At KickAss, we’re all about gear that works hard, plays harder, and saves you time at camp. Our KickAss Jet Blower range does just that — giving you a powerful burst of air wherever you need it. Whether you’ve got the compact Jet Blower or the high-output Jet Blower Max (with bonus inflation nozzle), here are ten clever ways to put them to work on your next adventure.
1. Dry Wet Clothes – Fast
Rain, river crossings, or washing day at camp — the Jet Blower is on hand to quick-dry your gear. Hang your clothes and blast them with a steady stream of air to speed up drying time, even in humid weather. No need to waste battery power running a heater or risking your gear near the fire.
2. Blow Sand and Dust Out of Your Tent
Whether you’re on the beach or in the outback, sand can get EVERYWHERE! A few gusts from your Jet Blower clears it out of your tent, swag, or rooftop setup in seconds. You’ll pack up cleaner, save time, and keep grit out of your bedding and zips.
3. Keep Your 4WD or Van Clean
Sand… dirt… dust… crumbs… whatever it is that’s making your vehicle look grubby, the Jet Blower will make short work of it. Use it to blast out hard-to-reach corners, door sills, seat runners and drawers. It’s like having a mini leaf blower for your rig — minus the noise and petrol.
4. Start Fires Like a Pro
Forget fanning with a plate. Aim your Jet Blower at the kindling and get your campfire or BBQ coals roaring in seconds. The precise airflow gives your fire just enough oxygen to kick off without blowing ash everywhere.
5. Dry Off Your Pets
Muddy pup? Wet fur? No problem. The Jet Blower makes drying your dog quick and easy after a swim, keeping them comfy and your tent mud-free. It’s gentler than a hair dryer and way more portable.
6. Clean and Dry Gear After Rain
Camping chairs, awnings, tarps, and mats often cop a soaking. Use the Jet Blower to clear off surface water and dry them before packing up. You’ll prevent mould, reduce weight, and protect your gear from damage on the trip home.
7. Inflate Air Mattresses & Gear (Jet Blower Max Only)
The Jet Blower Max takes things up a notch with its built-in inflation nozzle. Whether you’re setting up an air bed, inflatable kayak or pool toy, it’ll get the job done in record time — no more huffing, puffing or hunting for a separate pump.
8. Kickstart a BBQ or Camp Oven
Struggling with sluggish coals? Give them a boost with a gentle burst from your Jet Blower. You’ll have your hotplate ready for snags in no time. It’s the secret weapon of every serious camp chef.
9. Cool Off on Scorching Days
Sometimes all you need is a quick blast of air to stay sane in the heat. Use your Jet Blower as a portable cooling fan when you’re sitting around camp, tinkering on your setup, or even working in the shed back home.
10. Blow Out Hard-to-Reach Spots at Home
From dust under the fridge slide to dirt behind drawers, your Jet Blower handles those tricky corners where brushes and cloths can’t reach. Perfect for keeping your camp kitchen, canopy and storage areas spotless between trips.
