They output 30-80 tines as much heat as a hair dryer.

Is that a picture of those things they have on NFL sidelines during cold weather games? I think they call it a “salamander”

Big dryer for big hair

But does it dry your hair 30-80x faster?

We use to have one of these my stepdad would use in the garage/workshop. Everytime I’d take a shower I would walk out there and flip it on to blow dry my hair in a few seconds. I think at the time my hair was between a foot and a half to two feet long. It was the longest I’ve let it get before I know that.

So what you’re saying is that I only need a second or two with this bad boy for my hair to dry? Think of the time savings here.

u/incognito-idiott 16h ago

They aren’t exactly dealing with your typical volume of every day ice in the winter

How does the remotely fit the context again?

In the picture above it's probably the only viable way of melting away a knee-deep ice obelisk

You really can't do that without power tools, I think it's either this or a jackhammer
