Good-

Drill press
Angle grinder
nail guns
1.5 hp pancake compressor (abused for years, works great)
heat gun

BAD

HVLP paint gun- got the one with a can to do some painting around the house and nothing sealed properly, splattered horribly and after about 5 min the gun wouldn't stop spraying and ended up with a large mess.

I've been debating getting the little sandblaster with the 50lb hopper.

I got the little sand blaster last weekend-
Works fine for what it is designed for. I wouldn't try to do a whole frame with it, but it is called a spot blaster- I'm happy with it so far. Should save me a trip when I need some small parts cleaned.
