Keysco Tools F100DM ALC Deadman Blaster Abrasive Blaster

This is my first sandblaster, and I did TONS of research. This is the cheapest blaster that comes with the large nozzle tip. A MUST if your going to even blast 4 rims for a vehicle. I have done 10hrs of blasting and have yet to wear out the tip. Also I can not see an signs of the hose wearing out. Remember to use Teflon tape on EVERYTHING!

I am very happy with the power of this unit when connected to a large enough air supply. I hooked up two small compressors to get enough CFM. A large one is on my wish list. You need to adjust the flow of material to not overwhelm the air supply, but then it really blasts. My set up requires letting the air catch up but that's not a bad thing anyway. I bought the water separator and am glad I did. Humid air makes wet, clogging sand. I use silica sand that costs $4 per hundred lb bag at local lumber yards. Other abrasives are available, but then recycling them becomes important. Sand is great for outdoors work where recycling would be difficult. The hood works but will need a regular replacement of the plexiglass window. A dust mask , leather gloves, and long sleeves are required! The material hose is fairly short, but a longer one is expensive, so moving the pot close to the work is required. I am glad I didn't buy a smaller rig.
