Portable Abrasive Blaster Kit

As others have noted ... you should probably get good measurements on the hose and a source for a quality replacement ... just in case.

Also ... dry air is a must.

Good luck with your new tool.

Thanks, but with the coupon if it doesn't work I'm only out about 23 bucks.

My biggest problem might be the "dry air"... pretty humid here in South Carolina..

If I had moisture in my shop air supply (which I don't), instead of a dessicant dryer, I'd get a refrigerated in line dryer (which I have). I have an Ingersol Rand but HF offers one as well. Not sure about the quality or the delivery rate however. My IR works very well. The HF unit is about half the price of a comparable IR.

Yeah, the HF one is $399... not an option...

Or simply run your air in black pipe and make a trap with a drain.

Yeah the air is just going to go from my big compressor to my little blaster
