We can all see that gravity has the sand moving forward, preventing it from flowing through the gun.
I'd recommend to either hold upright or add more sand.
Also, sift out the sand and use a finer sand.
“It’s a bit shit” 😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🤣
That unit uses a fine grit.
I am using exactly the same product and it works very well.
Hard for gravity to work if the hole is vertical and not horizontal. Use it pointing straight not down or on a 10 to 20 degree angle
I wish I had seen this before I bought the same one…🤦🏼
Me too. I should have known it was too good to be true.
Thank you, you saved me spending money on that piece of crap!
No problem mate👍
Well, I need a blaster for very small jobs. I’m guessing this one needs very fine grit/sand and if so, it should work just fine for very small jobs.
I could spit sand harder than this junk. Brilliant review I’ve crossed this option off my list. Cheers bud!
Yeah it definitely didn't work well for me. Not sure if I set it up wrong or not but I ended up getting a proper blasting cabinet and that works really well👍
@@TheYorkshireMix You need decently fine media and very dry air for it to work properly. Also worth checking the air passage behind the nozzle. I found that when they drilled the passage they left a flap of metal hanging over where the end of the drill had broken through
Pushed that out of the way with a small screwdriver and it works much better, still only for small projects though. I've used mine with glass beads to clean motorcycle engines.
@@oscarmuffin4322 yeah I put it in the bin and got a blasting cabinet instead 🤣
I've purchased kiln dried sand fine grit it's same as silica sand for block paving
Sling it across workshop about 30 or forty feet
Good honest review mate,I built from scratch a sandblasting unit cupboard type thing took me ages,a silencer unit for me compresser,I was super chuffed,plugged this thing in to my comp,it wouldn't of taken the skin off a rice pudding,I was devastated to say the least, as you can imagine , realised my 24l comp isn't strong enough,probably need atleast double,but yor right ,that unit is still lol,thanks for the vid,spot on mate.
Yeah its very disappointing isn't it. I ended up buying a blasting cabinet and that works so much better. ( after doing a few modifications that is). You definitely need a bigger compressor for blasting mate as it uses a lot of air. My 90l compressor is probably the smallest you could get away with but it is still running all the time that you are blasting. 👍
@@TheYorkshireMix very true,take care best of luck with future projects mate.
@@patty-ow9ul cheers pal 👍
You need different size nozzles for different beading
This only came with 1 nozzle unfortunately. Im currently looking at sandblasting cabinets for the smaller parts of my project car but I might give this another go when I come to re furnish the wheels 👍
You should sift the sand before using it to get trash and rocks out of the sand you using and i would try finer sand than that .
I made my own with a $3.00 harbor freight air gun attachment and a Gatorade bottle.
It works just as well or better than those cheap ones you can buy.
Dude you can't have it pointing down unless you have a full hopper to feed the gun.
Before you bin it, nip out and get some kiln dried sand.
Blasting requires an enormous amount of air.
Try baking soda in it, there a guy on here that has same gun and it works really well for surface rust and paint. His aim wasn't to strip to bare metal, it was to get it ready to paint. And the soda did good job knocking all the loose crap off
do not use soda blasting Medea around grass that you don't want killed. I did it took 3 years to recover.
@@davidgun6826 yeah I guess that actually makes sense because isn't baking soda actually a type of salt? I know any salt will kill grass, main ingredients in round up I think are salts
Sorry you had such a poor experience. Did you run it at 90 PSI? If you did not that would be a big factor for it not performing well. Also the media you purchased looked like rather tan fine grains of media. I have a similar gun and it runs like a dream, but I use mainly soda media on carburetors. It works great on furniture too and even takes paint and rust of metals. Try a finer media and be sure your compressor can keep up with the volume of air you’ll be using. Good luck.
I tried all different ways to get it working with no luck so I put it in the bin and bought a blasting cabinet instead and that works perfectly 👍
@@TheYorkshireMix glad you are happy with the cabinet. Enjoy!
Seems others hold it level.
Yeah but most the time the job needed to be blaster requires it to not be held level
Dude!! Off subject. But I like that damn jacket/coat. Where can I get one?
Should of held it a lot closer and it would of worked
Hasn't got enough pressure
Thank you for review, just watned to buy the same :P
One very poor experience. You don't even show what compressor and psi you use. Including you ruin the gun instead of using finer sand or glass. Pretty bad review.
Thanks for share mate. Thats a pice of junk!!!
Are you sure it is not because the big grains of sand? Would it work better with thinner sand?
I think the grit was too big for that gun. There are many videos with the same gun, using soda which is much finer and getting good results.
I think it could possibly work better with finer stuff but it just wasn't right for me. I've since bought a blasting cabinet and that's much better but it still needed some slight modifications 👍
@@TheYorkshireMix I am going to use Soda crystals to clean my alloy wheels before repainting. I think those guns are only for really fine media and small areas.
If only Ryobi made a Sand Blaster hey... 🤔
🤣 yeah that would be great lol👍
Think I be investing in a shot blasting cabinet mutch quicker looks Cheap and nasty
Yeah I ended up buying a blasting cabinet as this wasn't good for my needs
A few years ago I saw a gun like yours and I thought the concept was clever. However, when I looked at the air consumption, which I can’t remember now how much it was, my little 25L air compressor would not cope with it because it would be running pretty much constantly. At the end I given up the idea.
Apparently, to use sand blasting guns we should have at least a 100L air compressor, the bigger the better obviously. At the moment the 25L air compressor is the max I can have in my garage due to lack of space. So, no sand blasting for me 😂
Yeah I must admit it was a little disappointing. I definitely need to do more research in to sand blasting as its a very useful tool to have when it works well 👍
@@TheYorkshireMix
Try reducing the nozzle a bit.
One day, I will try to make this one: ua-cam.com/video/Rb1JuEODyDw/v-deo.html
Yeah I was thinking about trying that. The home made 1 in that video looks like it works well. Might have to make 1 lol
Wrong grit for this type of gun,it is pretty obvious that it would'nt work properly.
I think you're being too kind, the blaster is absolutely worthless. You get what you pay for. A good review, especially since you tried to improve it. Lesson for all to steer clear of such cheap tack. I wonder where it was made - as if I have to ask!
Yeah it was definitely a waste of money unfortunately 👍
There is a difference between 'cheap' and 'inexpensive'. I did not hear you mention the price. You should preview your videos and understand how to use and setup the equipment you are reviewing before you post anything. For example, what pressure did you set your compressor? Did you realize that you can adjust the media flow rate using the lever adjustment? I bought this sand blasting gun and it worked well to remove rust and to prepare a surface for painting or electroplating. The user manual says not to use this with 'sand'. You did not mention what kind of 'sand blasting media', the mesh or anything else about what you used. Just my two cents worth!
What a waist of time,wrong,wrong sand !!!!!!
Tha is a shit one. on an other video, same problem.
Useless 😂
stick to your day job
🤣
Looks like a waste of cash
Yeah it definitely was for me mate. It went in the bin not long after making this video 👍
Think you said it right.. It's Shit.
Yeah it was definitely disappointing 👍
