Why does this product say it is "dust proof" when it is capless, and crucial connecting parrs are exposed to moisture, dirt, dust etc?

Well, yes exposed but fingerprints wipe off easily. Also if you have it on a keychain, the open port stays in the upside down position.

There is no dust cover on my thumb drive. I have also never had a problem with dust? I do think that the lack of moving parts for "closing" these drives make it more resistant to dust/water. By removing that mechanism the device is rarely exposed when not in use.I your plan is to expose this to direct water or dirt, consider another option. I'm a Navy Submarine Sailor and routine expose drives to both, and this one has proved durable. Hope that helps.

I have never had any trouble with dust. I do not thing the crucial parts are really exposed as the design has everything covered except the end.

Well if it gets dust in it, just spray it with water... I got lint from my jean pocket in the little area by the contacts. I just washed it out with some water. If it get's full of dirt, just run it under the faucet. The only parts that are exposed are the four gold contacts. They are protected somewhat by the metal shell of the device. They aren't harmed by water. I have sprayed water directly in by the contacts to get lint out. It didn't even phase it. I of course shook the water off and let it dry overnight. It wouldn't damage the flashdrive, but the computer might not like to have wet things put in its ports. Well if it gets dust in it, just spray it with water...

My case has stayed clean. I've only had it for a month and I wouldn't say i'm in a dusty environment but it shouldn't be an issue.

I would say yes to shock proof and dust proof. I've dropped mine several times and haven't had a problem. It's 2 cases in 1. Not sure about water resistant haven't had mine near water.

Possibly dust but it depend on what type of bugs you are talking about. I bought them for the attach lids but for the quality of the boxes and the price they ask, I would not buy them again.

Basically, the surface of the material has to be cleaned well. Be sure that the surfaces do not have dirt, dust corrosion...

I'm not sure of your "dust free" term here, I will try to explain the best I can. There are particles like small threads when I use these erasers not dust like grit or sand. It easily brushes or blows aside and is a wonderful item to have on hand for detailed work with numerous changes. Hope this helps with your decision.

Hello MeeLian ~ Maybe try to a can of that dust off for keyboards and small spaces, it's possible it got too much dust etc. in it. That's the first thing I would try anyway.

That is why I bought it. No problems at all and I can't see there being any. I use it with a 6hp craftsman shop vac and I very rarely have to clean the filter anymore. It's plenty large and will hold a lot of chips. Just make sure to put a piece of wire around one of the mounting bolts and put a large metal washer on the other end to lay on the floor. This will make sure that you won't have any issues with static causing chips to actually cling to the Dust Deputy itself. It's a very thick walled durable drum with an easy to use lock ring lid.

I read about that before I purchased mine and though it is possible due the compact camera's fixed lense, if you take really good care of it and try to be cautious I don't see how it can't be avoidable. I purchased a Pelican 1020 micro case and keep it in there, no way any dust can get inside of it.

Yes, I wiped off the excess black oxide the minute I got it, never had a problem since. If you buy the bit extender and the spare bits assortment, you'll need to take a second to wipe those down too. It was terribly exhausting. <sarcasm specifically aimed at the whiny people>I've also had a ton of compliments from other techs. "Dude! Where did you get that!?" lol

Really not sure about being dust resistant but as for my uses it has been through some very harsh conditions I bought this because I have the big bosch radio which is heavy to carry around this is very light and works all day on a 18 volt battery What you can do is call bosch service center and asks them directly

I haven't had any problems with dust affecting the functionality, but it's black, and it has gloss black parts, so it shows dust. Any dust.

The cap is supposed to act like a seperator of sorts , first make sure the system has zero PSI , or maybe some thing is wrong with the cap ,opening to small or large. Call distributor they have parts and answers

All is well and good removing popcorn finish with this sander, but BEWARE no matter how much this says "dust free", popcorn ceilings are known for having asbestos. There are tests to find out. If so, I recommend full garb, tenting room off, and definitely wearing a respirator no matter what! Popcorn finish should be wet so as not to spread asbestos, but this sander won't work with wet so it's worth researching BEFORE tackling a popcorn ceiling with this sander!

My best guess is your smoke is not smoke, but dust. If the connections are not tight, a fine dust will escape.

It is a marketing thing. They all show the internals to the disk. When you get a new one it is sealed.
