Wondering if this would work as a replacement/upgrade fan to inflate those silly inflatable costumes. Is it powerful enough?

I highly doubt it is powerful enough for that. You need something with a higher pressure. Squirrel fans are high volume, low pressure. Technically it would pull air inside but I'm not sure it has the power to fill it fully.

Not at all... the air flow is minimal. I would guess its primary use would be to cool electronic components by placing it on top with the exhaust facing rearward.

No, this is not the fan for your application. You need a centrifugal fan. Just use that phrase in Amazon "search". They're more expensive than this one, but they'll do the job.

It inflates like a beach ball but. Definately not something you would want to blow up yourself though. I used a battery operated pump that I use for air mattresses.

I know exactly what you are making and this should work great. Might possibly be more than what you wish for but if the audible level isn't a concern for you then this will do great. I am using mine to ventilate a foam structured "quiet box" for my camping generator. To get a good idea of the power this fan produces I can tell you that if you sit it on a flat surface and have the air flow being sucked from that flat surface, this fan will need adequate force to be pulled off while running. Hope this helps, its a great fan at a great price. Just don't expect to not hear it.

You're better off getting a regular fan. This fan is terrible and noisy and a waste of money. But the answer to your question is no. Unless you're crafty and can make something to hold it. Sorry :(

I would think so. I used it to inflate an exercise ball and it worked fine.

It seems to run so cool for some things that the fan never comes on. I have had the fan come on (which is pretty quiet) occasionally, and it was still running pretty cool. My thought would be that you'll be fine, as long as you have a clear path from the fan area to a good supply of air.

I would say no, the volume of air from the device is minimal. Probably about 20% of the volume of air you would expect from a device this size.

It should work for you. It works off of air pressure thus it will inflate until it reaches the predetermined pressure.

I'd imagine it would work. However, this will only work to turn up the pressure. If you adjust the pressure down with this device, the air bags will stay inflated to their present level. You'd also need to install a bleed valve on the air bags side of the circuit to lower them.

I have not used it for those applications but I can tell you that it has more cfm's than my old 5hp unit. It has stood up well using nail gun and pumping up very large inflatables.

It will be time consuming but I think it will work. I blew up quite a few and it did a great job. The balloons won't float like Helium filled ones but I used sticky tac and stuck them to the ceiling that way with curling ribbon tails hanging down. You could order two pumps and have another person help you blow them up.

Yes. The set comes with several different attachments so you can use it for other inflatable needs. I have used it to blow up balls, bike tires and an air mattress.

absolutely!! adults and children used it, and have even re-used them the next year!! just flattened, put away, and then re-inflated them...well worth the cost

Any pump that you would use to blow up an air mattress, I think should work ok. Not sure on this.

Sure, but you might want to put a speed control on ..it pulls a lot of air..might be a little noisy too unless you mount it above the ceiling

no..not powerful enough...really just for inflating and deflating pool toys
