[TheForge] Tiger blower?

[Andrew Vida]

Canadys are very good blowers.  I like them better than the 400s.  They 
crank with less effort and move more air.  There was one at Allaire 
Village that I absolutely loved.  I'd have traded my 400 for that one in 
a heartbeat and my 400 is in top shape, though Bruce's is the best one 
I've yet seen.
