I just bought an antique cast iron stove and from what I saw this will be fine for that purpose.
I enjoyed the straight forward review with a touch of humor. Well balanced, thanks for the honest review.
No problem. Thanks for watching 👍I appreciate the comment
Basically what I was wanting to say - you showed basic use, including accessories and safety needs - plenty of lols in there too! Thanks!
Thanks for watching👍
"...a grown man with the strength of a child..." lmao, that is funny. Good content, and thank you for sharing your experience.
Lol no problem😂 . Thanks for watching 👍
That's a job for a grown woman. That's what wives are for.
Keepin’ it 2020 !! Ha ha
Nice I use mine often made a nice blast cabinet for it. Pairs nice with powder coat sprayer kit. Even though I still use a rattle can. Powder is stronger. Good review.
Entertaining and informative without a lot of b.s. so thank you for that! I appreciate the 3 second intro too!
Youre welcome
Soooooooo pretty, the red paint job that is!
I have something to add to my wishlist. I never even considered using one before now.
It's a good start for those of us who don't have a blast cabinet.👍
+Rob's Wrenches exactly, it's messy but a great alternative. Trust me ,I wanted a blast cabinet I just don't have the space for it . The good thing is if I do find space for a cabinet and didn't spend a lot of money on this one so it won't really feel like a waste of $.
Yo, well done! The comedy blurbs... Nice touch! Thanks for the review. Spraying into a Wal-Mart box, using a bungie for spray painting! That's me ALL day long. Good quality work for the everyday man who's on a budget! That's how it's done!
Thank for watching. Glad you liked the approach on simplicity 👍
Thanks for the video, I just bought a Sears sandblaster which looks similar at a yard sale for 20 bucks with a bunch of sand now all I need is a air compressor so I can try it out
Nice buy! Good luck on your projects 👍
Thanks for the video...2 yrs later and still a help
Great video... Quick to the point and the right amount of humor. Thumbs up brah!
Thanks for watching 👍I appreciate it
Just bought the same kit. Good instructional video and you're funny to boot 😆 Thanks!
Lol thanks for watching 👍have fun with the sand blaster.
Just picked one up yesterday for around $20. It was on sale and with a 20% off coupon, I got it. I have a good sized compressor so I think this will work just fine for what I need.
Good luck
Good luck👍
Hey Quick question what size compressor do you used?
Thank you 👍
Yes it worked fine.
Thanks for the sweet review. Looking at this item to clean direct injection valves. Harbor freight seems to really come through, when you need to finish projects.
Nice! Good luck
Excellent review. Covered every important detail. You got me on the candy. Funny. I would like a review of sand, walnut and other media.
Thank you and Thanks for watching 👍
I was all in my serious mode and you broke out the funny! Thank you! Just what I needed to chill the heck out!
Lmao great to hear! Glad you enjoyed.thanks for watching
Excellent lighthearted video; I use this tool to sandblast motorcycle rims. Works well.
Nice! Glad it worked for you
Best review on RUclips! Informative but funny as hell! Thank you for posting!
Thanks for watching
This video is so underrated such a great review thank you very informative I didn't know that the different media is used for different applications I thought it's all just to get stuff off of whatever you're working on
Thank you for watching
Came over to this video because the other one had too much BS. Really helped me stay informed and entertained. Since it will take glass bead, it will qualify for ADA texturing according to local and state regulation.
Thanks for the review brother. Having the right size compressor is important.
Exactly the bigger the compressor the better it will work
Caliper looks great. Enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Best product review i have ever watched...BRILLIANT!!
Thank you
I like your style. Informative and funny. Good job.
Thank you 👍
Grest video bro. Absolutely enjoyed your humor!
Cheers
Thank you
got one last year also use glass bead works pretty good
Thanks for the video. I'm convinced this is the one for me now. I appreciate you're taking the time and trouble to make the video, and I'll shoot a donation your way. Regardsc
Thank you. I appreciate it
Hey admano...perfecto.... I just might pick one of these up this weekend!
Great!👍
Good job. Caliper looks cool and your video was very informative.
Thank YOU
Love the review and sense of humor. gj.
Thank you
We don't have Harbor freight but we get an identical looking blaster here. Good to know it works, I need one. Cheers!
+Badgertronix prepare to have a mess lol but yes it's pretty cool to have .
Man I got to get me one of those and maybe a booth to go with it ... that caliper came out fantastic..you inspired me thanks ..👍
Get a standard blast cabinet. I ended up selling this unit because after i got my blast cabinet i had no use for this one
Good video, I usually just do electrolysis on calipers, gets all the rust off and then primer, paint and rebuild
I need to try electrolysis...
Good review. I'm in the same boat as you, no room for a cabinet. I'll have to get one of these and maybe build something or just use it outside.
That isn't candy, it's like Kool-aid, you have to mix it with water and drink it.
Bruce L. Thanks I appreciate it, there's RUclips vids of people making home made blast cabinets which I plan on doing .you should check them out. Lmao , next time I'll try to make some grape drank with it 👍😂
Bruce L.
I’m doing a six burner full oven cast iron stove. No way to put that in a blast cabinet either.
Grape Draaaaank !!!! My favourite ! What size air compressor do you recommend and is that an 3/8 " air line? Please tell some details of setting up the glass-blaster !!!! Can I use it to do the whole car including underneath to prepare the bottom for rust proofing?
Yes it's a 3/8 I think my tank is a 20 gal n it works fine the compressor just runs a lot so a bigger tank would be ideal. I suppose you could you it on a car but it would take forever
thanx , so what size would I need for my chevy van? To glass-blast it and underneath?
Picking one up in the next few days for a go kart frame. I too noticed alot of people running a small pancake air tank.
Nice! I have a similar simple setup. Caliper is looking sweet! Definitely good for another 10HP once bolted to the car! =)
+Thomas EXOVCDS it's a mess but I love it, im trying to come up with a simple DIY blast cabinet.good videos on YT of that. Actually I'm painting the bracket as well so that's 15hp👍💪
Same color or different? My mounting brackets are different from the calipers... looks sweet!
+Thomas EXOVCDS I was thinking the same color because these rear calipers are so tiny I was hoping the bracket matching would make the caliper look bigger lol. But a different color might look good... any pics of your calipers?
I need to treat them with a new coat this year... 7 years old.

Only 10HP?? Are you kidding me! He was using High GLOSS red, that is like the Ferrari of red paint. Easily a good 80HP once all 4 are on the car. 🤪🤪🤣
That will do. You made a good point about having an air compressor with a proper size tank. In this case size does matter. :)
+wyattoneable exactly, I didn't bother trying my small compressor. I'm happy with the blaster . 👍
I just went and bought this it was on sale for $29 at Harbor freight specifically from your review so I hope this works out
Great, hope it works for you 👍
Great review, will be subscribing to your channel for sure.. considering buying this or an enclosed one. But looks like this does the job.
This one is way more messy. The enclosed unit works great also without the mess
Squires eat walnut shells after your done blasting. Thanks for the review I plan on buying one
+John Gibson some lucky squirrels then lol ,thanks for watching
My little alligator hands! Ha love the graphic
😂thanks
Stellar job, you should be a teacher or at least a professional product reviewer. I chuckled the whole time yet learned everything I need to know about getting this product, and I will now.
If I watch another dry, boring how-to from another country, backwoods bumpkin, I’m gonna wash my mouth out with buckshot
Again,, awesome job buddy.
Lmao ! Thank you 😝👍
OMG! Here I was expecting all seriousness like other videos and I'm LMAO!! Great video! Thanks so much 😉
Thank you for watching 😁
Would this blaster be good for removing paint from motorcycle parts?
Pretty good review with some entertainment value as well.
Thank you
Thanks for mentioning the compressor you used a lot of people don’t put that in the videos
Great video! What type of compressor and what. Was is set at? Thanks in advance!
Can i use it to remove hard rust from big surface of metal like poles ,gates ,grill, etc and which compressor should i use for it?
I don't look for something professional because i'll use it one time and stop. So i don't want to spend much money.
Very nicely done.
Everytime I watch a video of these blasters no one talks about raising the blasting unit up high to let the gravity feed its way in it helps alot better that way.
Thank you, covered most of my questions...and an extra thnak you for keeping nit from being boring LOL I think Ill blow the $35 and grab one for myself....
Funny and informative.
What would say is the minimum size air compressor to use?
Hmm... Thinking about taking on a Bunting glider (just old paint and surface rust). Opinions?
Cool. What is the specifications of your compressor please?
Good review, funny jokes 10/10 my guy
Thank you
What was the air delivery on your compressor?
Great video. I have a 60 gallon compressor and I am hopeful this will work for me. I want to remove rust from horseshoes I do projects with. I am trying to cut back on the time I spend at the wire wheel getting rust off. I do not have room for a cabinet in my garage, but a very large back yard with about half covered with decomposed granite. Hopefully this unit will do the trick. Thanks for posting.
I think it will work great for you👍 .thanks for watching
@@themechanic6117 what size of compressor did you use
20gal
Oh, good. Here's the info I needed. If a 20 gallon compressor is suitable, so should my 24 gallon be 👍
If you plan on using it for a long the compressor will constantly run but it'll work
Mine does not seem to succion up the media, do you have any idea what's wrong? I have a 20 gal air compressor.
Thanks. Any updated thoughts on this item?
Whats the psi and cfm of the air compressor that you used with the blasting kit? Thank you
Love the sarcasm. Good info.
I have the same blaster, cheap and works good enough. I blasted some rusty exhaust manifolds and it did a nice job
+T.O.A.G exactly, for its price you can't go wrong with it. Thanks for watching
Caliper looks great 👍. Sandblaster seems to work
Yeah it's not too bad
I bought this model thinking it would be sufficient for stain and polyurethane removal from cabinets. The nozzle that comes with the blaster is too wide, so I purchased the 3/32 nozzles and the base is thinner, so the set screw dosen't hold it in place. Does anyone know the proper installation or additional parts to utilize the 3/32 nozzles?
Good video I have been looking at this blaster for a minute now. You helped me make up my mind. What media would you use for a bidet? LOL 😆 🤣
Caliper looks brand new ! Nice .
Thanks for watching
Good candy ,that was pretty funny
😁👍
What size compressor did you use? How many psi?
Kudos for talking about the safety gear! DIYers tend to neglect that. (mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! Scars to prove it.) DIYers take note. DO pay attention to safety. Err on the side of caution. As a result of your video, I'm buying one. A shop charges $25 to sand blast an item. Two items, and it pays for itself.
I have a 20+ year old 4 gallon, 2 HP, 2.6 scfm at 90 psi Campbell Hausfeld compressor. At 50 psi it should be adequate to meet the 50 psi, 3.5 cfm minimum air requirement, yet when I tried it, no media would move through the blaster. The media was Harbor Freight's 80 grit glass bead same as you are using. I could see it lying in the air bleed hole at the exit from the container.
After some thinking, I took the gun apart and found it was assembled wrong. The nozzle inside has a gasket and an O ring. The nozzle had been assembled and inserted backwards. The nozzle has small hole which should go towards the ceramic nozzle. That small hole is centered right above the media input. It is what creates the vacuum via the Venturi effect to pull the media up. When it was put in backwards, a large hole was over the media input which created almost no vacuum. It works fine now even with a small compressor.
Is it possible to use this as a cheap Dry Ice Blaster? Would it clog up?
Can aluminum oxide 100g be used with this blaster?
Funny as hell! I subscribed just because it made me laugh!
Thank you 👍
Nice review man. Hey your a funny guy!
Lol thanks for watching! Appreciate it 👍
nice job mate
I came for a review ... it took a while but we finally arrived.
That looks good
Haha! Excellent review - subscribed.
Ha! Great review and very entertaining!
Thank you
im gonna do the same paint, but im gonna add a tiny chrome or white acura emblem to it. !
pon un poco de sal y limón en tu dulce.... lmao
I'm going to look into this media blaster.
Lmao alligator hands.Funny and informative,thankyou
😂 thanks for watching
You got a "like" for skipping the unboxing... I'm 23 seconds in and already good job!
damnit, had to take away the like for the "candy" joke
Lol no problem👍
@@themechanic6117 lol. you got ur like back
Great work
Thanks for watching
You can use white vinegar two or three gallons put it inside a 5 gallon bucket let it sit submerged overnight take it out the next day with a heavy stream of water wash it off wipe it then down with a clean Rag and then lightly oil it it'll be as good as new. You might have to get a toothbrush to get into hard-to-reach areas of the tools or other type of tools to get in there and scrub the crap out very efficient.
Great job
Thank you
Nice review, buddy! I found it helpful. I liked the alligator bit too. People who downvoted don't like comedy I guess.
Thank you and thanks for watching
Not bad looks good.
The pink triangles in the men's restroom is pretty good, it's like FREE Rock candy..😂
😂😂😂 love it man
Great video
Thank you
I bought one today with the glass media, I want to blast off the rust inside a motorcycle gas tank, any recommendations
It might be difficult to clean the inside the tank.
how long can you blast with tht size?
How big is your air compressor
Good review...and funny👍
Thanks for watching
Good job
Thank you
Wow nice caliber
Thank you
My compressor is a 2.7CFM @ 90psi.
idk... what ya think.. maybe?
Good!
