The tip on the Long Shot Puffer Duster does not rotate. If you need to apply dusts in an upward application the B&G 1150 Bulb Duster would be a better choice.
This duster is designed to treat cracks and crevices or voids where you place the tip of the duster, so it will only travel a few inches from the tip. For larger voids, the B&G Mini Dust-R 1151M has a larger capacity and will push dust about 36 inches from the tip: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/bg-mini-dustr-1151m-p-378.html. There is also a 2 quart version of this duster, the B&G 1152-A, which is frequently used to treat attics and crawl spaces: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/bg-quart-duster-1152a-p-319.html. Both of these pump dusters come with extension tips that would still allow you to dust through a small opening. Pump dusters also add a static charge to the dust, helping it to cling to surfaces.
If you have a tall vertical void to treat, you could also drill high in the column and let gravity carry the dust down. For more detailed instructions, you may also call our customer service at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST, so that we may address your specific situation.
Unfortunately, we don't carry replacement rubber caps for the Long Shot Puffer Duster. You may want to contact the manufacturer directly at 877-892-8112.
The length of the Long Shot Puffer Duster is 17.10".
The Long Shot Puffer Duster needs to be emptied and cleaned after each use. Leaving the dust in the duster can cause decay and breakdown of the duster itself.
The long shot puffer weighs about a 1/2 pound and is no harder to use than the regular bellow hand duster. If you can successfully use any other duster, the long shot should not be an issue for you.
The Long Shot Puffer Duster is best used to access treating hard to reach areas. For just general dust applications the standard Bellow Hand Duster would be perfect.
Yes, the Long Shot Puffer Duster is ideal for use in hard to reach areas like cracks, crevices and inside wall voids.
