Shouting at my screen, noooooo, cause I have that same thing. Don't work that great but it works if it don't clog. I've bought alot of stuff on amazon. One of the best things so far, not exactly tool, but it is a tool, my $30 head unit in my work truck. I was and am still surprised at how good it works. Now the ideal sandblast thing is the pressure pot I got from harbor freight. Did a few modifications, and it works awesome.
I’ve done that on my F600, you can knock the flash rust off with phosphoric acid to prep it for paint, you need a really good pressure washer like 5000 psi and high gallon per hour, also if you have a well, probably not good for your well pump
Paint sprayer purchase and review next? I could definitely use the sand blaster for small jobs in town, way better than the dust from an air driven one 😜👍
I bought one and used it on my sierra frame. from what I found works best is keep the suction tube on top of the wand and a cheap plug in air mattress pump to the 2nd tube to blow air into the bottom of the bucket works best also keep the media dry
Our company demo'd an industrial hydro-blast system that had an optional emulsible rust-inhibitor. I'm sure you could purchase it and mix it into your feed-water.With a 3000psi pump it blasted 3/16" of flake off a coal crusher/sizer that had been in 150f for 3 years, fairly quickly.
Put a ball valve up on the suction side to adjust the amount of sand / media going throughthe head, and that will make things work a little more efficiently, the motto less is best works with any form of media blasting.
These work better with the higher output petrol driven pressure washers rather than the electric home versions. The higher pressure really helps with the venturi effect to suck enough sand into the flow of water compared to lower pressure washers. The coarser the sand used the better too as you want rough sand for better cutting action. Also, remember everyone not to use sand with a dry blaster as the fine dust created as the sand explodes on the steel surface will get into your lungs and can lead to silicosis of your lungs!!!
@@randomname4726 True but for best protection you have to fork out for a air fed full face mask. Pretty sure here in Australia the use of sand has been banned even for industrial businesses that have the proper protection gear.
Yeeeesss finally a good review on these things! I was just thinking about buying one and couldn't find any good reviews. Awesome content, can't wait to see the Fargo complete
Project Brupeg used one of those in conjunction with a cheap pressure pot and that seemed to make it into a genuinely good sandblaster without the dust.
Pretty much my math when looking at a particular repair that is known to fail but hasn’t yet but when I factor in a $250-300 tow bill the $ to fix it before it fails is a free upgrade.
I got one and it works decent, but used a ton of sand to do just a K member out of a Dodge Dart. Next time I use it Im going to try and meter down the sand some because I dont think it needs anywhere near as much as it siphons up.
The kits that I purchased off of the Internet was significantly more money and came with a lot longer hose and worked amazing for the work we did as long as you kept the sand dry.
Siphon feed sandblasters work better if you keep the pickup tube near the top of the blast media, instead of forcing it to the bottom of the bucket/bag of media/sand. The pickup tube is actually 2 tubes 1 for outgoing media the other for incoming air. When you force the pickup into the blast media the air tube gets packed with sand, causing restrictions. Recycled glass works better with wet blasting than coal slag.
I would love to see you get a laser cleaner to use and test like when tested various welders. With the various projects you do I think it would get alot of use.
I made a short on how to make it work better with little added air. I used to blast my chassis and started the KBS coating process. Also if you dont have a strong pressure washer the results will be less than ideal.
For the last prep before paint after blasting, a propane torch makes good work of burning off the left over grease and drys the surface from water. You heat the surface just enough for it to change colour. Check Dan Gelbart, who is a prototyping genoious.
the answer to the question you ask is determind by how many CFM and at what pressure air you have. the performance totally depends on your unidentified air source. Enough air costs alot more than a cheap nozzle. I suspect your roof nail gun compressor will be very busy and make you wait around while you stay cool by evaporation.
Iv seen it done before where you add a cheap presure pot sand blaster to feed the sand to the pressure washer nozzle so you get good feeding but no dust and less air requirements
Just bought one after watching this. Need to do the rear section of a pick up frame. Works pretty good. Used 4 bags of media at $13 a bag. Really happy with the results. I been wanting to get one but wasn’t sure how it would work. Thanks
If you can get crushed glass it works great. Not glass beads crushed glass. Small enough that it doesn’t hurt you. Some recyclers sell it. No silicone, better all around. Try spraying it with vinegar after blasting.
Bought one couple years ago, didn't have much success but my pressure washer might be to small or different grade of sand. Definitely going to give it another try after seeing this.
I have one that was a Amazon special, I think $75 one and we love it it does great and yes highly recommend one. I have found out that obviously the bigger pressure washer the better, mine is a 13hp 2200 psi 3.2gpm and it works fantastic on the higher hp machine
We use more professional grade versions of that to clean heat exchangers in oil refineries. The problem is carbon steel is going to rust again five minutes later, we only used it on stainless parts
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Some pressure washers can handle using Hot water through the pump but a person must check out the specs on the PW itself first or they could damage their pumps. I acquired a new Hotsy 4,000 PSI PW this fall which can handle up to 185 degree water through the pressure pump which carries a 5 year warranty against defects! Many PW can handle water temperatures up or 140 degrees by what I've found online.💪 I owned a 4,000 PSI Craftsman PW I bought New in the early 90s that could handle up to 160 degree water which helped me easily cut through all greasy engines, drivelines and so forth I came across. I used that pressure for almost 20 years before my city damaged it by not turning my water supply back on when they were upgrading our main waterline. They ended up paying for my new Hotsy PW as it was the only model that could handle what the Craftsman PW could before the lack of water destroyed my pump. Before I sold my last shop I had a 52 gallon electric Hot water heater which enabled me to easily clean most greasy messes I had to clean with the pressure washer. I had it set at 150 degrees when using my PW. Any pressure washer that can handle warm to hot water will work much better and its a ton easier and less messy than using a sandblasting attachment, IMPO. Make darn sure you use a rubber garden hose as plastic or lesser quality garden hoses will rupture when not, warm water is used.🩹 Loved the Great Video of the Sand blaster in action! I too bought one of these years ago and never used it, lol. Hope this helps people as they deal with grease and rusted machines. Heat makes everything work better as I learned.
Kurtis from CEE Australia bought the industrial version of this a few months ago. It has a big compressor that mixes air & water with the garnet. The method is called "waterblasting" or "wet sandblasting". It works great on big heavy greasy chunks of metal with decades old paint and baked oil (he repairs stuff for the mining companies). After blasting you can simply turn a knob on the machine and rinse off the part with water (with added rust prohibitor). Kurtis likes this method more compared to traditional sandblasting: it's way less dusty, you don't need an enclosure and you'll need to rinse off the part afterwards anyways. For him it's simply more convenient as a complete package. 😎🤘
Been pressure washing for 20 years, in southern Louisiana. I've never used one of those that made it worth the time on anything of size. Especially with the humidity down here. When humidity is 90% and you start pressure washing, there's no way that tube ain't getting clogged with moist sand. Play sand, black glass, baking soda, doesn't matter.
Curtis at cutting edge engineering on youtube got a professional wet sandblasting thing. It's pretty wicked if you want to see another used that works. He has some conditioner he can add after blasting to stem the rust. It's not one of these cheap things though.
Rich, I 100% subscribe to the "boy math" logic. I'm 50 years old, not a professional mechanic, yet own a 8' wide tool box that weighs 1200 lbs.... EMPTY! 😂❤😂
1) Never try to beat a man at his own game. 2) A cheap paint job will make it rust worse than no paint. 3) Paint what you can see, spray the rest with Blaster Surface Shield. Great review Rich!
I bet that set-up would have been awesome with one of those insane pressure washers. All kf the GPH and all of the pressure. (The kind that will strip paint off by itself)
Rich grab some holetite it keeps flash rust at bay until you can primer your parts. I have a ductless blasting business in Hawaii and I swear by that stuff. Buys you a day to primer parts
I bought one a little while ago. Haven’t used it yet because it’s been between 105-111 degrees here in central Texas recently. With humidity. Glad to see I made a good purchase. I bet the inventor is a rich man now.
Buddy of mine uses this setup, but uses a wet sand slurry instead of the dry pickup. He has a slushie machine type agitator in it to keep the mix consistent. For what it cost him, it is an excellent bit of kit!
does he use real packaged aggregate or being wet can he go get sand from a beach? seems really expensive to use the bags of media.. at that point i think id just lean on an angle grinder
@AndrewBrowner I just use the cheapest filtered sand that I can find. Sometimes it's the glass stuff. Sometimes it's fine play sand lol. You can use sand from the beach. If you filter out the bigger stuff.

Ah so I wasn't wrong about this, good for mostly paint removal, cleaning up axles, quarter panels and other rough automotive stuff of limited size. But not something you'd use on a semitruck tractor frame, etc, that's where mobile blasters come in, you save up a couple of big jobs to where it's worth it to have them come by.
@@OutdoorHore wire wheel isnt going to smooth it out anymore than sandblasting would.. paint never sticks under vehicles for long even off the lot with ideal factory paint its chipping and flaking in a few years
30 years ago i bought a 4000psi pressure washer pump out of florida as no o one in my part of the world was doing anything like this. I mounted it to a 16 hp wisconsin engine and bought an hydro nozzel . Found " black beauty" coal slag works best no clumping due to moisture and very sharp. Started balsting and painting farm and construction equipment. Bought half a day for an entire farm tractor. Full day for a dozer. Yes you get nasty wety gritty. Ruined several pair of glasses.That was when I was much younger and had kids to feed.
Hey Rich, just to let you and your other viewers know, youtube unsubscribed me from your channel. I was wondering where is the Deboss's garage. I'm back🤙🏽🤙🏽
It's a pity there's no way of collecting the sand afterwards, like separating the water from the sand so it can be dried reused, as it used heck of a lot of sand.
It does seem like excess waste. You got to be careful trying something like that though. The sand / blast media will have the particulates that were just removed mixed in with it. It would be difficult separating that and could damage whatever you are blasting. I tore up an aluminum intake trying to do that. Had rust and paint flakes peppered all over it.
Spend $50 to save $500 ? Yeah thats -$450, or free to me Also for flash rust, of you got a 500gal tank to feed the pressure washer from, you can mix a rust inhibitor in the tank so the water you are washing with will protect the metal until you get to paint prep
I know this is expensive but I've seen guys use sand blasting for the Edison Dodge and been thinking: I haven't seen anyone use a laser rust remover, even a professional shop. Are they not suitable? You don't get sand everywhere and the thing is more mobile than a sandblasting machine for remote work. The only downside is energy consumption, as a continuous laser blaster needs 2-3KW of power and a pulse one for stripping paint for example can sip 2-500W from what I've seen.

Yeeeesss finally a good review on these things! I was just thinking about buying one and couldn't find any good reviews. Awesome content, can't wait to see the Fargo complete
From what I've seen the sand suction hose needs to sit on top of the pressure wand so water stays out, prevents plugs.
That’s allot of sand used for what you did!! But if it works it’s got to be cheaper than hiring a company to do it. Thanks for the info Rich

You don't get sand everywhere and the thing is more mobile than a sandblasting machine for remote work. The only downside is energy consumption, as a continuous laser blaster needs 2-3KW of power and a pulse one for stripping paint for example can sip 2-500W from what I've seen.
Canadian?
