Great product
Campbell Hausfeld AT1226 Sandblasting Kit
I bought mine from a brick and mortar store for about 6 dollars more than Amazon. The blaster used less air than a couple of my air grinders. My compressor is a Quincy 5hp that turns on at 145 PSI and off at 175. The blaster clogged about every 10 seconds when I ran it at 145 to 175 PSI. I put a regulator on and set it at 90 PSI. At 90 PSI it NEVER clogged again, and blasted very well while holding the gun 1 to 4 inches away. The directions said to not use higher than 125 PSI. I should have read them before I started. Also, don't push the hose onto the pickup tube until it hits the outer tube. That will keep air from entering between the tubes and will cause it to not pickup sand. I blasted 8 hours without a problem after lowering the pressure. All sand blasters take a lot of air, but I don't think you need one as big as mine to use this.

My husband was very pleased with the Campbell Hausfeld Sandblasting Kit. It is strong and study and we will use it often.
This Gun was a replcement for an older gun that I'd been using for sometime now. With the new gun my time saving has doubled, more sand when I need it and most importantly where I need it . Would buy this again, great buy
I needed this for a small project and didn't want to spend a lot of money. This more than fit my needs. I was more than satisfied with the performance of this product. All you need is an air compressor, some sand, this kit and you're I business.
I was introduced to sandblasting over 20 years ago and have done a lot of it. My experiences range from stripping rust and paint from metal using 200lb. pressurized blasting "pots" to delicate glass carving with gravity/syphon feed equipment. This is not heavy blasting equipment. It works well as a syphon feed blaster. Great for small stripping, de-rusting jobs. I bought it for etching/carving glass and small cleaning jobs at home. It works great for what I intend.

This is our first sandblast gun and so far it works great. We've used it about a total of 20 hours so far and used lowes play sand as well as black diamond fine abrasive both worked great. I took the advice from other reviews and bought a water/oil separator that is also a must have and make sure your media is dry. This gun has been reliable and super easy to use. If ever we need another one we'll buy this one again. Also its great we put the media in a bucket and blast over a large 50 gal. drum cut in half and recycle the media.
Great for small jobs. Be sure to sift your sand before blasting. I used window screen and that was just fine.
Product worked really well, removing old paint and rust from a very old piece of cast iron (old clay target thrower). I used sand from the kids sand box that I ran through some metal window screen first. Here is the air compressor I have so you can look up the specs and compare to yours: Puma 2-HP 20-Gallon (Belt Drive) Dual-Voltage Cast-Iron Air Compress. The compressor can't keep up, but worked fine. I would run it until the pressure dropped to about 100 lbs, then let it catch up, cool down and go again. So, just fine for this type of application.
Hope this helps -
The construction was supprisingly heavy duty. It has a solid steel frame, aluminum nozzle locking collar, and ceramic nozzle. It also comes with about a 6 or 7 foot rubber hose. I have had no problem with it sucking up white sand and backing soda; I try to run 95 - 105 psi. Like other people have said, it is slow and I only recommend it for smaller projects like pistols and rifles.
This is a great buy for the price.
