sand blaster/ speed blaster ?'s

[bronco-uno]

Has anyone used one of these? I was thinking that It would run out of sand rather quickly. obviously I am not trying to blast a frame, but could you do a 6"x6" area on a full tank?


---------------How many mpg's is this thing rated for? jk

I have one. It does not work well on my crappy 30 gal craftsman compressor. I just do not have the CFM's to make it work. Otherwise I think it would be great for small pieces and spot blasting. ;D

We use to use one in the restoration shop for spot blasting works great for a small area with light rust.

It works great for small areas. And yes it does run out fast, however it is handy and does a good job.

I almost bought one of those but I knew I was going to be blasting my frame so I sprung for a little more and got this one. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=40925

Yes, as others have stated, works well for small jobs like you described. I have a 20gallon pot blaster and the speed blaster and the speed blaster gets used most often.

I love mine, good for small jobs, well worth the $. Buy an extra nozzle in case you drop it.... %)

Thanks for the imput.....I might just flip a coin between the speed blaster and that 20 lb unit. I can't decide which one to get.
