My first cheap siphon blaster works as well as my new 20lb pressure blaster, so don't waste money on a "good" one. They are all fussy and will get plugged up if you don't pre-screen your dry #30 sand through a window screen.

x2. i like the 20gal pressurized pot from the farm supply store. compact easy to move and regulate. i think the gun hose is way too short on most of those style units particularly if you are doing a body or frame. i used hydraulic hose to lengthen the gun hose and made it easier to do larger projects without moving the thing all the time.

Have to mention it. Make sure your compressor is up to the task. Just "having a compressor" covers a lot of ground, and blasting takes a lot of cfm.

The ONLY one you need. Siphon blasters are, well, a pretty funny joke!
