Bead Blaster > Which 1 To Buy
I bought one from HF. Granted it is not the free standing cabinet, but rather a bench model. Works okay on what I wanted it for which was small parts, but certainly not the best! If you go that route and decide on a smaller bench model I can tell you to stay well clear of the one with the clear plastic flip lid. Leaks like mad. I ended up buying the gray one with the two side doors. Gun not the best, hose kinks so you have to muck with it a bit, does suck up compressor air so make sure you have the capacity, also the gloves didn't seem to last very long before they were coming apart.
Would I buy another? Probably not. Did fit the limited budget though. Could not afford the larger cabinets from name brand suppliers and didn't have the room either.
Have considered taking the gun bit out and just getting a bin to use playsand outside on larger parts or perhaps making a floored tent and use it for plastic beads on the car to get the multi layers of poor paint off.
Best of luck on your search for one. The feel I got after having this one is that this is another area where you get what you pay for.
Cheers
