No, not enough air pressure. All volume and not enough psi.

But he could buy a cheap 110 volt air compressor and use that to blow
out the lines. At $60 per season it would pay for itself in a few
years, and it has many other useful functions around the garage.

does it freeze deep enough to freeze the lines? the best thing was to have a
automatic drain in the line. then it does it it's self.
