Yeah, just make sure you use the fan guard it comes with. We don't want anyone losing any limbs now... :p

I think those Tornados are the biggest you can get. I know SVC has an 80mm > 92mm adaptor. You could use a 92mm Tornado if you really wanted to. :D

Are you deaf? If not, you soon will be. :d

I have both here, the 80 and 92mm versions and they are the most powerful available. Why would you want one even more powerful? Or do you plan to use it to mow your lawn as I do.

They sure can.

You can also use them to mince, dice, grind and to scare away all animals. :d
