NEIKO30068A Air Sand Blaster Gun | Remove Paint, Rust, Stains, and Grime on Surfaces | Gravity Feed | Replaceable Steel Nozzle

This has been a great addition to my tool collection. Its adjustable, comfortable to use and gets the job done very well! I used -Black Beauty- from a vendor here and have had repeated excellent success with it adjusted at half, for light blasting, to full open, for tough paint.The ONLY drawback for me is that the small hopper empties within a couple of minutes. requiring work stoppage to refill it. TIP: I found filling the blaster was easiest and fastest with a good old 1gal milk jug. The blaster can be, very quickly, refilled on the spot from 7 to 8 times with one gal of Black Beauty sand blasting media with very little time wasted.

This worked perfectly for my Covid project of restoring a 1976 Honda motorcycle that sat for years in storage. I used this to strip the paint on the frame for painting which was so much easier and quicker than sanding. I also used this to clean up the engine using a light weight blast medium and that worked great as well. The blast medium tank is small so you need to refill is often but for the price this is fantastic. If I did a lot of blasting I would get a better blaster but as often as I need one this fits the bill. I never had any clogs using diamond blast medium or crushed walnut shells but I did use an in-line air dryer so I believe that helped.

I'm sure the item works fine. I purchased used and found a 12ga shell rattling around inside the hopper. Thought it was rather funny, unsafe kinda, but funny none the less. Amazon said I could return it when I gave them a heads up I let them know there was no need for anything like that. I'll be keeping my purchase.

It works pretty well with the fine coal slag I was using from Tractor Supply but it clogs like crazy with the medium grit, to the point where it was useless. The fine grit did everything I needed it to though stripping some auto paint and rust, just have to buy the dang 50lbs bags by the pallet it seems, but that is just how it goes, they were like 11 bucks a piece though, so it can get expensive. 3 stars because the medium grit was a waste of time and money for me, but using fine grit I would give it 4.something stars.

I am really surprised how good this little sand blaster works, I purchased it for a small job, and it fit the bill. It does go through sand pretty quick as the sand chute is small, so probably not worth it for big jobs. Be sure to wear long sleeves, gloves and a face shield. you will regret it if you don't.

I didn't expect much, but man, this really sucked. First impression - it feels super super cheap. The container for sand is very small and runs out fast. There's also nothing from stopping sand from just pouring out when you lean the gun over, so make sure you hold it level as you work. It's extremely messy, I think it got more sand in my hair and clothes than on the metal. It seemed like it was hitting hard, but wasn't doing a great job at tearing the paint and rust away, even after I'd sanded the crap out of it. Pretty disappointed. One use thing for me. I will probably never touch it again. I see why shops charge hundreds of dollars for sand blasting professionally.

I used to prep firearms and parts for Duracoat. Works with 120 grit aluminum oxide at 80-90 psi. I run it with a little 1.3 HP 20 gallon compressor. The hopper is usually empty by the time my compressor motor kicks on. By the time I have the hopper refilled my compressor is full and ready for another go. A little bit inefficient with media waste, but I don’t blast enough for this to be a concern. Use for small, quick jobs outdoors.

No directions, low media capacity, very high consumption of blasting media, extremely messy, and no adjustments to cover work area.
