harbor freight sand blaster?

[Chief Brody]

I hate sandblasting and I don't ever want to do it again. I would only do it now in the middle of Winter if i had to do it. The compressor lines require so much drying down here and if you do't use it the sand just clumps and glogs and eats up the tips. Did I mention that I hate sand blasting. I love the results and if I have a need again I will just take it a have it sandblasted for me. If I had a blast cabinet it would be great.
If you got a one-off piece it might make sense to have someone do it.

We often had to sandblast on the hottest and most humid days in summer,and it did suck ...sand kept clumping up unless we dried it on a hot wood stove (in july!--we kept one outside for that purpose),and the compressor would get condensation in the hoses and wet the sand almost instantly again..

I hated doing it early in the morning--nothing like having to spend the entire day with grit in your underwear (yes--it gets EVERYWHERE,even if you wear a scuba suit !),including your butt crack..and having your eyes look glued shut all day---but nothing beats sandblasting for getting ALL the rust of something ..
