How ToolsToday blasts a pile of sawdust off the workbench with BLOWZER

A tool store that films its own shop

ToolsToday sells router bits, saw blades and woodworking tools, and its YouTube channel is where the store shows that gear at work. The set is a bright retail shop: a red Omniwall full of tool cases and clamps, an Amana Tool banner on the wall, and a long beech workbench out front with dog holes along the edge. The presenter wears the ToolsToday cap and a #TeamTOOLSTODAY shirt.

This Short is just 16 seconds, set to music, with no talking. It does one job and lets the picture make the case. ToolsToday titled it "This Thing Makes Sawdust Disappear Fast", and it's a separate post from the store's longer shop reel about the X6.

One heap of sawdust, one blast

It opens on a neat cone of sawdust piled in the middle of the bench. The presenter stands behind it, raises the BLOWZER X6 and pulls the trigger. The heap lifts into a brown cloud and the camera cuts close as the dust rolls past the lens.

A second, wider angle shows the cleanup pass: he works the X6 across the bench and the chips the first blast left behind blow off the far edge. There is no nozzle on the barrel for this job; the bare outlet moves the most air across a flat surface.

Product shot and the case

Then the pace changes. The X6 drops into frame and stands upright on the bench in front of his shirt, the grey-and-black body and the Sabrent mark on the grip in sharp focus. The last shot opens the zippered case on the bench to show the X6 nested with its nozzles, then closes it with an orange ToolsToday tag on the lid.

The description says what the music doesn't. "Sometimes the simplest tools end up being the ones we use the most!" the store writes. They say they've been using it all over the shop, from workbenches to CNC machines and collets, and that it has become one of their favorite tools to keep around, so much so that ToolsToday now stocks the X6 (item TF-BZX6).

Why it matters at your bench

Sawdust on a bench is not just untidy. It hides your pencil lines, gets under a square and scratches the next workpiece. A blower within arm's reach turns the cleanup into a two-second habit between cuts instead of a job for the end of the day.

Copy ToolsToday's order: a wide blast for the open surface, then a low second pass for the chips in the holes and corners, then a narrow nozzle for collets and machine crevices. Point the dust toward the floor or a collection bin, not toward the rest of the shop, and wear eye protection.
