Default HF Sandblaster

Anyone have any experience with Harbor Freight's 110 lb. pressurized sand
blast pot. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

It's cheap, it works, the hose that comes with it is crap. It takes allot of
air to run it properly. I have a 7.5 hp Speedair compressor that keeps up to
it.

i have their 40 lb pot. the gun is crap and will wear out in just a few
hours. plan on finding another one soon. the water trap has plastic parts
that quickly broke. the rest of it is ok, although i was chasing leaks for a
while.

I also have the HF pressurized sand blasting tank. Yes as with the others my
hose went quickly along with the water seperator. Other than that I have no
problems with it. I used teflon tape on all the joints and purchased another
hose and gun. It works great.

So where does one get a better gun that will fit this unit?

Iv'e got the 40# model. Works well. The weld on the front leg on the
tank is weak-mine broke off with a minor impact. Rewelded, so far ok.
Haven't used it more than 1 hour total; don't see any problems as noted
by other posters (yet...)

May I ask whose hose/gun at what cost?
