    Tornador cleaning gun questions?

    This weekend I attended Mikes boot camp and we used that tool. WOW that's all I can say. I had the same question, I don't own a compressor, and Im mobile. to operate this machine you need a compressor 3.5 cfm and a constant 90 psi. Thers allot of portable ones out there that you can buy.
