Sounded interesting until I read this review:

needs dry sand, so reuse'n the stuff you blasted isn't an option for quite some time..
also, how do you keep the "spray" from getting to your "dry" media ?

Maybe the ones that started this thread 4 years ago can post if they are still using it and if its worth the time and effort to purchase it.

I haven't touched mine since I tried...

easier to find and industrial metal or trailer shop in your area to blast things for you...

I'd give it a 4 out of 10 for effectiveness, of course i've sworn off blasting unless it's in a cabinet anyways!

I don't think people using this plan on reusing the sand:

1) Use pool filter sand, HD sells this for about $5 for a 50# bag. I do a lot of it out in the yard, it's good for the grass. Play sand won't cut it, too many rocks/crap. Since it's wet, no need to worry about free silica.

In one of the pics I saw, the guy had a bag over the sand bucket.

Wow suprised to see this thread again, after using this attachment to blast my chassis I would not suggest it for anyone. As is sometimes the case what might seem like a great idea to begin with turns out to be anything but. The flash rust is deffinently the problem for me, it rust as soon as you blast it.

you can see the blast results on my chassis on the first page of my build thread, I had to go back and blast it with dry sand before painting. here's a link to my build thread....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=258297
