LE LEMATEC Portable Sand Blaster Gun Pro Kit (Pistola de Arena) - Premium Rust & Paint Removal for Auto, Patio & Furniture Restoration - Ceramic Nozzle - Optimized for 90 PSI 4 CFM Compressors

I needed a soda blaster for small jobs/projects. There are several ways to go for this but I am glad I tried this one. The product does very well with running soda and has a built in trigger with a container for the material being sprayed. It runs well with my compressor at their suggested PSI setting. A giant plus for them is their customer support. I had some questions before purchase and they answered within one business day or less which is remarkable these days. Not just for items made overseas but anywhere. Just don't be fooled into thinking you are going to use this to blast a truck frame or any big jobs. It does a good job on small jobs and that is what it is for.

This blaster worked great and made short work of cleaning the paint off an electric train I was restoring.

After receiving a used/non-working unit the company was very responsive and shipped a functional replacement immediately—this was great. Product works as advertised, is very light and comfortable to use, and replacing nozzles is easy. I’d recommend taping and using a quick-release adapter on the inlet—not clear how well the threads will hold up (they were stripped bare on the first used unit). Lots of people commented that it chews through blaster medium, but it seemed like typical usage to me compared to a dedicated sand blaster :shrug: For anything but small projects you’ll be filling it a lot, which may be a blocker depending on your usage—but when you don’t want to pull around a dedicated unit or set up a siphon unit it’s super-convenient.

A great little device...and it works.

I got this sandblaster for my husband, as he rehabs vintage motorcycles and does a lot of other things, for which he often uses a blast cabinet, which usually requires some setup. He liked the ease of setting this handheld unit up; this sandblaster is not too heavy to hold in the hand, but also is sturdy and rugged enough to do the heavy job it's required to do. And he liked how much easier it would be to do small jobs and things that can't be put into the blast cabinet. He found, though, right off, that the coupler that comes with the kit is too large for what is normally used to hook it up to the compressor that he uses (1/2 horse, 100 psi compressor); he had to use one of his own couplers (see photos). These were some of his observations: "In my experimenting with this unit, I used aluminum oxide grit to remove rust and old paint off of old stove parts (see photo). It required 2-1/2 tank fillings to clean one square foot of flat steel surface. For large jobs, repeated fillings is a problem; plus effectiveness of blast drops off at about 60psi, which happens quite soon if using a 1/2 horse, 100 psi compressor. My larger shop compressor at 150 psi worked perfectly. Constant shaking of the unit to maintain flow can be annoying, and finding the sweet trigger spot to allow blasting and not just air is an issue that goes with the shaking. It can be used in a cabinet, but then the constant refilling becomes annoyingly inconvenient, a situation that does not occur with a cabinet because grit is automatically recycled. In conclusion, I found the unit works well for impromptu small jobs where set up is time consuming. I would recommend that the tank be redesigned to allow better gravity feeding of the grit."

Great little unit for the price. Used it to clean a few small parts on a car restoration that were proving difficult to sand by hand before paint. Have used it on a verity of different parts now mostly because it’s way more convenient and quicker to use this rather then trying to sand them by hand. I’m sure it would work fine on a larger scale job but would obviously take a long time. It’s perfect for the smaller jobs. Update! I just rd painted the front doors to my house that have some complicated trim pieces all over it. Sanding the flat surfaces by hand is obviously easy but I did not want to spend hours getting into the nooks and crannies sanding by hand. Used this to do it instead. A few hours job turned into the whole door being ready in about 30 minutes.

This thing is way better than expected. I ran play sand like you shouldn’t and ran it off a small pancake compressor. Also like you shouldn’t. I sifted the sand with a window screen and it worked great. Had to stop a few times here and there for the compressor to build back up but it works great. Way better than the cabinet blaster I use at work. This seems to be more consistent with the delivery.

Good

Merits: This is portable blaster. Serves the purpose to blast a small or spot touch ups. Demerits: very expensive and no details provided to procure the consumables like ceramic nozzles etc.

I am by no means a professional sandblaster however for small jobs on automotive work this is a great little unit. I've used it several times and had great success with it. Would highly recommend

Works well thanks

Excellent little tool, used for walnut blasting and did the job, but needed to be on max, ordered the extended nozzle as inlet intake blasting on car.

Bon achat
