What is a Blade Runner? What does it do?  Is that a squeegee sharpener perhaps?

When good ideas  go terribly wrong. Air operated squeegee cleaner. Sprayed crap everywhere and you still had to clean it before and after so it actually took longer. Looks like they modifed it later on with a splash guard which would just be something else to clean. Andy had a video on another thread.

Dan, it was an offshoot yesterday in the Product Development thread here in Equipment from Action looking for feedback of a gadget they make.

I want it. I can use it to put a distressed splatter look on shirts. I will just set it next to the press when printing.

When I said you have to clean "It" before and after I meant botth the unit and the squeegees. Obviously they gave up on cleaning it!

Here it is.  It's kinda hard to figure out what is going on, but that is on the inside of our parts washer.  When you want to clean a squeegee you just stick it in the bristles and go back and forth.  Nothing moves other than what you are cleaning.
