I would like to purchase a portable sandblaster to remove paint and rust from some mustang body panels. This tool will not be in constant use but I want it to work when I want it to. Does any one have any recommendations ?
Thanks in advance

I bought this 5 years ago and haven't had any problems

Its a really good sandblaster and is far better than the gravity feed type, it jut uses ALOT of air.

yes ,i have the small Harbor Freight blast pot and it works very well .
TPI makes a real good one .the problem is any of them will only work as good as your compressor . i bought the biggest one Lowes had and it keeps up but runs all the time when i am blasting. the pressure guage does not work on my blaster so i am not sure what the pressure holds at the pot, but it will peel the skin off your hand. dont mess with the suction type they are worthless, you want a pressure pot. i have a military air compressor from 1953 that keeps 80 pounds wide open with a 3 bag pressure pot that i use for large things .
