regular air chucks and some high volume air chucks. You can buy all sorts of air chucks and/or air chuck attachments that don't cost anywhere near these prices. Then if i want to use the canister style to spray liquid I just use my hand 1qt hand pump sprayer. Exact same results for hundreds less. I ain't knocking it, we all love new tools. I just don't see spending on over inflated tool prices. Great videos by the way.
If you’ve never tried one I recommend the rag company air blow gun. It’s under $50. I promise if you haven’t tried these vortex style tools you’ll be in for a treat.
@@StaySlick I have the vortex air gun and the vortex air gun with the canister in my amazon cart. I came to youtube to see what all the hype is. So I'm on the fence right now. Like I said I love new toys so i might just pull that trigger right after I find some good nasty carpenter pickup truck carpet and upholstery cleaner for one of those carpet extractors I'm also on the fence about. The sprays under the head or into the head version like the in the head Streamliner extractor. Any insight you wanna share with me?
What is the difference between these tools and a regular tool from Home Depot, I’ve been using the regular ones for years and they really do the job just trying to see if there is a difference
The difference is that you don’t blow air straight to whatever you blowing. the tornador or vortex blow air to the sides where the regular air blower shoots straight air making it harder on plastic parts of the vehicle interior Yes, you can use the regular air blower gun for carpet instead of vacuum and get rid of pet hair and debris but I wouldn’t use it on sensitive car parts as Gary is showing on the video

Nice post man, just found you. I detail and I literally use both of the same guns. (sometimes at the same time) It’s very true, they’re both great. I’ve worn through many sleeves over the years and the metal ones are worthy their weight in gold they last 100 times longer. Just a note if no one mentioned it here - you CAN rebuild a vortex with a tornador rebuild kit, you may just need to trim the hose slightly if you’re still using vortex brand cone (it’s slightly shorter) Keep it coming!
My Manager mentioned that the Tornadors do not come with the steel-lined cone, but it can be bought as a replacement. From the video, it also appears that the new Tornador that is broken @ 7:19 , ...also does not have the metal sleeve. Odd.
Absolutely! You can use the straw from a Tornador rebuild kit in a Vortex, I do it myself. You just need to trim a little off the end of the straw as the Vortex brand cones are slightly shorter. You may have to slide the blue weights down slightly as well. Hope this helps! Also, you are correct - they don't come with the metal sleeved cones, but they realllllly should as they last 10x longer. @@ruserious9577
@@StaySlick I do it all the time with the crevice attachment. I can see why the blowout tool is helpful but it’s another investment and another machine (air compressor). For new detailers it would be a savings until they can afford to pay for it.
I have 2 vortex guns plus 2 tornadoes cleaning guns with canister plus I just got the vortex cleaning gun canister. They all work great and I don’t have any problems like you have. Maybe don’t beat your equipment up and you won’t have these problems.
It’s interesting though cuz I’ve had probably 4 vortex guns now and only one had issues with the rings. The others all leaked from the button behind the trigger. I had one tornador and the cone broke off in a day lol
they are the same except you have the inconvenience of returning the vortex once a month bc the same part keeps failing? I'll just pay the extra $20 avoid the headache of monthly returns and put a little duct tape on the tornador cone so it doesn't break. or just be more careful.
I don’t think you’re following. The tornador cone breaks within a day of normal use. Whereas the vortex under extreme use might break in a months time. I’ll take the vortex. Not to mention it’s more compact so it’s also more practical in tight spaces.
@@StaySlick i don't think you're following me lol. you said yourself "been through about 4 or 5 in 6 months" and the same part keeps breaking. so its a piece of crap then if you have to replace it monthly? just don't drop the tornador and put some duct tape on the cone and the problems solved? there are plenty of people who use these regularly, claiming they break in "one day of use" is BS and you know that. Also the longer neck on the tornador lets you get further into tight areas... but hey to each there own. Logically I'm not buying something that breaks consistently in one months time. if the tornador is breaking bc you drop it or are to rough then that's your fault not the product.
I have and use both. The regular air tip does a great job on a lot of tasks but sometimes the debris in the carpet is really stuck in the fibers and needs the extra force to be pushed out.
