Folks-

I have a gift certificate to Northern Hydraulic (excellent Christmas
gift!) and I'm trying to figure out how to spend it.  I looked at
their air tools, but I've already most of what I need for Christmas. 
(It's been a good year!)

One thing I am thinking of is a bead blasting cabinet.  Someone
mentioned TipTools recently, and I was looking over their stuff, but
that's far more industrial than I need.  Harbor Freight has a couple
nice little units for arount $100-$130, but I don't have the gift
certificate from there.  Northern does have one that is similar...
anyone have any experience or suggestions on their $139 blast cabinet,
or something similar?

The equivalent HF units I'm looking at are:

        http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/taf/DisplayItem.taf?ItemNumber=1672

Ideally, I'd like to be able to fit a wheel (15x6" alloy) into the
cabinet.  Most everything else I'd like to blast would be smaller.
