Yes me - waste of time and money compared to the 10 & 20 gallon gritblasters on ebay. They hold a fraction of the grit and are a pain to refill. The mixer needs to replaced frequently at a cost of about a fiver a time (Worn ones can be welded up a few times). The lid seal is expensive, ebay ones usea simple O-Ring. The only good thing is the nozzles, they are tungsten carbide instead of ceramic and they do last well. I use one of the ACE nozzles on my eBay machne.

I'm also interested if there is anybody out there who has used one as I have a couple of old tipper trailers to spray they look very small for doing big jobs I have never done any sand blasting and have no idea what to look for but don't fancy getting under the tipper trailer with a grinderbrush

Hello Scarecrow,

have a look at the second link of the above post. Compressors are the key to effective sand blasting. You might do better by getting a mobile sand blasting contractor if it is something you want only now and again.
