Well since you asked. I have several. The most powerfull is like the gravity air powered thing but it uses my pressure washer instead of air. One advantage is with water there is no dust from the sand for our lungs!Northern hydrolics, about $80 plus the pressure washer. It will remove lotts of everything real fast! the small air powered units might be the thing for seam rust. I also have a old fashioned spark plug cleaner. The problem with sand blasting is getting it all out of everywhere before painting. Ever tried removing sand from the carpet of your vanagon or car after a trip to the beach? I'm too far from a beach to take my dear old vanagon but my 99.5 jetta tdi has sand in it from last June.
