If he was Welsh, unquestionably.
So what frivolous things have you bought lately? Why?

I've got one, and it's pretty good. Pressure is just right for bike washing, and we've even turned it right down and washed muddy dogs with it, attached to a bucket of warm water.
I purchased a much cheaper version of it & it only lasted 30 seconds before the pump gave up.
The failure happened so quickly I'm guessing it's something really simple like the impeller coming adrift?
Taking it apart for a look, is on my massive "to do" list

Lord! I never knew there was such a thing! Or a need for such a thing! I try not to even wash my bikes as I understand from TV that 'Patina' is the 'in thing'!

I use my Makita 4T garden blower…..
I’ve seen F1 teams using them on brakes & rads for short stops minus the two extensions.

I've got a very similar blower to the one Judd has purchased (only mines not pink
). IMO they are a very good idea, as after washing a bike a lot of water sits in places that can't be reached with a chamois or towel, and even running the engine to temperature does not remove it, this sitting water can cause corrosion. It also removes water from electrical components and switch gear (if you blow across rather than directly at).
Definitely do not tell @BAD LUCK DUCK , he'll have a heart attack!Oooo, suits you Sir!

The pet blowers have heaters but any domestic vacuum that can be set to blow by shifting the hose will work. The metalwork quickly sucks the heat away anyway. It is amazing how quickly you can get a streak free (
Jez’s arse) finish. Particularly effective at drying rad matrices for oil and water.

Ah well you see @Scrappy if you didn't WASH your bike you wouldn't need a blower! If the dirt becomes too think you wipe some of it off with an oily rag and of course the oil from the rag then protects the finish. Gotta maintain the Patina! Of course if you really must 'blow' things you can always do the manly thing and use a big air compressor.

My OCD would never allow that
Patina in my book just means knackered, and is a subversive term used by some to flog other people crap
