Gene-
I took the cheap way out when I bought my blaster.
It's a 40# Central Pneumatic pressure blaster from
Harbor Freight Tools. I paid $74.99 on Sale and
shipping was free.
40# is not very big, and you do need to refill fairly
frequently. It also taxes a 6HP/80 gal compressor
fairly hard. That said however, IT WORKS- AND WORKS
WELL.
It is most emphatically not a professional grade unit,
but for the auto hobbyist who isn't going to have to
blast more than an LBC frame now and then, it'll do
the trick. I've put almost a half-ton of sand through
mine. I replaced the stock, cheezy ball valves with
some higher quality ones from Home Depot early on, and
haven't had to mess with it since.
Best 75 bux I ever spent
