Best Trip Ever!!
My wife and I stayed in the summer of 2012, and it turned out to be the best trip we've ever taken. We had planned a number of activities for our trip, and when we arrived, Audrey gave us tips on what to do (and what not to do). We like the less-touristy activities, and she gave tons of recommendations for things to do! We felt like locals the whole time. The place was just what we needed - king bed, kitchen, washer/dryer, close to downtown. We could walk anywhere in downtown within minutes. Audrey made us feel like part of her family, and we will definitely be back!!!

While the word "museum" might not initially set your tot's eyes (or yours, for that matter) aglow with excitement, you both might be surprised at how unstuffy a day at the museum can be.
The locations below in and around Manhattan offer exhibits that cater to the younger crowd, which means they're specially designed to be interactive, colorful, and fun, as well as educational. Some may build on your child's school curriculum while others might introduce something totally new, but each specializes in creating an environment that brings learning and playing together for children-and, of course, their grown-ups are welcome too!

Exactly as the title says, this is a decent quality blow gun kit, nothing compared to some of the tool truck brands though. It blows debris or fluids away with ease, but I am concerned about the reliability of it.
via sears.com
I bought these when I purchased my new craftsman air compressor. They are a must for cleaning filters. Most vacuums don't ever get their filters cleaned and with this set it is so easy.
Raleigh, NC

I just got this Quick-Change Blow Gun Kit for the shop. I was excited about the quick change adapter on the tip of the gun. I like the extended safety tip. But, I am not really impressed with the quick change adapter. It is just a "normal" style quick change type adapter with the sliding collar. But, the adapter just attaches on to the threads of the various tips. I do not find it very secure at all. It seemed okay when un-pressurized. But, if you do not get it on perfectly or bump it wrong while in use, the tip goes flying. Maybe I just need to get used to it, but I am not taking the risk. I unscrewed the Quick-Change and simply screwed in the standard safety tip we use. Overall, I am a bit disappointed. The gun itself is very nice and comfortable to hold, but in the future, I will simply buy the gun without the quick-change kit.

works good haven't had a problem with it yet just gotta make sure I put the nozzles in all the way before putting air to the gun cause sometimes they don't like to lock in place other then that its a good gun
Belfair, WA
via sears.com
I bought this kit to help me at work. We need the safety style nozzles, and the long reach is good for cleaning the air filter on the CNC. Where I have run into problems is the nozzles keep blowing off the coupler, flying up to 15 feet through the machine frame and beyond. Perhaps mine is a bad unit, overall I like it, but flying nozzles are not a good thing around a brand new machine.

I am a mechanic for a large bakery. I use the Craftsman Quick-Change Blow Gun Kit on my job everyday. It is essential to be able to change from one application to another quickly to keep a bakery running. I use it to blow out lines and hard to reach places. A very versatile tool. And great price.

This tool is a good space saver to have in your tool box. The fittings connect and disconnect quickly and easily. All parts needed were included in the set. I would recommend this tool for anyones tool set.
Longmont, Colorado
via sears.com
To use the quick-change adapter, one must have at least (3) devices that fit on the nozzles. These are not in the kit. I was not able to find them on the Sears site either. Hopefully a trip to a Sears store will reveal what and where they are. As a temporary fix, the quick-change adapter can be unscrewed and the nozzles can be threaded into the handle. Otherwise it works fine. CMF1953
