What compressor do I need for this blaster?

It runs at 60 to 110 PSI, so you need a compressor that holds that pressure while blasting. Blasting consumes a lot of air, so a small pancake compressor will struggle; a larger tank and higher CFM output keep the flow steady.

What comes in the box?

The kit includes the 10-gallon tank, two ceramic nozzles and a 7.5 ft hose. Abrasive media is not included, so you buy sand or other media separately.

Can I use it for soda or glass bead media?

It is built around sand-type abrasive. Finer media like soda or glass bead can be run in pressurized tanks, but check that the media is dry and sized for the nozzle, or it will clog.

How does it compare with a siphon blaster?

A pressurized tank like this pushes abrasive more consistently than a siphon gun, which loses power as the hose fills. The trade-off is that you must refill and repressurize the tank more often.

Is it good for a full car frame or a large deck?

It works for spot work and small parts. For a whole frame or large surface, the 10-gallon tank means many refills; a larger tank or a blasting cabinet is more practical.

What can I strip with it?

Rust, paint, stains and scale on metal, plus light work on masonry and concrete. It is not meant for delicate surfaces or thin sheet that warps under pressure.
