Other 15 gallon portable sandblaster for $80 shipped!!

[OCD Solutions]

I just ordered one of these to try out. I don't need something too big as I typically only need small parts cleaned up plus space is always an issue.

I have seen these from $115 to $175 so $80 shipped is a no brainer.

Check them out on ebay.

I'm guessing it was too good of a deal as I just received this email;

Hello I will be refunding your order, we are currently out of stock on the item. Sorry for the inconvenience, ebay will be notifying you for the refund as well. Thank you

To which I responded;

Out of stock or you realized that somebody screwed up and discounted the price too much?

I'm still interested in getting one if you get more stock or figure out a proper price.

F'n Ebay! That BS happens to me all the time there..
My latest Ebay crap is I bought some brake pads for my MX bike from a business in Henderson, NV(150 miles) just so I can get them quick. Well it ends up they dont even stock them and are ordering them in , then shipping to me. Its been over a week and they arent shipping till today(supposedly). I started reading their neg feedback and they do that on a lot of items it looks like. Says nothing about it the add. Then when I message then, they say they sent me a ebay message about it after the purchase. BS, i got nothing! They are just making stuff up now and lying, trying to cover their ass. They are getting a big NEG! lol

Anways, that sux OCD!

A good review from Amazon:
Not too big. Not too small. I'm fairly happy with this for what it can do, but there are also some major shortcomings.

PROS: The gun works well. The gloves work well. It's very easy to use. It's very portable. The size is good for my needs. It uses a reasonable amount of air, 0.5 cfm at 90 psi, and will work pretty well at lower pressure. The 30 gal one from harbor freight needs 1.0 cfm at 90 psi.

CONS: The small filter immediately clogs up after a very short time with grit and dust. When this happens, pressure builds up inside and the top will start to bow up and lid seal will start to leak grit and dust all over the place. My solution for this was to take the crummy filter out and attach a 1 1/4" diameter small shop vac hose to where the filter was removed. The shop vac hose is directed into a 5-gallon bucket with an old towel laid over the top with a hole cut in the middle for the hose.This did the trick. No more dust and grit everywhere.
It comes with four nozzle inserts: medium large, large, extra large and jumbo. I'm going to have to look for some smaller nozzles.

After using it a while, the plexiglass lid is now almost opaque and you can barely see what you are doing. I'm going to try replacing the plexiglass with some 3/16" glass plate I have laying around and see how long that lasts.

OBSERVATIONS: Have a WET clean cloth handy to carefully clean the grit and dust off of the outside of the top. A dry cloth will seriously ruin the plexiglass lid. You will need to use this outside or figure out how to vent it to the outside as there is a lot of leaking grit and dust.

SUMMARY: If I had to do it again, I would probably get the 30-gallon Harbor Freight unit instead. It is slightly larger and has a fixed glass window instead of a plastic lid. The parts get loaded in from a side door.

Those cons are pretty standard on any of these cheap cabinets. The plexiglass is a wear item.

Using the peel and stick replacement lens protectors will extend the life of the plexiglass. Replace with real glass if possible.

Rip out the small filter and fit a shop vac to it. Not just the hose routed into a bucket, attach an actual shop vac to it.

I usually post neutral feedback when I discover that the seller is drop shipping items they do not stock. Even if my item shows up on time. Negative if there are any delays due to drop shipping.

I ordered an item last night from NJ and the receipt was in Japanese. I need the item before the weekend, otherwise I would have ordered it from Japan at a fraction of the cost. At least a certain amount of these guys have inventory state side and delivery times are reasonable.

Anyone else remember a time when you would never see overseas sellers on ebay? Now you have to filter them out for every search. I've tried to set my preferences to default to continental US only but I have yet to find the setting, if one even exists.

The one Quin posted has always been the runner up. It's a good size and a decent price.

This is the unit I have been waiting for but, I fear it's too small to be useful. It comes on sale a couple times a year.
