Pressure Washer Sandblasting Kit

Wish I had found this sooner. I have been using chemical stripper and a pressure washer to strip decades of paint from 12 cast iron radiators. It was taking forever, and the nooks and crannies made it all but impossible to get the stripper where it needed to be. After weeks of working on this after work and on weekends, we started to run up against weather deadlines: we needed to reinstall the radiators to get heat in the house. I found this after a quick search, and the price was good enough that it was cheaper than buying another gallon of stripper. It arrived the next day, hooked up quickly and easily to my pressure washer wand, and after dumping some Black Blast into a bucket and inserting the siphon, I was rolling within a few minutes. I had the remaining three radiators stripped within a couple hours, and even pulled some of the others back out because this did a WAY better job. Turns out, blasting medium and water at 3100 psi takes paint off of cast iron really well! You do have to be careful of a couple things. First, keep the open bucket away from your over spray or you'll get the media wet. This can be a challenge because the hose is a little short. Second, keep the siphon hose positioned on the top of the washer wand so water doesn't run into the hose and cause a clog. Third, when you disconnect and store it, blow air from an air compressor through the hose to remove any residual media and moisture. It will condense and you'll have a clog the next time you start. My hose did split a little where I attached it to the siphon, making a small air leak. A little duct tape fixed it quickly, though. This is a great little device - I highly recommend it!

This Pressure Washer Sand Blaster words GREAT... IF! No instructions. Not even a piece of paper or picture. But assembly is very easy and I don't think there is any way to do it wrong. So, no dings for that in my book. I read reviews about the hose blowing off. Not a problem if you just assemble it correctly. Worked great on a set of steel wheels off my 48 Plymouth. The stubborn rust and paint went away quickly WHEN the sand fed properly. And this is the 'IF' that you need to overcome. The sand needs to be dry. OK. Got that. Knew it going in. I used play sand. With this system, there really isn't any reason to pay 3 times the price for special sand blasting media. A real savings if you're doing a bigger job. But typically, play sand is stored outside and somewhere along the way it gets wet. 2nd, it comes in a plastic bag which, once moisture gets in, it can't get out. I should have emptied my bag into a paint bucket and let it dry in the sun for a day before using it. It wasn't dripping wet. But it was damp. And that created feed problems. I consider it 'Operator Error'. So, no dings for this either. Even with the damp sand, I just had to keep bouncing the sand bag every 30 seconds or so to get the flow going again. The tube never clogged, it just quit flowing. Others have reported the same problem. It's not the attachment's fault. I took off 2 stars in the 'Ease of Use' category because it's a bit awkward with the 2nd hose and the way the Venturi hose comes off (you want to keep that in the up position). But frankly, there really isn't anything else you could do. A longer hose might be handy for say doing a driveway or something where you need more distance. But this might create other issues with feeding the sand. It's not that hard to move the sand along as you go. Especially if you put it into a paint bucket. Which is exactly what I will do next time. Overall, for the price and the AWESOME job it does. I am a very happy camper. The finished product is smother and more polished than a dry sand blasting finish. I like it better and should reduce the amount of sanding I'll have to do to get my wheels looking great. Highly recommended. Just be prepared to take the needed precautions and you'll be impressed.

If you desperately need to sandblast something this will work, Although Its a mess. It goes through 50lbs of sand ever 5 minutes, and for rusty metal takes about 5 minutes per 4 sq inches. It would be perfect if you lived on the Florida beaches. Pros, #1 - Shoots sand Cons, #1 - Only works with bone dry sand, #2 - If the project is made of steel It will flash rust Immediately. #3 - Makes a MESS sand everywhere. #4 - If you want to reuse sand it will take about 3 hours of cleanup + sifting. #5 - Will most likely cause silicosis. Not bashing this product just saying that it would be easier just to take your project to a sandblasting shop.

Sand is bone dry. kept it in the sun in dark bucket for 2 days. Relative humidity is low. Super dry weather here. When this works it works well but within a couple minutes it allows water down in to the sand feed line and you are DONE! Have to clean out the line, blow it out, and start again. Not worth the effort. Tried the feed line up as others have mentioned but does not seem to help.

This worked exactly like it should. Tried to use it to sandblast an engine compartment in an old car. I went through an 8 pound box of blasting medium in just a couple minutes though, and we really didn’t improve anything. So it was a little bit of a waste of money for me, it did not work well for what I was using it for. I had it hooked up to a Honda pressure washer that is in very good condition, it’s not that the pressure was not adequate. It’s just that this method of sandblasting or pressure washing, whatever you wanna call it, it was not effective for us in a rusty car engine compartment

✅ It does come with everything you need. ✅ It even came with safety glasses. ✅ It appears to be well made and quality parts. ✅ It came with extra nozzles and replacements for wear components. 🚫 The only thing this did for me was make a huge mess everywhere. 🚫It failed to consistently suck sand thru the tube. It required 2 people to even attempt to use it. 1 to constantly stir sand and keep tube unclogged. 1 to use the pressure sprayer. 🚫 It didn’t come with many instructions. I don’t know if it just needs a more powerful pressure sprayer a smaller grain of sand or what. I will openly admit it may be my fault. There may be something I just don’t know about how to use it, back to lack of good instructions. If I run into a chance to use it again and have a different experience I’ll update the review with the correct info and how to make it work right. BOTTOM LINE: I would return it if I could. I packaged it back up to send back and realized my return window had closed. I had waited too long before attempting to use it. That is 100% on me. If you’re thinking about it, I didn’t give it a hard pass. Go ahead and get it and try it. Just do it quickly so you can rerun it if you have the same experience as me.

Works pretty well with some minor mods to keep the sand flowing. I used a adjustable air valve to allow a small amount of compressed air to blow into the non-suction side of the twin tube and it works really good to keep the sand flowing without clogging. Keeping the bucket elevated and the sand dry, along with the nozzle pointed down when not spraying really helps to prevent clogs as well. Overall it worked about as good as any suction type sand blaster but you only have to wear some safety glasses when blasting. I cleaned off some pretty nasty rust fairly quickly wearing just shorts and a t-shirt and the wet sand bounced back towards me was very tolerable, but definitely wear some safety eyewear. One nice part is you don't have to really worry about silica dust as it is wet and does not create any dust. It will go through the sand pretty quickly but does a good job and is much nicer than using dry sand that gets everywhere and can kill you if you if you breath in too much of the dust, Overall not perfect but makes a nasty job a little more manageable as long as you have a decent 2500+ PSI pressure wasaher.

The hose clamps are very "cheesy", you'll want to throw them in the trash as soon as you open the box. The other components are well built, however you must remember you're only spending 30 bucks. I had zero success with Dome Hepot sand, plugged it up instantly! Glass beads and Garnet are too fine, I wasted ALOT of media for very little area. Walnut shells work very well, however if you have a lot of paint or rust they crumble easily and you have to go over the area a few times which really slows down the process! I didn't take the time to look for finer sand although I've heard that the blue store sand is much better that the orange store's. I gave it 5 stars because it is effective for small projects but don't expect to strip an entire vehicle.

Could not get it working and ended up throwing it in the bin.

Lost of money I return it

Excelente diseño, calidad/precio, sin contratiempo de entrega y muy rápido

Works exceptionally well. You don't get all full of sand like traditional sandblasting. It does a very nice job and I'm very impressed.

El producto funciona solo que el área que abarca es poca es mas para detalles.
