Air sand/media blasters: What's good?

[Skwerly]

I would like one of these. I don't want HF junk and I really don't want to spend $200. Obviously, a name brand is going to be better than China junk but I'm wondering if any of you specifically have experience with one you'd recommend.


Lead the way!


I'd like something in between this: Big ole 20 gallon


And this: Seems nice but could be better

The HF one really isn't bad, mostly it's a matter of hooking up a decent shopvac, and choosing the right media for the job.

I'm sure D-rek knows all there is about vacuums.
