Im not going to use it for anything serious. I just need to do a few small spots on a motorcycle frame. Im just skeptical because of how inexpensive it is. Usually deal like this end up being junk.

Thanks for your help

DONT DO IT!!!! my dad bought one just like it last fall and they suck! besides not blasting hard enough to do anything, you have to wear a long sleeve shirt, pants, gloves and a facemask to keep from getting hit by the material that rebounds off what your blasting ( it hurts like Hell! ) and you cant avoid it!
