I can believe that.  There was one temp job I was at some time back,  where
we had insane amounts of "dust" in a place,  and what they
started us out with were large sacks and shovels,  until I discovered the
air hose.  Took a little longer than 10 minutes,  but opening up all of the
doors and such in there the air was enough to get pretty much all of that
stuff outside.

Oh yeah?

If you have a Harbor Freight anywhere near you they had one in this sunday
paper flyer for only $3.00.  A digital one,  at that.

Always something!
