Anyone have or tried one of the sandblasting pots from Harbor Freight? They have their 40 pounder on sale. Useable or garbage? Need to blast and repaint my utility trailer and other odds & ends around the house.

I bought one. I have a really good compressor, and thought it was mediocre at best.

I think my compressor is 7.5 GPM and 175psi

I've never used one the the HF ones, but the one from Wal-Mart Campbell-Hausfield, I think is a pretty decent one. I think it is about 25 bucks.

A trailer would be slow going. They are meant for small jobs and just blast an area about the size of a dime if you hold it in one spot.

The last time I had something the size of a trailer, I went to a commercial fab yard and made a deal to drag my stuff down when they were already doing something else.

The guy just walked over and blasted the shit out of the stuff in about 2 minutes.

I held up a $20, he took it, nodded his head and went back to the structure he was blasting.

I'd take it out to be blasted. I have a biggerblaster and it is good for rims, guns, etc. but if I want say a truck frame done, I run it into town the guy does it for $50 and all is good. For the most part, blasting sucks.
