Bellows and manual air blowers for dust and debris removal
A bellows or manual air blower provides a simple, reliable way to clear dust and debris from boreholes, fixings and tight spaces without needing compressed air equipment. These hand-operated tools are essential for preparing drill holes before inserting chemical anchors, resin cartridges and expansion bolts, where residual dust can compromise bond strength.
Spit and Fischer bladder pumps are specifically designed for cleaning anchor holes in concrete and masonry to meet manufacturer installation requirements. HiKOKI, DeWalt and Makita supply bellows that complement their drilling and fixing systems, ensuring compatibility across your toolkit. The compact design fits easily into a tool bag or trouser pocket for convenient access on site.
No batteries, no power cables and no ongoing maintenance are required. Simply squeeze the bellows to produce a directed air stream that removes fine dust and particles from even deep boreholes. These six products offer a cost-effective solution that every installer and fitter should carry as standard equipment.
