wallfish 18,612 #2 Posted August 26 I had one a while back. It worked OK when it worked but clogged up a bit too. It also leaves a mess of media to so pay attention where you use it. Been thinking about trying again as a new pump was recently put on the pressure washer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DET 111 #5 Posted August 27 I have one from Northern Tool that I have used a couple of times and been satisfied. Like stated above, I always use it outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High pressure water with media in it "blasts" the surface it's aimed at 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, I’m guilty of “right too for the right job” but I just weighed my “basic” tool bag--40 lbs. I think it’s time for some dieting that’ll include some “it’ll do” tools. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OoPEZoO 578 #9 Posted September 15 Yes, I have one. I have yet to use it though. I bought in on the recommendation from a friend who just used one to strip down the frame of a '03 Dodge dually. His motor swallowed a valve and he decided to do a body/bed off clean up of everything while he had the engine and tranny out for repair. I saw the before, during, and after pics during the process and was impressed. He was stripping the frame down to bare steel, doing a few repairs, then repainting the entire frame with POR15. It was quite a large project. Anyway, it impressed me enough to take the cheap gamble and pick one up for myself. He was using bags of coal slag he picked up at tractor supply as the blast media. He did warn me that it made one hell of a mess. It apparently gets everywhere.......pockets, ears, shoes, you name it. PPE is your friend. He said the #1 trick was keeping the media dry. He put it in a 5G bucket, then put a trash bag over it with a rubber band around the hose. I am hoping to use it for stripping the frame, hood, and wheels of my RJ when I ever have time to get around to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
