Looking for suggestions on media blasters for personal use. Not going to be using it all the time, so I'm not looking to break the bank. Will mainly be for transfer case housings, axles, homemade bumpers, etc. So I'm also not looking for a blasting cabinet. I may step up to using this on body panels as well, although nowhere near as often.

Do y'all have any recommendations on brands? Types? Etc? I really don't know anything about them just yet, so any and all advice and info you all could provide would be GREATLY appreciated.


Thanks
-B

This one works pretty well on that stuff, especially for the price...

That one can also converted to a soda blaster for just a few dollars as well giving you one unit to do everything on your truck.

Do y'all have experience with that exact one? I usually don't buy stuff from HF or NT. I was looking at one that was just about the same as that, except it was made by Eastwood. I don't wanna buy the Harbor Freight one, and have it take a shit on me after a few weeks of use.

I have that one, works well for me, about the same as the Eastwood that is similar, a friend of mine has one, but if you want the Eastwood for piece of mind, I know what you mean...

The peace of mind in having the "good" one is always nice. If I have to drive back to Harbor Freight just ONCE because it broke, it would already put me over the price of the Eastwood one. Harbor Freight isn't exactly close. lol
