How to keep your air spray nozzles from blowing off

Whether you're using one to clean your keyboard, bike, or a model, spray cans with long nozzles can be very helpful--but also a bit of a pain sometimes. Even when attached fairly securely, the long plastic nozzles can be knocked off with a little bit of force, and can even be blown off in use.

Fortunately Japanese airsoft gun specialty store Howa Seiki (@HowaSeiki), which knows a thing or too about keeping things clean with an air spray can, posted some useful advice on their Twitter account in regards to air spray upkeep that's being praised as a surprisingly simple lifehack. You just simply need a rubber band!

Pass the nozzle through the rubber band tied as shown in the photo.

After that, tie it to the spray can itself, and you won't have to worry about it coming off!

Even if you place the lid back on top of the can, the nozzle will remain secure.

The band could obviously get loose after some wear and tear, but it should last a while and can easily be replaced with a brand new one as long as you tie it the same. If you've been getting frustrated having your air spray can nozzles blow off or even get lost, give this trick a try!
