Speaking of noisy vacuum, I just purchased a nice little tool. It is a =
Makita windturbine/vacuumcleaner as big as a little circular saw, turns =
at 16.000 rpm for 650 watt and can be used like an aircompressor but is =
of course much lighter and smaller and you don't have to wait until =
there's some pressure. Verry easy for blowing out an action and  by =
inversing the hose it can be used like a vacuum cleaner. Unfortunatly, =
it is noisy so i'll use earplugs!
