I am looking for a little sand blaster that is cheap and easy to use. Just looking to clean up a few little things like valve covers etc. Any recommendations?
How are these on eBay?

They work OK....for a while...........as long as you have enough compressor to run it.
Like Poncho said....they work good for a while. The small blasters are not robust enough to do a very large piece.....The one on Ebay is not worth 99 cents.
Get one with a ceramic tip because it lasts longer.
If you are in a humid area, you need dry air or else the
sand will clog and not siphon very well
See TP Tools web site for blasting stuff

Poncho's comment about compressor size is important....too little
pressure means you will just bounce the media off of the part.

thx guys, I got a big compressor. good point about the ceramic tip. I ll shop around some more...
Just picked up a really handy little one off the Matco truck for $50.00, works great. Also have an old Snap-on that does a good job, just needs a good cleanout and a new tip.
