Typhoon Pro Blow Gun

Typhoon Pro Blow GunThis is a great product. I bought the pro version to get the all-metal design (the product picture is wrong), and I'm glad I did. Super high-quality design, feels just right in the hand. The amount of air this thing puts out is awesome, just shy of leafblower status. It is quieter, smoother operating, and in my opinion safer than conventional blow guns because it doesn't have a single orifice. Totally worth the $27 I paid including shipping, and I would recommend the pro model.

Milton Industries S-745 1/4 Npt Female Amt-style 3 Way Coupler

Milton Industries S-745 1/4 Npt Female Amt-style 3 Way Coupler
  • Sold Individually

Bought this (and some other Milton units) to standardize my workshop on a single quality connector. I had one out of box failure (leaked at the factory joint) out of about 25 units. Itwas promptly replaced by the seller free of charge, very pleased.

I orders up various quantities of the S775 (ends of hoses or hose reels and tools with 1/4" NPT male), S776 (tools with 1/4" NPT female), S213 (5 piece set of the 75 & 76, plus the male A series ends you need for loose hoses), S745 (used to make a conversion hose so I can borrow a friends tools that use the M style connectors). All interconnect nicely, and seal beautifully. The real test is time and use, so maybe in 6 months after I drag them around the shop can comment on longevity.

One thing that I found an improvement over the cheapo crap ones, I can snap a tool in one handed, without having to retract the collar to insert. Nice! Would highly recommend these to replace the cheap ones that are bought at your local import tool store which all leak and get sloppy very quickly.

I went to the hardware store to buy a new adapter for inflating tires. There are three different kinds of plugs! And none of them is the kind my compressor came with. Now I have this coupler installed on the compressor, and it accepts all plugs very nicely.

Eastwood Soda Blaster - Blast - Blasting Paint Removal

Eastwood Soda Blaster - Blast - Blasting Paint RemovalI bought this to use in a home garage with a 155 psi compressor (11 cfm) to strip car paint. The premise is wonderful and when it works, it does a great job. BUT...you need to ensure that your air-lines are absolutely dry. Mine aren't and I spend more time clearing and trying to get it to work than anything else.

You should also note that what you're buying is the original sandblasting setup with fittings adapted for soda blasting that you need to install. It's not hard to do, but not all the threaded pieces tighten in the best positions, and the hoses aren't the easiest to manipulate. It would have been better if Eastwood either installed the soda fittings before shipping, or didn't install anything.

Heard that these work great on wood finishing, also metal. Sand works beter on metal than soda, soda works great on work. Thanks for speedy shipping
