Blow it all off
















This is the Airzooka, a hand-held piece of plastic attached to more plastic by plastic, but who cares what it’s made of? The only thing you need to know is that it blows air over 20 feet. That’s right, using only your two bare hands you can send blasts of air at anyone or anything within range. And 20 feet turns out to be a lot farther than you might think. Go get a tape measure and find out! The blasts of air are also nothing to sneeze at.

You’ll never run out of ammo or targets, making this one of those rare gifts that truly keeps on giving. You should see it blow lizards across the back porch, annoy the dog, or wake up a snoring sleeper (via the return-a-snore setting). And, boy, do bees and wasps hate it, especially at close range. Best of all, so far, has been watching a not-too-bright neighbor try using his Airzooka to do yard clean-up after mowing. I haven’t even had mine for a month yet, and already three people have told me that if I use it again in their presence, they’ll never speak to me again. Makes dusting and many other household chores a breeze! Makes a breeze! Less expensive than a fan, cost-free to operate, and guaranteed to last until you puncture the thin plastic, which turns out to be pretty essential. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, because I had to learn this the ugly way.
