LE LEMATEC Sand Blaster Gun Kit for Air Compressor Rust Removal

I took a chance and ordered this product despite some of the reviews claiming it did not perform well. I ordered the model with the siphon tube and also ordered a small bucket of grit recommended for my type of project (blasting rust off difficult to sand spots on a stainless steel pizza oven). I’m not a contractor, but I am pretty handy since I grew up in a family of skilled trades. Trust me when I say this product is super easy to use with a little to know experience. It is true that the instructions it comes with are complete junk, however you can easily find instructional videos on YouTube. The QR code for the instructional video on their box did not work 🙄. Of course I would not use this for a large scale project, but for small detailed blasting, it worked perfectly and got the job done. I cannot recommend it enough.

This is a great, affordable and well-designed product for small projects, like the refreshing of my bench vise. I've owned other sandblasters in the past, so I knew that the "suction" aspect of this unit would, at best, work marginally. Not a fault of this unit, it's just that blaster suction hoses immediately create an air cavity and a void and don't work well. If you have a big project, get a pressurized sandblaster that feeds from the bottom. So, knowing that, I used a coal-slag medium to do my blasting, reloading the reservior about five times to finish the vise. Keep the gun level (move the piece so you can do that) and you'll be fine. Also...for a good job: Heed the PSI specs. My two-tank Ingersoll-Rand has trouble maintaining 90 PSI, but it got the job done. Also, don't even think about using this or any media blaster without a moisture remover installed in the line. I installed mine at the compressor, so all the air in the hose was dry. If you don't do this, your media will likely clog at the nozzle. High ratings for this one. Now go have fun in the garage!

Works great ! Very satisfied !

This sand blaster works great! I was surprised to see how easily and well it works. I was also surprised as how much blasting material it went through for a small job. Be ready for the blasting material to be EVERYWHERE! I used it inside my home to blast a part that could not be removed. Be ready for the blasting material to be everywhere in the room. It took more time to clean up afterwards than it did to do the job. That being said, it does a very good job. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone needing to clean parts that are too difficult to get at with any other method.

This 'sand blaster' did not perform nearly as well as I had hoped, and I didn't have high expectations. It does work, shoots the media, filtered play sand in this example, but lacks the power to cut through much paint or rust. It's not total junk. It's just weak. The plastic handle and frame feels like a toy. But it will shoot some media and might gradually remove a bit of material if you are persistent and patient.

Wanted to clean rust and original paint off the back of a piece of my 56 Panel truck where I couldn't get stripping pad. Panel was too large to fit in my table top blast cabinet. First this thing is almost all plastic, came with only one nozzle, not two, no other accessories. Came with a card saying if I went to the manufacturers website I would receive a free inline filter tho. when I did that it said filter was no longer available even tho they would sell me one! Extra nozzles were 14.00! Bought crushed glass blast media which is excellent for paint removal and available in small amount at my local big box discount tool store to test blaster, filled hopper 3/4 full. cranked up pressure on my large stationary compressor to 150#. First when I opened the hopper feed, media started freely pouring out nozzle. But when I pulled the trigger so little media came out I couldn't even see the stream. I started on an area of old primer only. I blasted the area for > 10 minutes to remove an area about the size of a nickle down to metal. At that rate it would take MONTHS to blast the whole panel! Checking the hopper it was near empty! The small cheap blasting gun in my table top blast cabinet does a far better and faster job. Conclusion: This is an expensive toy not a real tool that wastes pricey media without doing any real work. Don't waste your money. It's being returned immediately.

I am loving this sandblaster! I will most likely use this as gravity fed because the vast majority of my projects will be smaller DIY work, but the great part is that if I am doing any body work or any large piece that will require more I can use the siphon feed as well!!! Having that kind of versatility in one package is really what someone like me needs. I have limited space in my garage workshop and I can't afford to have multiple tools that are providing a similar function. The durability of this seems very very well made. I haven't used it for a long time because this is a recent purchase but I will update this IF it breaks in an amount of time that I feel like is unreasonable. This comes with a risk-free, no questions asked, money back guarantee. That's something that certainly makes me comfortable. They are willing to stand behind their product and the positive reviews show this. I would highly recommend picking this up and I hope they continue to make products because I would love more fun toys to play with in the shop!

I finally got around to trying this out, and it's easier than I ever thought. I'm just using "play sand" ($6/50lb.) that I've filtered through some screening, to remove stuff that's too big for the tool. It won't strip the paint off your house, but it will take the rust off of old tools, and clean old, dried carpet adhesive off a forgotten trowel. I'm sure I'll find a thousand uses. I'll be building a blasting box for using more expensive media, and this will live in the corner of my shop where it's handy.

Parfait, fait très bien son travail

Really not suitable for removing paint from wheels. I tried to strip one mini light wheel and went through 13 kgs of media with very little effect. Not recommended for anything other than small projects.

Excelente para aplicaciones pequeñas, no es muy útil para piezas grandes, el sifón no es muy funcional.

J'ai utilisé ce pistolet pour enlever de la rouille sur mon véhicule et il a parfaitement fait le travail. Je n'ai pas utilisé le réservoir supérieur mais plutôt, plongé l'embout du boyau direct dans le sac de sable. Mais vous devez avoir un compresseur avec un bon réservoir!

tres bonne sableuse.
