BGS 8706 Compressed Air Blow Gun with Flow Regulator, 110 mm Nozzle

A fixed blast of air suits straightforward blow-off jobs, while adjustable airflow is more useful when the task changes. The BGS 8706 is built around that second need, with a regulator to adjust the air volume.

Its 110 mm nozzle gives you a defined reach for directing air around a work area. A non-slip handle and aluminium alloy body complete a practical workshop-focused design.

If you are choosing a blow gun, the key question is whether you need to vary the airflow or simply want a basic tool for one consistent task. The BGS 8706 offers that adjustment, but still needs a suitable compressed-air supply.

What to know

The regulator lets you alter the air volume rather than relying on a single fixed output. That can be useful when moving between tasks, though no adjustment range is specified. The listed air consumption is 320 l/min, and the operating pressure is 6.3 bar, with a maximum of 10 bar. Check that your air supply can operate within those stated figures before buying.

The nozzle is 110 mm long and can be used with plastic scratch protection. The details do not say that this protection is included, so treat it as an optional accessory rather than part of the confirmed contents. The gun is made from aluminium alloy and has a non-slip handle, which offers a more secure grip when working with compressed air.

A 6.3 mm (1/4 inch) compressed air connection is specified. Connection at the head or handle is also possible, giving some choice in how the hose is arranged around the tool. The stated maximum sound pressure level is 86 dB(A), a relevant figure to consider when planning workshop use.

Usage tips

Match the compressor supply to the gun’s stated pressure and air-consumption requirements, and keep within the 10 bar maximum. The flow regulator is the feature to use when a task calls for less or more air, the product information does not provide a precise setting scale or flow range. For a typical bench job, it could be used to direct air at debris around a work surface, with the nozzle helping to reach into a specific area.

If the hose would get in the way, the option of connecting at the head or handle may help you choose a more convenient arrangement. Use the optional plastic scratch protection where contact with a surface is a concern, but do not assume it comes in the box. It makes sense if you want adjustable airflow and a longer nozzle in one workshop tool. You may want to skip it if you need a blow gun with a confirmed included protective attachment or detailed flow settings, neither is established in the product information.

Best use cases

This model is suited to workshop blow-off tasks where being able to adjust air volume matters more than having a basic, fixed-output gun. For example, someone moving between clearing debris from a workbench and directing air into a more confined area may value the regulator and 110 mm nozzle. The non-slip handle and alternative connection positions also support practical handling around a work area.

A simpler blow gun may be enough if every job calls for the same airflow. Conversely, buyers with a specific application that depends on a stated flow range should look for that information before choosing this one: the 320 l/min air consumption is listed, but an adjustable range is not.

Questions before you buy

What air connection does the BGS 8706 use? It is specified for a 6.3 mm (1/4 inch) compressed air connection, with connection at the head or handle possible.

Can the airflow be adjusted? Yes. A regulator is provided to adjust the air volume, although no exact adjustment range is given.

Is plastic scratch protection included? The nozzle can be used with plastic scratch protection, but the product details do not confirm that it is included.

Should you buy it?

Choose the BGS 8706 if adjustable air volume, a 110 mm nozzle and the option of connecting at the head or handle suit your workshop setup. Its listed pressure and air-consumption figures give useful checks for the air supply, while the optional status of the plastic protection is worth noting if surface contact is part of your planned use. If you only need a consistent blast for simple jobs, a basic fixed-output approach may be enough, this model’s main reason to choose it is the regulator.
