STUBBY Car Drying Nozzle for DEWALT 20V MAX XR Leaf Blower - Faster

In this review of the STUBBY Car Drying Nozzle for the DEWALT 20V MAX XR leaf blower, the bottom line is simple: this is for people who already own a compatible DEWALT blower and want a compact, better-directed air stream for car drying. The STUBBY converts the blower into a more maneuverable drying tool by shortening the tube to 8' and narrowing the tip for a focused blast, which speeds water removal and makes drying tight areas easier. Installation is straightforward and the included yellow Blowerband helps keep it secure during use.

Key Features

• Short 8' length: The reduced length makes the blower easier to maneuver around mirrors, grills, and tight spaces when drying a vehicle.
• Tapered tip: The slightly smaller, tapered opening concentrates airflow into a tighter stream so water is blown off faster and with more precision.
• Secure fit: Includes a yellow Blowerband to help hold the nozzle in place so it does not blow off during normal use.
• Compatibility: Designed specifically for the current generation DEWALT 20V MAX XR leaf blower models DCBL722B and DCBL722P1 for a correct fit.
• Durable material: 3D printed in PETG plastic, offering a sturdy construction made in the USA.
• Compact conversion: Replaces the stock blower tube to convert a blower into a dedicated car drying tool without permanent modification.

Who It's For

The STUBBY is aimed at car owners, detailers, and hobbyists who already own the compatible DEWALT 20V MAX XR blower and want a faster, more controlled way to remove water after washing. It suits users who value maneuverability in tight spots and prefer a purpose-built accessory for drying versus using towels.

It is not for owners of the previous generation DEWALT model that is not listed as compatible, or for those who expect a universal fit across multiple blower brands. Also, buyers looking for a metal accessory or significant impact-resistance should evaluate their needs since this nozzle is 3D printed PETG plastic.

Pros & Cons

Cons
