Unmatched Performance and Versatility
The Dual-Feed Sandblaster offers exceptional performance, operating at a powerful 150 PSI. This means you can tackle various tasks effortlessly, whether you're removing rust from metal surfaces or preparing wood for painting. Because it features a ceramic tip, users enjoy durability and precision, enabling them to achieve professional results with ease. This tool is perfect for both hobbyists and professionals alike, making it a valuable addition to any toolkit.
Innovative Design for Optimal Efficiency
The unique dual-feed design of this sandblaster allows you to efficiently switch between different media types. This flexibility makes it ideal for users who need a tool that adapts to various projects. Additionally, the 18oz hopper size offers ample capacity, reducing the need for frequent refills. Therefore, you can work continuously and stay focused on the task at hand, achieving faster completion times.
Easy to Use and Maintain
Designed with user-friendliness in mind, the Dual-Feed Sandblaster kit is easy to set up and operate. Its ergonomic handle ensures comfort during prolonged use, which is especially important in larger projects. Moreover, maintenance is minimal, allowing you to spend more time sandblasting and less time on upkeep. Therefore, this tool becomes not only an efficient solution for your needs but also a user-friendly experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between siphon feed and gravity feed sandblasting?
A: Gravity feed drops media from the hopper above into the air stream — ideal for small, detailed work with less media waste. Siphon feed pulls media through a hose from a separate container — better for larger jobs with more media capacity. The AS118-2 offers both options.
Q: What compressor do I need for the AS118-2?
A: You need a compressor delivering at least 4 CFM at 90 PSI for basic operation. For continuous heavy-duty use at full 150 PSI, a compressor providing 12+ CFM is recommended. A 3-5 HP compressor with 20+ gallon tank works well.
Q: Can I use soda blasting media with this sandblaster?
A: Yes, the AS118-2 works with baking soda media in gravity feed mode. Soda blasting is excellent for paint removal on delicate surfaces like fiberglass, chrome, and aluminum where you want to clean without etching or warping the substrate.
Why Professionals Choose This Tool
- Dual-Feed System: Switch between gravity hopper for small jobs and siphon tube for bulk media containers — maximum versatility
- 150 PSI Operating Range: Higher pressure capability for aggressive material removal on heavily rusted or coated surfaces
- 18oz Hopper: Large capacity reduces refill frequency during extended blasting sessions
- Professional Ceramic Tip: Hardened ceramic nozzle resists abrasive wear far longer than standard steel tips
- Complete Kit: Everything needed to start blasting immediately — gun, hopper, siphon, tip, glasses, and connector

Ideal Applications: versatile sandblasting, large job rust removal, dual-feed operation, surface preparation, industrial cleaning, auto body stripping
What makes the dual-feed system better?
The dual-feed design lets you use the 18oz gravity hopper for small, quick jobs (spot rust, touch-ups) and switch to the siphon tube for large jobs where you dip into a 5-gallon bucket of media. One tool handles both scenarios instead of needing separate guns.
How does this compare to a blast cabinet?
Handheld sandblasters are portable — you take the tool to the workpiece. Blast cabinets contain the media and dust, making them cleaner but limited to small parts. Use the AS118-2 for large items, on-site work, and anything that does not fit in a cabinet.

Quick Setup Guide
The AS118-2 offers two media feed options. For gravity feed, fill the top hopper directly. For siphon feed, attach the siphon tube to the bottom port and place the other end in your media container. Connect to your compressor at 90-150 PSI (minimum 7 CFM). Adjust the media flow control valve — start with a quarter turn open and increase until you achieve the desired blasting intensity. Use the ceramic nozzle tip for extended life with abrasive media. Swap between gravity and siphon modes depending on your media volume needs.
