    I got a gun and hose from TP a few years ago and love it. I believe it was around $65.

    I bought a Barrel Blaster unit. Made in Texas and the quality is good and the was price reasonable. You might try contacting them about just a gun.

    I have been looking at the skat blast cabinets. Can you explain what sucks about them before I buy one?

    I like to see that explanation as well. I saved for a year and bought a TP last fall. I have owned a couple of cheap ones in the past and I'm very happy with the Skat/TP cabinet.

    I always get a kick out of people who tell me that a tool I have that works flawlessly is no good.

    Yup. I have a Trinco DryBlast 36. Rock solid. They can be found used.
     
  12. Wonder what problems he has had with scat/tip; I've had nothing but good luck with their cabinet guns and other parts.
     
  13. I also have used TIP ? Skat Blast cabinets for over 30 years and I can tell you mine gets a good work out. I run all types of media thru mine and do recommend that you use the tungsten / carbide tip. I usually get 3-4 years out of my tip .

  14. My Skat Blast cabinet is one of the finest pieces of equipment we own. It gets used 16-20 hours a week. We have had it for 5 years and other than a few new tips, had no problems. I’m curious as to why “they suck”.

    I also have owned a Scat Blast cabinet/vac for many years and am very satisfied with all their equipment. Newbee johnfin should explain "they suck".

    I've had a Skatblast cabinet for over a decade now and I think mine works great. Yes, TP does charge a lot for shipping, but so does every other vendor. I take a 6 pound box to UPS myself and it costs $20 to ship it across the country. It's probably not TP's fault.
