TCP Global Gravity Feed Sand Blaster Gun Kit | Air Compressor Sandblaster, 2 Ceramic Nozzles & Regulator - Abrasive Media & Soda Blaster - Rust, Metal, & Paint Removal

Unlike most of this type sand blaster, you can get replacement tips for it. I bought a pack of two. I haven’t had the opportunity do use one of the Replacement tips yet because after 150 pounds of sand it is still going strong with the first nozzle. I’ve only used medium and fine grit and I haven’t had any clogging issues :-). All in all a pretty good detail sander to get those smaller spots or get into the really tight areas on a bigger job. I’ve also used it in restoring a couple old tools that were rusted solid. That worked very well. Restoration efforts may be the best niche for this kind of sand blaster.

Bought this to replace a larger portable sand blaster. Wish I had bought this first. Worked perfect. We restore vintage claw foot tubs and frequently need to remove paint from the outside casting. Great for this application.

Worked well, not meant for bigger projects, and needs a moisture filter. A bit tall for tight spaces and trouble working when angled upwards. Tank lasts 3-5 minutes per fill up! Fittings Glued directly into plastic and cracked glue when installing couplers... had to use teflon tape to stop leak! Use 2 wrenches when installing or tightening fittings! Pressure valve was handy and worked well for adjusting sand flow. Pressure gage didn't work at all and filled with sand from use! I bought 2 so I have parts to fix gun when needed!

I bought this to remove rust from the chassis of my truck while I redid the suspension. The sand blaster was constantly getting clogged, forcing me to hit the side it it to blow sand. It doesn't blow sand at all when pointed upward due to the way the gravity feed is designed. But for the price, it got the job done even though I was getting frustrated.

I usually don't need a sandblaster often, which is why I sold my 5hp compressor & pressure-pot sandblaster, All I needed was a little hand-held unit, so I picked one up at Harbor Freight for less than 20 bucks, and it served me well for 4 years, until a couple weeks ago. HF had nothing in their store, or online, and I really needed a replacement. I saw this little unit, which was available immediately, and even though this was a few bucks more, after shipping, tax... this beauty was only a couple bucks difference. This handheld unit looked a little tall for the cabinet I got from Tractor Supply, but after connecting the airline (I used this little blaster inside their benchtop cabinet), when I squeezed the trigger on this hand-blaster, it also blew my mind. If you're looking for a small handheld blaster, when you get to this one, your search should be over. Incredible blasting area, MUCH more room in this hopper than in the Harbor Freight unit, and even though the controls (knobs, valve closure, and a trigger that looks like it should be on a plastic toy walkie-talkie, everthing works at least as well as much higher priced units.

I was able to hook a water separator and hose to the inlet of the included regulator, but air leakage made it unusable; it leaked copiously from the regulator top to gun as well as where the metal adapter threaded into the gun. As others have mentioned you cannot attach a normal air fitting directly to the adapter in the gun. The top connector on the regulator uses a flare fitting but the double-sided male adapter in the gun is so poorly machined that you cannot get it to seal. The threads on the adapter are poorly cut, looking more like Acme threads, while the nut on the regulator top connection (the flare) look decently cut; they do not like being screwed together. The adapter has a vague depression that might have been intended to receive the flare on the regulator but it is off center, irregular, and has a partial groove that lets the air escape. The other end of the adapter screws into the gun; threads directly into the plastic. it appears to be pipe thread but doesn't quite match 1/4 NPT; I tried threading in a brass male-male 1/4NPT into the gun and it tightened up way too quickly and I didn't want to risk stripping the plastic threads. So I doubt I can just get a fitting at the hardware store but will try. If I can find one and if the air leaks can be minimized then I may raise the rating for this blaster. The only good thing is that even with all the air leakage, I did briefly try using it for soda-blasting a carburetor body and a painted plastic surface and it actually worked to clean those surfaces. So hopefully it can be made to work despite the terrible machining. Added 8/13/2024 - I found the part needed to replace the terrible adapter. Tru-Flate 21-595 Ball End Adapter, 1/4" MNPT - 1/4" MNPS. It is a brass part and, while also made in china, is properly threaded and has a properly machined flare to match the one on the regulator. Using pipe sealant on the NPT male end that threads into the plastic gun, there's no detectable leakage on the output side of the regulator. The input side till hisses despite having teflon tape on the NPT threads there (also poorly machined on the regulator) but not enough to cause problems. A brief soda blasting test worked better than the previously, mostly due to more available air pressure.

Nice blaster. Simple, and easy to use. You need a lot of power to use this.

It works pretty good , but the canister broke and I had to epoxy it .. I was probably to rough with it . But other than that it's a good unit , I'd buy again

👍

Purchased this tool to blast the paint off an aluminium fence gate which had become flaky. Picked up a bottle of Ozito grit from Bunnings for $5 and put it to work with 100psi compressor. It did a great job and worked better than expected. Also easy to use. Would recommend for light domestic work.

Han funcionado muy bien para cortar cartón que es para lo que las pedí, no las he utilizado para cortar otro material, llegaron en tiempo y forma. Ayuda mucho para no utilizar tijeras comunes ya que se dañan al cortar material grueso, dura bien la batería

Great

First off; I have never used a sand blaster before. I bought this to clean carbon and stains off the exterior of aluminum small engine cylinders. I bought a box of #10 (very fine) glass beads to try with this blaster. I have a 25 gallon compressor and it had no problem supplying enough air for this small task. I must say, this blaster and the #10 glass beads worked excellent. It didn't damage the cylinder, but cleaned it very quickly to like-new condition. And I only used about 1/2 of the hopper to do 1 cylinder. The blaster itself was easy to assemble. The regulator attached with no issues, and I attached a standard air fitting using some teflon tape to the regulator - also with no issues. I found I only needed to turn the hopper valve on half way to supply enough blast media to do the job. I also found that the fine glass beads with drain out of the hopper just by gravity if the hopper valve is fully opened. As for PPE - I wore an N95 mask, safety glasses and a full face shield. That seemed to be adequate for the job I was doing. I did the blasting in the front lawn as I didn't want that fine blast media anywhere near the house. I used so little that there was no trace of it on the lawn when I was finished. For my purposes, this blaster gun is excellent and I highly recommend it for occasional cleaning of small parts.
