What compressor do I need for this blaster?

It runs at 60 to 110 psi, so you need a compressor that sustains that pressure at the nozzle's air demand. A small pancake unit will not keep up; a larger tank with good CFM does.

What abrasive media can I use?

It is a suction-style pressure tank built for dry abrasive media such as sand, glass bead or aluminum oxide. Keep the media dry and screened so it flows through the hose.

How much area does a 20-gallon tank cover?

That depends on the media and pressure, but 20 gallons gives long runs between refills compared with small hopper blasters. Expect to refill more often on heavy rust removal.

Does it come with a nozzle and hood?

The kit is the tank, the 8 ft hose and the blasting setup as shipped. Check the box contents for the nozzle size and any protective gear before you start.

Can it strip paint from a car body?

Yes, at lower pressure with fine media it can strip paint and rust from panels. Test on a hidden area first, since too much pressure or coarse media can pit sheet metal.

Is it better than a blasting cabinet?

A cabinet contains the mess and recycles media, which suits small parts. This tank is better for large or immovable work like frames and panels where a cabinet will not fit.

Our take on the SKYSHALO 20 Gal. Portable Abrasive Blasting Tank

The SKYSHALO 20 Gal. Portable Abrasive Blasting Tank is a pressurized sandblaster that runs on shop air at 60 to 110 psi and holds 20 gallons of abrasive media. It comes with an 8 ft hose and is built for stripping rust, paint and stain from large flat areas, curved surfaces and gaps. It suits home shops and light contractor work where a cabinet is too small and a full pressure pot is overkill. Against smaller hopper-style blasters it holds more media and runs longer between refills, but it needs a real compressor and dry air to work well.
