Is it okay to use it to dry the car after washing?

I'd go with the blower that has 510 CFM at 130 MPH, it's generally better for drying a car compared to 220 CFM at 140 MPH. The much higher air volume moves more water, making the drying process faster and more effective, even if the MPH is a bit lower. It might be a little heavier, but you'll finish quicker, which makes up for it.

But what if the car is travelling at 140MPH?

Man, the sale price of this blower is $10 more than the milwaukee which is a better blower. I love Ryobi, but man they aren't the budget tools anymore. I'm all in one Ryobi, but I dont feel I will be getting this blower. DTO is doing another 40% off right now, not sure how long it will last

Thanks! Do you use the mini blower with the extensions?

I use it with the rubber attachment extension. Just in case you brush up against the paint, there's much less of a chance to scuff it up.

This definitely beats the heck out of my older 90 MPH 200CFM and still uses the same 18v battery. I'm impressed with it and its power. I got to used to my prior cheapo blower, light, ease of use, felt like a toy i could swing back and forth fast. This new one actually kicks and i need to use some force to keep it forward.
