Great but misleading devices. I say great because they are specifically designed with ESD prevention in mind. Misleading because despite their name, they are not vacuums. Instead they are blowers.

Mine has no ESD.

I pretend that I am the flamethrower operator knocking furry clingons off of the star cruiser landing gear just before launch.

I do hold my fans though..

Hmmm, I don't see any air flow direction indicators (often embossed) on the fans. Why do you say that, Shrek?

Look at the two pictures (in the original post); in the first one I see the power cable toward the center, now look at the second picture, seems to be the cable of the other fan is also toward the center.

It looks like his fans are fighting each other.

What is even more impressive is the exhaust fan location in relation to the cooler.

Oh? My bad. In the past, all Metro Datavac blowers were designed to be used to clean electronics and specifically designed with anti-static buildup features to ensure no ESDs. I guess yours must be a new model without such features. While damage from ESD is not as prevalent as it was years ago, it can still happen. So good luck.

Is see what you mean. I just have to believe (hope?) TT's design team and quality assurance practices ensured the orientation of the fans had them blow in the same direction - assuming they were mounted at the factory.

Its about 5 years old now, the new ones have ESD support

I think it just depends on the model. Way WAY back in the day, like 12 - 15 years back, they only had 2 models, both were designed to prevent ESD. The basic model came with the basic nozzle, the pro or premium (or whatever they called it) came with several attachments.

Hey dudes I’m not with the Machine the moment but I’m pretty sure I set them up so the fan on the right blows in and the fan on the left ( nearer to the exhaust) sucks out . I’ll check it out when I get back tomorrow .
