Are these any good? I need to do 4 cycle frames and haven’t got the readies to spend on a big setup just yet

Basically, no.

Its a venturi action gun. Theyre pretty rubbish. The kink in the hose in the photo will render the device entirely useless too.

If you really want a venturi one, just get the same gun and shove it in a bucket of grit, for about 1/3 of the price. But it will still be rubbish.

(and, yes, i have one - that i never use, as its no good!)

Thanks for your reply

So effectively it’s one of these

Even if it did work its gonna make a hell of a mess and use up grit quickly

I was gonna do it in my small shed then hoover the media/mess up

A pregnant cabinet might be the solution

+1 for both these opinions
bought one, tried it, fell over it lots of times and it isn't here any longer

I have just had some bits done at Bedford Blast Services http://www.bedfordblastservices.co.uk/ (from a recommendation on here) they were reasonable on charges and did a good job, took the bits in late Thursday and were ready on Monday

just pick them up in something you don't mind getting dusty

a total rip off and not great. if you have to get a suction gun just get this and some pipe and a bucket and away you go without much loss if its not what you expected https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sand-Bla...844694?hash=item3b1276c796:g:uBIAAOSwGKRbMlfl
