Air blaster tool seizes and clogs due to dirt and moisture ingress through a design gap, requiring frequent manual lubrication and workaround modifications.
The air blaster's design has a gap that allows dirt and moisture to clog the bearings, causing it to seize. No built-in seal or self-cleaning mechanism exists, and the only fixes are manual workarounds like adding an o-ring or relubricating.
