Dude, Where’s My Safety Air Gun?

Published on by Russ BowmanLeave a comment

I am the poster child for misplaced items. A couple of years back, I lost the key to my truck. I looked for it for WEEKS (it’s not my daily driver) — and finally admitted defeat. A local locksmith offered mobile service, which was kind of expensive but not as bad as I thought, and made me a new key in about a half hour. He actually made two (my wife insisted) and having my truck back just in time for that spring’s mulch was well worth it. Knowing the location of the spare key is nice & comforting too.

Just last fall, I lost my glasses one fine Friday afternoon. I’m only moderately nearsighted, so it was just a mild-to-moderate inconvenience. After a quick trip to the eye doctor and a local business that makes glasses on the same day, I had two new pairs of glasses (my wife, again, insisted on the 2nd pair.) When I got home, my “lost” glasses were on the counter…she’d found them between the arm of the couch and the end table. Ironically, if I’d had a pair of glasses, I’d have found them easily since that’s one of the first places I looked, but was unable to see them with my compromised vision.

Last month, both of those incidents came to mind when the Press Release dropped for a new EXAIR product: our Model 5920 Air Cradle.

EXAIR’s new Air Cradle is a simple but innovative accessory designed to keep safety air guns and similarly sized tools within easy reach at workstations and machine centers.

It’ll hold up to 10lbs, so you can even leave the air supply hose hooked up. Using the Air Cradle means you won’t have to search for your Safety Air Gun, worry about it getting damaged or dropped, and you’ll be one step closer to having a well-organized work space.

Now, I’m not saying that if I had a “truck key cradle” or an “eyeglasses cradle” I wouldn’t have lost my keys or glasses…it’s important to note that one has to actually USE handy organizational tools to be organized…but it would’ve definitely lowered the chances of losing them.

I think it’s also important to note that the Air Cradle came about as a direct result of a customer or two asking about properly stowing their Safety Air Gun. We have regularly scheduled meetings where we discuss calls like that, and the Air Cradle was the direct result of such a conversation. If you have questions about compressed air in general, or EXAIR engineered compressed air products specifically, we’d love to hear from you…whether your call leads to a new product’s development or not!

Keeping your Safety Air Gun right where you need it can make everyday tasks faster and tidier. EXAIR’s Model 5920 Air Cradle is a simple, magnetic loop designed to hold a Safety Air Gun (or a similarly sized tool) within easy reach on any strong magnetic surface. Whether you’re working at a machine center, assembly station, shipping area, or general shop bench, the Air Cradle keeps your air gun accessible while helping maintain a more organized workspace.

The design is straightforward and practical. A strong magnet secures the loop to metal surfaces so the Safety Air Gun can hang safely and conveniently when not in use. This reduces clutter, keeps tools from being misplaced, and makes it easier for operators to grab the gun and get right back to work. For shops that rely on safety guns for blowoff, cleaning, or drying tasks throughout the day, having that tool right where it belongs adds both convenience and productivity.

Don’t allow your operators to just toss your premium air guns around on the floor. Give them a space to keep them secure and stored for many years of useful life!
