I had to replace some parts on my 10+ year old compact tractor. The salvageable parts were badly rusted, and this soda blaster did a great job cleaning them for reuse. A little frustrating in terms of how often you have to reload the hopper as well as having to push soda through the fine screen to get the right particle size but overall happy. Next task is to clean the internals of my suppressor.

I bought this after watching some videos on how it works. I needed something to get the small detail work stripped off a king size bed. If you need it for a very small job, then it would probably be okay. But you spend way too much time refilling the little hopper than it takes to empty it. I quit using it after 2 hours and decided to just paint the bed instead.If you're thinking about buying this, I recommend getting the model that draws the baking soda with a siphon.

The gun does not work well in releasing material you either get too much or not enough. Inconsistent to effective blast the material. Did not work for me trying to strip wood

I bought it to do small jobs and I can’t believe how well this thing actually works. It’s the right size for my 5hp garage compressor. You can find inexpensive abrasive grit at Harbor Freight. You can throw down a tarp and catch and reuse the grit, but be sure to run it through one of your wife’s sieves to filter out any oversize pieces of paint, rust, or whatever. Anything larger than the grit will plug the nozzle and you will cuss at your dog.

I purchased this gun to refinish several projects. The picture shown is the top of an antique piano stool base. Before this gun arrived, I had borrowed a similarly-styled gun - a SpeedBlaster by Zendesk Tool - from a friend. I used my friend's tool for most of the top and saved a small section to compare the Zendesk gun with this one. As you can see from the light colored area, the Zendesk tool stripped all of the finish off and took it right down to the wood. And, as you can see from the dark section, this gun barely removed anything. I'm using the same compressor at the same PSI with same baking soda media running through the same air lines. The only thing different is the gun. I have tried different PSI settings with this gun from 90 to 150 but to no effect. Another thing that I noticed is that this gun frequently would stop flowing the media and I would have to rigorously shake it to get the media to flow. I did not experience this with the borrowed gun. While I don't like to leave negative reviews, this soda blaster gun is going to have to go back.

I used this soda blaster to save me time and do a better job removing the old finish between the cross rails and the chair stiles. It did a great job, but it left the surface of the wood rougher than I'd expected with the feed dial at 50%...so I needed to finish sanding by hand, which was much easier once the finish was removed. Be aware that this soda blaster uses a LOT of baking soda and the gun reservoir empties quickly. For six chairs (just the inside surface of each stile) I went through 3 lbs. of baking soda filling the reservoir 2x per chair.

We tried this little soda blaster over the weekend and it's perfect for what I needed. I repurpose Breyer horses (plastic horse models) by stripping the paint off and doing custom painting. We did 5 models in total. Talk about fast! The most time is reloading the little blaster, as it doesn't hold a lot, but that's not a big deal. It can take me an hour to hand sand a classic size model, and I can't get into all the cracks and crevices. It took 5 minutes for a model with the soda blaster, and it gets it completely clean. Wow!!I used powdered sodium bicarbonate....we had a 50 lb bag on hand that we bought for another use, so we decided to try it. Worked great once we ran it through a sieve to get all the lumps out. Then we tried silica sand, which we also had on hand, and it was even better. I couldn't be more pleased with the time savings on this little unit.

This gun is well suited for very small projects and hobbies, but undersize for anything larger. I was using it to blast years of accumulated crud from the inside of a 20 year old Webber Genesis Grill that I was restoring, and would have to refill the hopper about every 2 minutes. It’s also limited to using very fine blasting media, which is consistent with its design and recommended use. It functions well - just don’t expected to be blasting any car frames.
