I use the Stihl Bike Dryer. I also have a Pitbull jack since the blower would probably knock the bike over if it was on a Sears.

Found one at WalMart. Looks identical to the Metro and was only 99.00. Box was opened and ripped apatr and talked to manager into giving me 15% off so I paid like 88.00 for it with tax. Definitely worth it compared to the blower that I used to use.

All funnin aside, I got a leafblower free at a garage sale cause it didnt work. Pulled the inop safety switch and now I have a bike dryer. Works as good as the neighbors $195 fancy one.

Had the same problem with my electric Troy-Bilt blower. Took a piece of inner tube and stretched over the end. Got a nice flexible rubber tip on there now.
