NANPU Light-Duty Air Sandblaster Gun Kit with Siphon & Gravity Feed, Ceramic Nozzle, Metal Body, for Small Project Surface Prep, Paint & Rust Removal, Metal/Wood/Glass Etching, Requires Air Compressor

I ordered this hand-held blaster for a small project where I need to strip and repaint some mild steel sheets. It arrived today, and after giving it a quick test, I’m happy to say it works brilliantly! In the video, I’m blasting a scrap piece of mild steel square tubing I had lying around. It’s been in my garage for years and was covered in mill scale and some rust. I’m using 120-grit aluminum oxide as the blast media with the hopper (not the siphon). It may be hard to see clearly in the video, but the finish after blasting is absolutely beautiful—totally clean and velvet-smooth. For small projects like car parts, I think this blaster is going to be incredibly useful. Quick tip: If you’re using the hopper and you point the gun downward before pulling the trigger, the blast media can spill out. Start with the gun level as you pull the trigger, then move to a slight downward angle while blasting.

This is very easy to use. Great value for the money. Works well for golf club heads. Size is compact for storage. 1 key observation: The glass sand media goes literally EVERYWHERE. I built a chamber using a clear storage container with a locking lid. I cut out one hole big enough for my hand/forearm to fit through AND I taped off a piece of plastic over the hole & cut an "X" shaped slit in it. I then cut a hole on the side, just small enough for the nozzle to fit through. WOW does the media find any tiny nook to fly out of... BUT my method still saves a lot of the media for reuse. However, I now need to find a way to filter it so that all the junk that comes off a golf head does not end up mixed in with the sand.

Works well for small jobs. Siphon hose works great

1. The gun must be PERFECTLY level or it only blows air. Which means you can't blast anything under a car. 2. The nozzles diameter is so big the media lasts literally SECONDS. I blasted about 6 sq inches and it emptied the hopper. The two replacement nozzles provided are the same size. 3. As everyone probably already knows, the media gets EVERYWHERE! You could only blast outside in the middle of the yard or you'll be cleaning or vacuuming for hours. Plus, the ricochet hurts like hell so you must suit up, head to toe, protective eye wear (obviously), protective face guard, hat,etc. It's just not worth the incredible hassle. Take whatever it is to a blast shop or buy another part. 3.

The sandblaster is okay for smaller items but I don't think it's great for anything bigger than that. Seems to work just fine as long as you don't fill it right up it has a tendency to clog at times.

It works, but a lot of sand comes out of the end when you’re not pulling the trigger

Works off and on. Waist of money.

Funciona muy bien
