Loved it,

"I used this sand blaster to restore my chevrolet nova. Overall I'm very impressed with this blaster. The spray pattern is about the size of a quarter. Not that big but not to bad. I did my entire trunk, and interior in about 3 five hour days. I'm really o.c.d. with it though.. because it's so fun to watch the layers and layers of paint being blown off in seconds. Sandblasters are only as strong as the compressors. Being this sandblaster is siphon fed, rather then a pressure pot, it need's more pressure to keep it going. I used a titan 5hp gas compressor, (used for contractors with nailing roofing) it has twin 5 gallon tanks and shoots 15 cfm at 90 psi. Overall I love this gun. I used silica sand in it, till i read somewhere that you can die from exposure to it by a illness called silicosis. SO DON'T SAVE A DIME AND USE SAND."

Could be better,

"I had borrowed a cheap Sear sand blasting unit but I also had one I bought at a garage sale that didn't have a gun. I thought I'd buy this one so I could return the one I borrowed. Had them both at the same time and switched back and forth testing the two. The other had porcelain head and this one is steel, not sure if that what made the difference but the other one really out-did this one. This one did work ok if it was the only way to go but since I had the other one I put this away and just used the other for the job. If I do more I'll probably try the more expensive units and see it they work better."

"This was a replacement gun for an old sandblasting cabinet [original gun nozzle overly worn]. I liked that it had extra nozzles."

Have a Blast!,
April 16, 2008
By cooper8

"My wife wanted me to fix up an old lamp, a kind of wrought iron type of thing. I took it all apart to sand and paint, but could not get sand paper in the curls of iron especially where two pieces of metal met. This simple sand blaster did the trick. Just put the steel pipe into a bucket of sand (be sure to sift it first and get the stones out) connect the hoses (air hose and sand supply hose) and blast away. For small projects like the lamp just blast it out side. You don't need a cabinet and you can buy sand at the local hardware store. Excellent product for occasional blasting!"

"After I cleared the machining debris out of the gun it worked fine. Drove me crazy for a couple of days why only air and not media was coming out of the tip. A small ball bearing like piece of metal was stuck in the media inlet where it mixes with the air. Once I found and fixed it it worked fine."

Great tool for the $$$,

"I have had one like this for at least 15 years, and have gone through many nozzles. This is well worth the money and outside of buying extra nozzles it will last for years. Does a great job at cleaning any rusted parts you can throw at it, will take cheap screened sand without complaining too."

"I used one on restoring a 1929 model a roadster pickup. As long as the sand is clean it works great. If you are going to reuse the sand make sure its clean or it will stop up every min. or so."
