Walmec 50316

Rating: 4.9

Walmec 50316

In the first place is the sandblasting gun from Walmec, which is made of metal and covered with rubber. This greatly improves the comfort of the hold. The gun is equipped with an abrasive tank located at the bottom. The air flow through the duct creates a vacuum and pulls the sand inward. The trigger is designed for two fingers. In order not to pinch the rest, there is a protruding stop on the handle. The tank is made of aluminum and is resistant to damage from drops. The gun weighs 920 g and consumes 500 liters of air per minute, so a powerful compressor is required for such a sandblasting model. To quickly free your hands, there is a hook on the back.

Reviews show that the gun cleans painted parts and rust quite efficiently, the metal remains completely clean, shiny and has no craters with corrosion. The nozzle with a diameter of 6 mm and an air flow rate of 500 l / min provides excellent performance (particles are ejected with great force), therefore we recommend this sandblaster for professional operation and cleaning of large surfaces of 3-5 m².

Advantages

  • shockproof housing;
  • long service life;
  • convenient to work due to its low weight;
  • 1000 ml abrasive tank.

disadvantages

  • a powerful compressor is required due to an air flow rate of 500 l / min;
  • sand sometimes gets into the shut-off mechanism of the air line;
  • not everywhere you can buy.

ABAC 756062

Rating: 4.8

ABAC 756062

In second place is a pistol similar in design from the ABAC brand. The sandblasting model is equipped with an aluminum reservoir that holds 1 liter of abrasive. The container is connected in one touch with a slight clockwise rotation. Unlike the previous gun, this sandblast needs less air (250 l / min versus 500 l / min), at an equal pressure of 8 atm. The empty tool weighs 590 g and is easy to manipulate when cleaning surfaces. In the reviews, the owners are pleased with the ease of operation of the sandblaster and the easy connection of the hose from the compressor to the handle. For this, the type of connection is rapid (Euro), therefore, it is not necessary to twist the union along the thread.

We considered the sandblasting gun the best in terms of “indestructibility”. The body of the sandblaster is made entirely of metal and has no plastic parts. The tool can withstand impacts, scratches and drops from a height of 1.2 m. If you need a robust and simple model, take a look at this one.

Advantages

  • the lower tank does not obstruct the operator's view;
  • loop for hanging the gun on the hook;
  • quick connection of the compressor hose using a rapid connection;
  • tank volume 1 l.

disadvantages

  • slips slightly in hands;
  • sloppy metal casting on the body.

Metabo SSP 1000

Rating: 4.7

Metabo SSP 1000

The German brand Metabo offers a sandblasting model SSP 1000 with a built-in bottom tank for abrasive. The gun has a metal body covered with paint. There is a loop at the top for hanging the tool on the hook. The device is equipped with a straight-through nozzle made of hardened steel, which extends the tool life. Removing the nozzle is easy thanks to the embossed tip. The inventory weighs 700 g. The air connection is 1/4 “in diameter. The device consumes 300 liters of air per minute. Reviews show that the sandblasting gun cleans well not only smooth parts, but also structures with corners and concave cavities.

Our experts have added the product to the list of the best due to its very convenient holding. Feedback users love the ergonomic shape that fits naturally in the hand. Another sandblasting model is distinguished by the presence of three fittings for organizing a quick-release connection. This is useful for interfacing with different compressors.

Advantages

  • hardened steel jet nozzle;
  • quick connection of the hose from the compressor;
  • the lower built-in tank does not obstruct the view;
  • well removes dirt in the corners.

disadvantages

  • although the passport requires a pressure of 7 atm, but in practice 11 atm is better;
  • the powder coating will wear off gradually.

Mighty Seven SX-3102

Rating: 4.6

Mighty Seven SX-3102

The sandblasting unit from the American brand Mighty Seven has a 700 ml bottom tank and a stainless steel tube through which fine particles are sucked. The pistol is made mostly of plastic and has an unfolded shape with an angle of 110º. This makes it easy to grip the instrument and does not require much wrist twisting when cleaning the surfaces above. Users in the reviews note a convenient pistol trigger, designed to be pressed with all fingers. This allows you to evenly distribute the load on the arm. The raised handle promotes a secure grip and is non-slip. The gun consumes 113 liters of air per minute. The nozzle diameter is 8 mm, but its performance is low, so it is better to use the product for cleaning lightly contaminated parts (clean from dirt, light rust, but the paint does not detach well).

This sandblasted model is one of the lightest in the category. The empty weight of the gun is only 350 g. This is achieved through the use of plastic parts. There is only a channel and a nozzle made of metal. If you need to work with a sandblaster at a height for a long time, then your hands will get tired less.

Advantages

  • the trigger is designed for all fingers;
  • can work for a long time without stopping;
  • interacts with weak compressors;
  • suitable for working with coarse abrasive fractions;
  • compact dimensions 250x210x190 mm.

disadvantages

  • high price;
  • weak cleansing power;
  • if dropped, it may crack.

Rock FORCE RF-HSB-II

Rating: 4.5

Rock FORCE RF-HSB-II

This sandblasting model is the “brainchild” of the Belarusian brand Rock FORCE, but is manufactured at a production facility in Taiwan. It was decided to make it almost entirely of plastic, which protects the body from corrosion. A container for storing abrasive material is located on top. Sand can be poured through the mouth in the back, equipped with a swivel cover. There is a flow regulator in front. The gun operates with a pressure of 5.9 atm, but this does not affect performance, since the nozzle diameter is narrowed here and is 5 mm. 250 liters of air are consumed per minute of the sandblasting process.

This model is one of the most resistant to overheating. Its body is equipped with multiple slots that increase the area for heat dissipation. The passage of air through the relief surface of the gun contributes to the removal of excess temperature, so the sandblaster can be operated for 6-8 hours without interruption.

Advantages

  • you do not need to carry a container with the material in your other hand;
  • resistant to overheating;
  • easy connection to the hose thanks to the rapid connection;
  • optimal combination of air flow and pressure.

disadvantages

  • can be broken if dropped;
  • heavy weight 2 kg;
  • large top tank obstructs operator's view.

Matrix 57328

Rating: 4.4

Matrix 57328

The experts gave the penultimate place to the gun for sandblasting from “Matrix”. The model does not have its own tank for abrasive, therefore it weighs only 1.2 kg, and its price is much more affordable than other competitors. The gun itself is made of metal and is resistant to damage. In a minute, it consumes 600 liters of air with a pressure of 8 atm. Case dimensions are 370x270x30 mm. In the reviews, buyers are satisfied with the high-quality cleaning, even if they use ordinary sifted sand from the quarry. The 6mm nozzle is difficult to hammer in and will last a long time due to its strong steel construction.

This gun is convenient for sandblasting for 8-12 hours, since the container is not attached to the body and the operator does not need to hold its weight constantly. Instead of a standard 700-1000 ml tank, you can use a 10-15 liter sand bucket. The product is optimal for sandblasting large volumes, for example, car bodies, because a minimum of stops are required to replenish the sand supply. But the short communication between the pistol and the container requires more effort when changing locations. Some masters advise replacing the standard hose with a regular oxygen hose, 2 m long, in order to at least slightly increase maneuverability.

Advantages

  • high-quality fittings included;
  • sucks sand well from a bucket through a hose;
  • durable metal nozzle;
  • it is difficult to clog the channel.

disadvantages

  • a powerful compressor is needed due to an air flow rate of 600 l / min;
  • limited maneuverability;
  • you have to carry a container of sand with you, since the standard fence hose is short.

Kraftool EXPERT QUALITAT 06583

Rating: 4.3

Kraftool EXPERT QUALITAT 06583

The review is completed by a pistol from the German company Kraftool, which is produced at a plant in China, which made it possible to reduce the price of the product. The model for sandblasting consumes 340 liters of air per minute. The inlet air port is 1/4 in. The hose from the compressor is fastened through a threaded connection. The textured surface of the handle increases the grip. To prevent the ring finger from being pinched by the trigger, the handle is equipped with a separator. You can hang the sandblasting tool by the loop on the hook, quickly freeing your hands. Bottom container with sand holds 1 liter of abrasive and does not block the operator's view. The pistol is resistant to fall damage as it has no plastic parts at all.

We left this pistol in the best category because of the nozzle. It is not straight here, but conical in shape. This configuration allows the grains to accelerate and curl, which increases the sandblasting force at the exit. Taking into account a nozzle diameter of 5 mm, an optimal ratio of air consumption (340 l), working material and productivity is obtained.

Advantages

  • there is a hole in the housing for hanging;
  • the embossed surface of the handle increases the grip reliability;
  • the ergonomic shape of the handle reduces fatigue;
  • lower reservoir does not obstruct operator's view.

disadvantages

  • threaded hose connection slows down the process of connecting to the compressor;
  • paint is gradually erased from the body;
  • kinking the hose can reduce the air supply.
