And here i have been using a anglegrinder with a brush for 2 years to remove rust. My stepdad told me not to buy a sanblaster, because the sand had such a hard pressure it would destroy everything around the house. But here this guy is doing it, inside. Will buy.

[@ChefofWar33]

Anglegrinder method is very crude. Can't get into any details, and takes huge effort.

[@x-man5056]

They work great but they make hellacious mess. Word of caution: while using a similar blaster with even a hood on, I managed to get a glass bead in my eye. It got in there while removing my safety gear. That tiny glass bead felt like a chunk of pea gravel in my eye. It happened on a Friday evening. Couldn't wash it out myself so went to emergency room. They couldn't find it so gave me pain med to numb my eye. It was a long 2 days before I could get into eye surgeon who was able to locate the glass bead and remove it with out much problem. Everyone using this should be wearing a hood, safety glasses and mask. but very important, before taking any of it off, use blow gun to remove particles stuck to outside of your safety gear BEFORE you remove it. Nuff said.

You warn people, but they wont listen.

[@rickilynnwolfe8357]

Great tip to know much thanks I was thinking I could do this on my side panel on my 63' chevy nova boy was I wrong .I truely didn't know how to sand blast till and all the precosions along with it but after watching and reading your words I learned so much there's a lot more to it then I ever could have imagined..thanks bud I won't be doing this God bless 🙏

[@johnmilner7603]

Cletus Clem you can't teach stupid.

[@MrCoffeypaul]

Did you tell the eye surgeon to get off his ass too?

[@zachmedeiros4163]

Man I can’t even tell you how happy it makes me feel to know I can do this myself! I’ve been in the process of restoring a trailer for my Jon Boat after I’ve already busted ass to get the boat looking nice. I was starting to think I was going to have to shell out money to somebody to blast the trailer but a brand new harbor freight just opened up in town and I know where I’ll be going very soon! Thanks again and the commentary was hilarious. Gotta love that elbow grease!

[@matthewstorm5188]

On the other hand, this video kind of sends the message that having the proper tools trumps elbow grease. I mean, compared to media blasting, wire wheels and sand paper are slower, more labor intensive, and will NEVER do as good of a job.

[@blackbiker1961]

Great channel every time I watch I learn something new.

[@rob12449]

that was an excellent demonstration of blasting with a simple gun! I'm taking the plunge and want to see if it can clean up weld slag, I expect it will clean up flux core residue but not so sure about stick with the thick hard slag. sometimes you just have to try things for yourself.

[@jamesmccansh3168]

You got my sub, also, at the end of the video when you blew yourself off, for a second, I thought you still had the sandblaster hooked up. I thought "dang, my generation's not made of that" Cheers.

[@MrCaribe65]

3:32 to about 3:50. Truer words have never been spoken. Thumbs up, old man 👍.

[@st.michaelthearchangel7774]

Haha. Yes.

[@deankay4434]

Pete, that was a great reminder to use dry air. They will need a device to keep moisture out of the air before painting. Also, as you have said, use a dedicated 50 foot hose for painting as compressor oil and moisture gets inside the rubber of the hose. Still learning and remembering what lesions that Pete teaches. Thanks for the information. That is why I but a tee shirt as I can afford it, to pay it forward! Thanks Pete!

[@joeclare845]

Pete is so funny and really after a hard day at work seeing him just makes learning so much fun, easy and sometimes hilarious! Great videos, Thanks Pete!

[@alborgdenmark26]

Great pitch....very conservative and old fashioned. You should run for office. Bless you!

[@alborgdenmark26]

50 Lbs. of Playsand at Lowes for $4.68. Seems fine enough/a little sifting maybe.

[@sats7819]

Love it Pete. I've been following you for years. I owned a soda blast firm in the uk and boy was it facinating.

[@boobalew]

Thanks, Pete! I'm going to pick one of those up at the HF Store on my next trip!

[@JamesCarter-ii4up]

Damn Pete... you went and did it again... I'm sold on the little Sand Blaster.....Crazy I was just complaining about the sandblaster of mine being to Big on Smaller Jobs and Hard to get places ...thank you for being there... thank you

[@luduin77]

Merry Christmas Pete and thank you very much for all your help and tips

[@sinformant]

Merry Christmas to you and Minnie!

[@shaunscott81]

Thanks Pete! I'm teaching myself how to restore my Grandfather's 72 chevy caprice and I want to do as much as I can without a shop. I appreciate you greatly and I'm heading out to buy sand blasters to remove a bunch of sand blasting tools.

[@waygone6657]

Good job on the video and demo. Exactly what I needed to know about autobody spot sandblasting. Thanks :-)

[@kellys.5325]

I am super stoked to try this. Going to Harbor freight tomorrow to pick one up. We have a 379 Pete that I am going to strip the frame of rust and repaint. I love a happy ending! Thank you

[@jumpinjojo]

Nice job! That little spot blaster works pretty well.

[@guillermonieri4203]

Great suggestion. I bought one from WalMart, and does work but it is cumberson to set up & use; the Harbor Freight unit does a better job. I particularly like the downdraft hopper. Thank you.

[@jaycole4691]

These videos are cool and informative. Thanks for putting them out there

[@peteloomis8456]

These very same blasters also work good to soda blast using sodium carbonate, just used mine to soda blast some old vintage motorcycle carburetors & they look new again & work great considering they were left with water & gasoline in them since 1988 . If you go to a feed mill you can get 50lb bags of it much cheaper than Harbor freights 39.99 for a 50lb bag, I paid 16.00 at my local feed mill.

[@bruces12]

I've always wondered how well these things worked. Thanks for the video/tutorial...sub'd and liked!!

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

That was really cool. I could have use that on my 6" snow blower rims I just repainted. Nice little tool. thanks for sharing.

[@ziggassedup]

It does a great job...Might have to look into one of those over here.

[@jamespinckard4210]

Thanks for the video Pete. Sometimes it's the little things that seem to be the best information. I'm restoring a '65 GMC truck and it needs a good bit of blasting. I'm going to get one of these and try it out. Thanks again.

[@MrCaribe65]

That tool is for spot blasting only. I wouldn't do an entire frame with it. It worked well with the lower portion of my radiator support in a car project im working on.

[@gsxrstyle]

Great video man I never knew what this gun was even though I've seen it so many times in harbor freight..you just solved a huge dilemma for me with my Harley wheels project lol and gained a new subscriber thanks man

I do have a Harbor Freight sand blaster the mini tank one, but that hand held one I will get, I just started a 66 Chevelle and it does have surface rust that I will have to blast, I have been on you tube looking for some what quick solution's to blasting I have to do the fenders and doors just lie you are doing here in this video, and as well as the interior panels to combat the surface rust and this looks like a great solution, I have sand blasted before and it does require a 30 to 60 gal. compressor of which I have, and also a lot of patience, but as you show it is worth all the time, now I just have to figure out how to do the underside of the body, thanks for the video, it helps a lot.

Great diy video!

[@sammocat]

Thanks my friend Pete. Also available at HF are great big bags of soda which works well and cleans up easily. Do your blasting outside then wash away with the garden hose. It will not kill the grass & flowers. Much nicer to wash the soda out of your hair, clothes and all the places the media ends up than sand. A cardboard box and a trash bag makes an easy "cabinet" for containing some of the mess and reclaims a little too.

[@diyautoschool]

Thanks for the Tech Tips.. Didn't know HF sold soda too.. Ill have to check it out and do a video on it.... Take it easy!
