Sandblaster Gun with 3 Extra Nozzles : Sand Blasting Tool

Sandblaster Gun with 3 Extra Nozzles : Sand Blasting Tool
  • Wholesale tools
  • Includes Three Extra Nozzles
  • A perfect accessory for your sandblaster!

Haven't really been able to use as hoped. Have tried on several occasions but before I really get started the nozzle clogs. Using coal slag as the media which is pretty darn fine...but the second you stop the flow of material with stop it backs up and plugs. Air flow settings are key and just haven't found the settings to make it work yet.

This is an add-on "dead-man" shut-off valve and nozzle assembly for use with pressure-pot sandblasters like the cheaper ones from Harbor Freight. If you don't already have one of those, this won't be very useful except possibly as a novel paperweight or something to throw into the corner to relieve frustration.

I bought mine at a local tool store; it is the same Pit Bull branded package.

Contrary to what the package says, it comes with 4 extra ceramic nozzles, but no wrench.

The nozzles are 5 different sizes, ranging from about 0.087" diameter to about 0.123". (Take those measurements with a grain of salt... it's not easy to measure them, and the nozzles are tapered inside. They're definitely not all the same size.)

Installation: it screws directly onto the original shutoff valve body after removing the old tip assembly and wrapping some Teflon tape around the threads.

How well does it work? Um, I don't know yet. There's a problem with the motor on my two-cylinder compressor, and when I took the motor apart, more things broke and I discovered that replacement parts are hard to come by. I'll see if I can do some spot blasting with the little compressor, using the smallest diameter tip.
