I'm looking for an air tool used to clean dryer vents. It is called a "Jet-Snake". Best I can figure out, it is a reverse flow, high presure nozzle.

Any ideas on who makes it or where to buy it is appreciated.

Thanks

Never heard of a Jet Snake. But I bet your looking for a reverse hose. Any duct cleaning company can get you one.

Thanks for the info Airman.
As far as I can tell, it is a nozzle on a flex hose that propells itself through the vent blowing out the lint as it does.

I think my wife just bought that kit or one very much like it at Home Depot. I'm in Saudi Arabia, trying to help my son out with his dryer problems.

Thanks
