5 best sandblasting guns

This sandblasting gun can be called the best choice for a home craftsman or a small workshop. It does not have high technical characteristics, and it will not work to process large surfaces with it. But it is as compact and convenient as possible, except for the upper location of the tube for supplying the abrasive. From the point of view of engineering and physics, this arrangement allows you to increase the power of the gun by reducing air consumption, but in practice, this is not very convenient, and you will have to get used to this arrangement.

But to work with it, you will need a small compressor capable of delivering from 2 to 5 atmospheres and an air flow of only 150 liters. This is the best indicator of consumption, which is why this product was classified as household. With it, you can easily clean small parts, and you do not need to buy a new powerful compressor. In addition, the price will please, one of the best on the market. Yes, the brand is not the most famous, but judging by the reviews, the gun is of quite acceptable quality.

Sandblasting gun designed for power blasting large surfaces. The diameter of the nozzle here is a quarter of an inch, and the removable spout is 7 centimeters long. Crawling into a hard-to-reach place with such a gun will not work, although it is light and works without a container, that is, the abrasive material is supplied through a special hose supplied in the kit.

The air consumption of this unit is 600 milliliters, and this is quite a lot, although the operating pressure prescribed in the instructions is from 5 atmospheres, which is very small for such an apparatus and raises some doubts about the veracity of these data.Be that as it may, to work with such a gun you will need a compressor with a large receiver capable of providing a constant flow of air in the required size. Separately, it is necessary to mention the design of the pistol. The form factor is very convenient, even despite the short nozzle and the presence of a tube through which sand is supplied. Not the most important achievement of Chinese engineers, which also has the right to exist.

Sandblasting gun without container, the main advantage of which is the best price on the market. Only 500 rubles for a reliable tool, awarded a lot of positive reviews. The abrasive in this case is fed through the tube, which is already included in the kit. It must be immersed in any container with sand and connect the gun to the compressor.

The amount of air consumed is 250 liters, and the operating pressure ranges from 6 to 8 atmospheres. Optimum performance for processing even large surfaces. It is worth noting that this gun is for large surfaces. The diameter of its nozzle is a quarter of an inch, and the length of the detachable spout is 20 centimeters. Thanks to this design, the gun can work in the most inaccessible places, and as practice shows, the design without a tank is much more convenient to use, since it does not need to be constantly filled with abrasive or sand.

Engineer Sorokin has long been a popular Russian brand that produces the best equipment for various purposes. Before us is a sandblasting gun connected to a compressor.Unlike most similar models, the abrasive tank is located on top here. As practice and experience of real users shows, working with such a tool is more convenient and easier. The capacity of the tank is 0.9 liters, that is, more than a kilogram of sand.

The device consumes from 150 to 300 liters of air, and the operating pressure is from 6 to 8 atmospheres. Spraying is done through a very thin nozzle, which tells us that the product is designed for fine work and processing small parts. It will be problematic to clean a large plane with it, and the need to constantly fill the tank with sand will complicate the task somewhat. Simply put, this is the best tool for a home craftsman or a small workshop, even despite the relatively high cost.

Before us is a sandblasting gun with its own capacity. The container volume is only 0.5 kilograms, and this is a significant disadvantage of this device, since during intensive work it will have to be filled very often, which is not very convenient. This unit is made according to the scheme of a conventional spray gun, that is, air is supplied to the nozzle under pressure, and when the lever is pressed, it is redirected to a container, from where it lifts the abrasive and releases it through the nozzle.

To work with such a sandblast, a compressor is required, and quite powerful. Working pressure is 7 atmospheres. If the pressure drop in the receiver is less than this value, no processing will take place. Separately, it is necessary to say about the quality of the product. Judging by the reviews and the impeccable reputation of the manufacturer, the gun works unquestioningly and does not require repair for a long time.The kit already comes with the necessary sets of gaskets, so if something fails, then you can replace the part with your own hands, without searching for it in stores and sending it to a service center.
