LE LEMATEC Portable Sandblaster Gun Kit, Air Compressor Sand Blaster, Paint & Rust Remover, Abrasive Media & Soda Blaster for Metal, Wood, Automotive & DIY Surface Prep, AS118-2C

For the price vs value you can't beat. My teenage son used to clean up some 20+ years old rims with a bag of baking soda from Costco. He wore PPE but was able to easily complete the task with a 150psi air compressor. Awesome results. Strongly recommend.

Sanded down an old shotgun, and it really surprised me at the good job it did, I thought the nozzle tip was a little large as it used a lot of particles, but it did what I bought it for ; No complaints

After receiving a used/non-working unit the company was very responsive and shipped a functional replacement immediately—this was great.Product works as advertised, is very light and comfortable to use, and replacing nozzles is easy. I’d recommend taping and using a quick-release adapter on the inlet—not clear how well the threads will hold up (they were stripped bare on the first used unit).Lots of people commented that it chews through blaster medium, but it seemed like typical usage to me compared to a dedicated sand blaster :shrug: For anything but small projects you’ll be filling it a lot, which may be a blocker depending on your usage—but when you don’t want to pull around a dedicated unit or set up a siphon unit it’s super-convenient.

$40 and media the possibilities are endless. I have a lot of time behind blasting cabinets and working in a shop so I know my way around the blaster. I tried to buy one back in the day maybe 20 years ago, but it was a joke. so .. I had absolutely no expectation, but this hopper above the handle idea just works.! The thing will crank as much sand and air as you could supply. From woodworking crafts to car parts, to even firearm parts. it does it all. I’m totally impressed. I love it.! And if you’re using it just to get through a little part of your project that needs sandblasting it’s well worth it. Also you can’t beat the price. Again, I had the top loader hopper style.

I got this sandblaster for my husband, as he rehabs vintage motorcycles and does a lot of other things, for which he often uses a blast cabinet, which usually requires some setup.He liked the ease of setting this handheld unit up; this sandblaster is not too heavy to hold in the hand, but also is sturdy and rugged enough to do the heavy job it's required to do. And he liked how much easier it would be to do small jobs and things that can't be put into the blast cabinet.He found, though, right off, that the coupler that comes with the kit is too large for what is normally used to hook it up to the compressor that he uses (1/2 horse, 100 psi compressor); he had to use one of his own couplers (see photos). These were some of his observations:"In my experimenting with this unit, I used aluminum oxide grit to remove rust and old paint off of old stove parts (see photo). It required 2-1/2 tank fillings to clean one square foot of flat steel surface. For large jobs, repeated fillings is a problem; plus effectiveness of blast drops off at about 60psi, which happens quite soon if using a 1/2 horse, 100 psi compressor. My larger shop compressor at 150 psi worked perfectly. Constant shaking of the unit to maintain flow can be annoying, and finding the sweet trigger spot to allow blasting and not just air is an issue that goes with the shaking. It can be used in a cabinet, but then the constant refilling becomes annoyingly inconvenient, a situation that does not occur with a cabinet because grit is automatically recycled.In conclusion, I found the unit works well for impromptu small jobs where set up is time consuming. I would recommend that the tank be redesigned to allow better gravity feeding of the grit."

This sand blaster works great for small projects. It sprays the sand blasting material on evenly. It may take longer to complete a project if using a smaller air compressor like a pancake style one as the take can't keep up with the air demand.

My husband has been using this sandblaster for various projects around the house, and he says it's a great tool. It's effective for stripping paint and cleaning up metal. He appreciates the quality and says it's a worthwhile addition to his workshop.

Bought as gift, great remarks from owner
