Mellif M18 Powered High Volume Air Duster

- It’s been a few weeks since recording this and I have some real world experience with it now. As far as blowing off forklifts the little M12 blower still is my preferred option. Mostly because I can stand up and do it from a little distance. Where this tool shines is in those tight areas. I wouldn’t say it’s as good as an air compressor but it’s close enough to keep from having to start it up. It does what it’s intended to do and it does it well.

The LITERALLY ripped off Makita. I have had a Makita one for about a year now and besides the charge connector part the rest looks near identical to the lanyard/carabiner hook at the back and dust filter to the attachments using a near identical connector also you don't really need to twist the attachments in to place that is only when you remove it as they clip in to place when you push them in without you having to pull on the plastic release mechanism. Makita only includes the 5 blowing inflating attachments though (not the flexi hose or the deflating one but they do sell these as additional ones and they have others besides these and in the included pamphlet for the tool they advertise some of these accessories and for the flexi hose they advertise it as being for cleaning out electronics in hard to reach areas in an included photo which is useful for me as I do work on computers). If you want a good reliable branded one (it was around twice the cash though) go get the Makita the warranty will be better too and it has all the same features too but Makita also has extra available attachments and replacement filters and attachments
Bought the Makita DAS180Z/ADSA01Z almost a year ago and has saved me a small fortune on air cans. The... er...chuck/collet/adapter or what ever you want to call it and the adapters look suspiciously the same, there's a lot of adapters for the DAS180Z/ADSA01Z and they are dirt cheap, might be worth picking one up to see if it the same.
If it is I highly recommend the Blower Nozzle 191X15-3 + Long Nozzle Set 191X78-9 (the long nozzle attaches to the blower nozzle, which attaches to the blower), has easily been the most useful of all the attachments I bought. The back also looks the same and so if you can't find filters for it, the Makita ones should fit, there is also a secondary hepa filter you can attach to the back 191X29-2.
Hope you have some fun with it :)
I have no idea why I follow you since I don't really care about technology but you are kinda cool
Possibly his shorts. They're super different from his long format. He's hilarious and has gone viral a few times, that's probably why you followed
He makes funny shorts, making fun of people showing dumb DIY “techniques”
You here for the crackhead video reviews
Same here
I appreciate it either way 😁👍🏻
I just bought this last month for dusting electronics and computers and it is ungodly loud, but it works quite well.
Any good for iPhone charging port detritus?
She’s a screamer 😁
@@its_marc Use blu(or any other) tack for that.
I have this tool and use it for inflating beds and toys.
It works pretty good for that. I like the fact it'll pull a vacuum when deflating.
Not in here mister, this is a Mercedes!
You are slowly filling the TH-cam void that was left when AvE became a weirdo and then disappeared.
who's AvE?
He’s been doing this a LONG time. My guess is he’s feeling a little burn out.
I love me some funk, but no one fills the Ave void.
@@Legitster soooooo.... who's AvE?
@@Bapuji42Soooo.... do you not know how to search? See that magnifying glass icon? Type in AvE. And seeing how this is a tool review, try typing in "AvE tool review" and wouldn't you know it there's a channel called: AvE..... mind blown.
been using a reversed dyson v6 for a few years and thers nothing like a 100krpm turbine that can blow air like that
Really appreciate these 15 minute videos because they are nice while I have a break at the factory
makita originaly made this design
Great review, give you 10 points for honesty, and stage presence. Head to head really shows that they are two different tools for two different jobs, so going to have to take away 8 points. But you'll get 6 back for admitting to the unscientific process, and 4 extra because my wife (also) loves your shorts that I'm poorly imitating. 10/10.
Save the two for a hater or donate them to a reviewie most in need.
Thanks! I think? I got to do the math 😜👍🏻
I got the Ryobi mattress inflater thing, cut the tip and I use that as a blower.
😂 Dude, you gutted me with the peehole comment. Made me question my age and maturity for a minute lol
Haha 😜
This is a counterfeit tool/brand. They stole this off Makita. I have the real genuine Makita and I use it everyday.
They’re both made in China so it’s fair game as far as I’m concerned.
We need @PeterSripol to make this thing fly!
Haha If anyone can do it he can
I just got mine a few days ago. Good for moving dust and debris. Very portable. Not nearly the same pressure as from a air compressor but I would say its 2-3x more than the air output you'd get if you use the blower function on a shop vac. Note: it is pretty loud and has a slight (3-5sec) ramp up.
Intresting product thank you funk. Looks useful to clean my refrigerator coils instead of dragging the air compressor in the house .
"Milf duster (With fun-time adapter)" was it's working name during the design phase.
I would feel like too much of a dandy using that thing.
Don’t they have one that has a gyrating feather that can slap away dust on my window blinds? 😁
Appreciate the spaceballs reference!
Haha 😜👍🏻
Ryobi actually makes the best one. It's impressive. It's more of a jobsite deal though.
I seen the one and Makita makes one too. I think this one is highly inspired by the Makita version.
I’ve got the yellow version. It works pretty well. It does not work with the 5ah powerstack batteries. I was using it outdoors and a cicada was all over it trying to mate with it.
I have the makita one it fills a kind of niche hole, like you i have a small leaf blower but i still find jobs for this.
If your a camping family I'd definitely recommend this for airbeds👍
I have it as well, overpriced as hell imo but it works for certain tasks
@battiestelf sorry meant the makita version of the one he's reviewing for about £30 I had to give it a go, the real makita one would be hard to justify 🤑
I own the Dewalt version it's not the mellif name I call it my cordless air line. Works great
I've got a tire inflator from these guys using the Milwaukee batteries and I was genuinely surprised with it. I use it for car and motorcycle tires all the time. Plus I use it to compress my sure shot sprayer too. Pretty handy little guy for a decent price.
Their stuff I’ve seen is at least decent. The price is right if it’s not.
I did the same for 50 bucks have one in my car work van and wires car
I enjoy the real world input on your tool reviews. I recently got one of the AliExpress small rectangular blower for the same purposes and I'm pretty impressed for it's size and weight. I believe its called the X3 or similar powered by (2) 21700 cells. Also I remember a while back you were talking about field soldering irons. I originally liked the M12, but found the heating element way too fragile. My new go to is the pincel V2 and I run it off an m18 battery with adapter. It's a very nice portable set
I’ve seen that one or something like it. My only worry is the battery. They tend to put the cheapest ones they can find in stuff like that.
@@FunkFPV I actually had a feeling that they are using decent ones to get the performance that they do from it. Seems like a pretty high amp discharge cell. I'll post here when I pull that battery apart. I likely will rebuild the 2 cell pack with molicel p45bs
i thought this was an FPV channel. WHERE ARE THE SICK RIPSSSSS lol
I still have my gear. I just don’t use it anymore 😢
Nice Video Wes 👍
Serious question here, do you recommend going into the forklift service? I'm an automotive technician and getting sick of the flat rate pay and not having a union like all the other trades
Haha I just recorded a video where I talk about that. It’ll be out in a couple weeks. The title will have something to do with “ hydraulic tools”.
To answer your question. Yes, 100% we get a lot of our new techs from automotive. They make the crossover easily and like it way more. Every one of them do it for the same reasons you’re talking about.
Just to add to funk's reply, I agree. Most of our guys started out on cars and I came from an automotive background too, and enjoy forklifts much better. There is some freedom in being a road tech. you're not usually stuck in the same shop day after day. But the downside to that is you're out in the elements a lot. So get used to being hot/cold/wet depending on the weather in your area. As far as the work it's self goes, if you can work on a car chances are you'll be ok on a forklift. The lp fuel systems are a little different, but most of them are simple. The hydraulic systems have a bit of a learning curve, but aren't bad either. I would say if you have the opportunity to make the switch, give it a try. I don't regret it one bit.
We aren't union in my area, it might be different in your area though.
A buddy of mine has a blower from makita looks really similar.
I think this is a copy of that
Twisty locky thing is a GOATED quote 😆 great videos youve been doin my man
😁👍🏻
i have a dewalt one, good for cleaning off tools at the end of the day, an irish tool repair guys videos i watch recommended melliff, he did a tool breakdown of a few tools and said they were solidly built
6:43 "thats a joke of course" after watching this someone will try it and end up in emergency 😬
It’s sad but you have to say it 😂😂
Well, at least the battery power level icon was flashing at you, like hey, you're getting very low. Would have been nicer if it cut off at 13.5 volts, but at least it gives you an honest warning, and gives you 1/2 a volt to just finish something up before swapping out to a fresh battery.
I bought this and never was delivered was refunded bit wanted one they also make a m18 stick pump
Just bought one of these bc of this vid, great for cleaning computers and cat hair
How does it compare to the quad copter leaf blower “hack”?
😂
I need one for my gaming rig
I own a handful of meliff tools and they will kill your batteries if you’re not careful. Meliff was really cool and refunded the cost but it does make me nervous to use my nice batteries. Only use my old batteries with them now.
This thing absolutely cannot replace canned air, at least not with electronics. Canned air has a property that cannot be replicated and this property is extremely important in electronics. The canned air is sometimes called "freeze spray" because going from a liquid to a gas absorbs enormous amounts of heat and that makes the spray extremely cold. So if you have a suspect component, you can either freeze it with the can or heat it with the soldering iron.
I’ll never use on a computer so 🤷🏻♂️
Man I was looking at this for keeping the work van clean
Love ya
😘
Mellif is a buy a few thousand of it and slap your name on it and a American made in the USA sticker type of brand
I don’t think they claim to be made in America
I've been working with Mellif for a while now, they make great stuff. I LOVE that blower, I use it DAILY.
中国の怪しい 商品かな
Fuuuuunk! I need some advice bossman. Do you have any advice for drillbits when working on solid polyurethane resin? I'm drilling small holes (no bigger than 4mm) and some need to be pretty deep (inch and a half). Problem is, my bits bind once and are liable to snap. Is there a particular material that can improve my odds? I realized this is totally unrelated to the video but it's 2am and the blower reminded me of resin dust.
I would guess the resin is melting when you’re drilling. Maybe try keeping everything cool with some water?
Crown material handling equipment at a place that has amazing hot dog deals?
I think a broom would be not only quicker but 100% quieter. For cleaning that kitty litter mess.
I’ll remember that for the next time I review a broom 😂
This good for drying cars
Commercial eletrician here, i use mine every week to fill my inflatable paddleboards. It doesnt gwt them to any psi but it gets alot of the pumping out of the way. Quick too. Just loud as fuck!
I appreciate these reviews! Added a few tools to the arsenal thanks to the insight you’ve provided.
I've got the dewalt version. My crew uses it to blow bug carcasses out of light fixtures. When you're 30ft in the air on a boom lift something so small that puts out that much volume is awesome.
Thx for the reviews, I have a few food DC’s that I maintain the equipment as well. I like the size of it .
Have the Dewalt battery version and it's a great job for cleaning all my saws etc down after a job and cleaning out vents and air filters. Great value for money
Is this as good as those canned spray air dusters? Cause If it’s as good as one of those I’d prefer this
I see a lot of computer people using these. I would guess it’s as good. It’s definitely a lot cheaper over time. Those little cans are expensive.
I just bought this same one and it’s great for blowing off dust from my workbench and filling up and deflating air mattresses ( camping) and all my kids pool toys. Definitely can’t beat it for the price.
Looks like it should be breaking free lugs off a wheel.
I’ve wanted one of these for a while, but I’ve been hemming and hawing on it as well. Thank you for this man.
Man, I've just remembered who you remind me of, even your voice......Bob Sobchak (John Goodman) in The Big Lebowski, you just need some yellow lense aviator style glasses!😂😂
Haha I get Stone Cold Steve Austin a lot too 😁
@@FunkFPV 😂😂 Bob Sobchak way cooler, mad as a box o frogs obviously, but waaay cooler!🤣
Do you have a dirty computer you can blow out
I’m actually pretty good with keeping my computer clean. I popped the side cover off mine for this video and there wasn’t any buildup from the last time I cleaned it.
Does this tool blow? We all want to know.
Looks like a good tool if you have a use for it.
i use it for my volcano bag
Good thing it ain't a fluffer
On tools other than Dewalt isn't the cutoff built into the battery itself.
I’m not sure about Milwaukee but I’m pretty sure Makita does. I’ll run this one down and see what happens.
@@FunkFPV Also, it's really easy to take apart most batteries and look at the circuitry. and It's pretty easy to put back together. A while back, I took apart some rigid and Dewalt batteries. and the Dewalt were direct to sell, but the rigid had a very complicated circuitry attached to it. The comparison was very interesting.
What a long winded review. You blew it. Thanks for the airtime. Kidding aside. Nice spaceballs reference. And finally, thanks for spending my money. :-)
😁👍🏻
This review really blows
You cracked me up when I thought you said “MILF” brand…
…now the neighborhood cats are gonna want to use your lawn as a cat box…
Good job on the review!
That’s exactly what I thought the first time I saw this brand 😊
Loved the video. I have been looking for a small blower for cleaning my tractor radiator so I liked the comparison
I’m actually going to try this out on a rad tomorrow. 👍🏻
I'm 19 seconds in and I'm disappointed in the lack of milf jokes
The first time I did a video on this brand there was a few 😜
another giant tool brand I've never heard of. they even have an electric lunchbox lol.
The coffee maker is terrible, worked a few times(and not very well) then stopped working. They sent me directions how to fix it that didn’t work but luckily I was still able to refund it. Out of 8 tools, I’ve had problems with 3. Returned 2 and replaced 1. Also killed a battery.
@@ryanspringer3311That thing was disappointing. I bought 1 after the one I reviewed broke and it didn’t last long either.
I might try that lunch box out. It’s nice to have a hot lunch in the winter.
I think someone forgot to tell me the bosses kid isn’t supposed to work on the floor and is supposed to work on in the front office 😂 I love this job
I'm an hvac technician. My primary use for this tool would be to replace a canister of CO2 i lug around to blow dust off refrigerator condensers inside and cottonwood off RTU outside. If you think this tool could reduce the number of trips with a CO2 canister that is usually overkill, it sounds like a winner to me.
Actually one of the videos I saw was a guy blowing out a condenser. Made me think it might be good for blowing out radiators.
If you want a branded one Makita has their OWN GENUINE one that looks identical to this I have had it for a year and they have like 8-9 total attachments for it but only include 5 blowing ones (That clear hose is meant for blowing out dust from hard to reach areas like in the corners of a computer or something which is useful for me who works on computers). This one to me seems like they totally ripped off the Makita one besides the charging connector part the rest looks almost identical and even the attachments seem to have a similar connector to the Makita one. The hoses Makita sells as additional attachments and they have others too as additional purchases that Mellif does not have
It would be good for that. I carry a small ryobi blower for delicate work, but this is a much better application.
NOW GOTTA RU. TO WALMART FOR CLEAN SCOOP LITER......IN THE NAME OF HUMAN SCIENCE
Thought about getting the Makita until I saw this. It's been very handy after removing the trigger lock.
I’m thinking deleting the trigger lock on this one
@@FunkFPV Do it.
not familiar with the name, so I was expecting things to go steadily downhill. I don't have a use for it, but I was pleasantly surprised to see an unknown name makes a decent tool.
I’m not a 100% what their deal is yet. I don’t know if they’re rebranding stuff or making it themselves and other people are rebranding them?
Either way their stuff has been pretty good for the price.
@@FunkFPV the fact they have models for different battery platforms kind of implies they are not just badging
How you don’t have thousands of subscribers is beyond me! People need to spread the word on this channel, I know I have!

@@FunkFPV it does suck if you want it to emoji with sunglasses
When I used a xc 6 HO battery with this tool the battery fast blinked one bar. The battery ended up being fine after putting back on the charger to reset but that made me nervous. Could you check what happens with a HO battery?
I’m just getting into M18 stuff now. If I get one I’ll check it. I do know that these new high output batteries tool companies are putting out now have extra protection in them now for safety.
"Does it blow? Yes." Video over.
Legit bro, this could have been a three and a half minute video if you wanted to milk it. 16 mins on this was a waste of time
Why not change the name to MLIF, that's what I think when I hear it. LOL
Same 👍🏻 Or do what Harbor Freight does and give it an American sounding name so people don’t think it’s made in China 😜
