We think the Texas Blaster is a pretty awesome tool, but don’t take our word for it. Here’s what you have to say, and some of your great projects!
Looks Brand New
Here’s the photo of my blaster. I know I’ve had it for 10-15 years. I bought it used, don’t remember what I paid for it. Thought it would like better if all the stickers were on it…. Finally got the stickers on. Unit looks brand new. There’s’ a little rust on the ring and eyebolt inside the funnel. Other than that it look new. Thanks again for the stickers.

Like A Dream
Thank you again for the information! I set the compressor to 50psi and played with the grit flow and had it working like a dream. The compressor was not too happy with me but I was able to get the job done and very happy with the result!

Serves Perfectly
Bought mine in 2014, or thereabouts. It has served me perfectly for cutting and carving limestone Fireplace mantles and other stoneworks. I hand make with small grinders the stonework and then sandblast them to give them an old world look and make 40 per year.

For the Dogs
When you told me to practice blasting before stating on my log cabin to ensure the media matched my desired result, I thought what better place to start than on the cabin for the dogs. Yes, my dogs have a log cabin, too. Thank you for all your help assisting me in getting my setup exactly to what I needed to complete my restoration job.
Third Unit
I just placed an order for a blaster. This is my 3rd texas blaster that I have purchased from your company. I purchased my 1st in 2006 I believe. I started a PC business in 2006 and have used your blasters since. My 1st blaster was beyond repair. It started developing holes in the welds. Pretty good value for 16 years of service. For the last 8 years we blast 5 to 6 days a week about 8 hours a day. I like your blasters because of ease of use and replacement parts are available through the local hardware store. When anyone asks me what blaster we use, I tell them texas blaster.

Used Unit
I have owned my blaster for a little over a year and a half after buying it as a used unit through an auction. I have worked on many projects with this for my powder coating side business and for many of my own personal uses including restoring a 1978 Dodge warlock pickup from ground up. Here is a picture, the truck is not finished yet it is still a work in progress. Will send more pictures as I work on the truck.

Taken for Granted
I have been using my blaster beginning 1990 . I restore antique tractors and have done many metal fab projects as a hobby. I’m 78 years old and still at it. Sun is shining today and went out to blast a farmall 706 seat assembly and my stopper failed. If it’s complicated it doesn’t work. Your blaster is so easy to use I take it for granted.

Bought a 2nd Unit
This is my 2nd unit I buy actually with you guys! 1st one was bought back in March 2019. I use this unit for pool work: bead blasting pool tile. We use a lot of: Maxxstrip, Glass Beads & Crushed Glass. Being so new to this type of work in the pool business, I honestly did not pay much attention to my unit or kept with the proper care for it. After years of use, I finally learned a lot of the mistakes I was committing & why my unit didn’t last too long. But I kept it a bit longer in use to practice on it to master some techniques. Now that I consider myself an “expert” , I came to buy a 2nd unit from y’all!
Loved the design, price, everything from my 1st one!!
Can’t wait to try out the new one with the off-road wheels! I appreciate everything y’all do & hope to shop with y’all for more new things to come!
Thank You 100%

A Great Tool
I never got a chance to get good pictures of the interior but the blast pot runs great, we added a vibrator to help media flow but otherwise now that we know how to run it is a smooth operation. When we were running glass beads the air moisture content was just unfortunately high and we were on a schedule so we blasted through. Switched over to medium grit crushed and most of our problems were solved. Running dual moisture traps helped but only so much you can do with 70% humidity. Just an idea but maybe recommend user to use a wrench when changing blast nozzles. Otherwise its been a great tool.

Very Profitable
Ive been very happy with my Texas Blaster it’s been very reliable and have been averaging 4 to 5 pool tile bead blasting jobs per week using #8 and #10 glass beads. Cleaning tile has been very profitable for me, and with the Texas Blaster being very reliable saves on maintenance cost, I’m looking to expand and purchase another blasting put in the future.

18 years of weekly usage blasting paint stripes off the highway. Too many bags of media cleaning too many miles of highway. Over the years there have been 1/8″ nozzles ordered but never a gasket. Guess you could say I got my moneys’ worth!

Up and Running
Here’s a few pictures of my used unit you got me up and running with. Seems to just dump media at the beginning and then I feel.like it should blast better, but I’m sure it’s just adjustments and I’ve never ran a pot blaster before. It was a mess inside as the previous owners left black beauty inside that must have gotten went and was like cement, took me 2 hours to get it all out and vacuum the inside clean. But it’s up and running now with your help!!!!

Exceptional Experience
Purchased your blaster a year ago and have used it almost every day to remove rust from heavy equipment to prep for paint. The machine works great, but your customer service is what truly makes this such an exceptional experience! I just stripped the paint off this 16′ jon boat in a few hours. I love it!

Ease of Use

“Building a Better Blaster” is Legitimate
I am very happy with the blaster and finally building another car for a customer and I am in the process of stripping it using your blaster and crushed glass and soda when appropriate.
I purchased a Texas blaster in May 2021 and have been able to use it to strip 5 frames, 5 vintage car bodies and many other smaller parts in the last year. Some non automotive relative items like iron gates and even some camping equipment to refinish from early beach salt damage. The unit has never missed a beat and has been more or less flawless in what I have asked it to do.
Keep it supplied with air and use properly stored quality media and it won’t let you down!
I am not just a hobbyist. I own and operate Iron Mike’s Garage in Rockville MD. We repair, restore and customize vehicles for customers. Some have been in their families for decades and have had multiple paint jobs and when it comes time to restore them we need to strip them down to the metal. The Texas Blaster saves me time, saves my customer money and allows us to get to the bottom of things to properly address metal issues and prepare for body work and paint.
I have been in business here since 2010 (12 years so far) and have used many other media blasters. Some in a cabinet and some in a booth or tent. Since I have had the Texas Blaster I haven’t even used any of the other media blasters I have. Most of them I sold off because of the down time those machines required. Cleaning out nozzles and dealing with the inability to get the air/media mix correct has plagued these other machines.
With that said The Texas Blaster is different. Its simple to operate and tune design is superior and maybe 1 or two times have I had a legitimate clog. I feel this was not actually a fault of the blaster but the area I live in and a secondary component. In Maryland the weather can be really humid and cause everything to stick together and the water separator starter to fail. Once I resolved that back to business as usual.
With that said I have used Natrium 300 and 260 Soda without issue. I have used crushed glass and even walnut without issue.
Another reason to acquire the Texas Blaster, aside from it is built right here in the good ol’ USA is the people who built it know it, use it, work it and stand behind it. Every question I have asked I was able to get a real answer and help.
The customer service is efficient, prompt and the best I have dealt with. Another reason going with the Texas Blaster is a good choice is supporting those who have worked hard to make a superior product deserve your business. Give it to them!
Anyone who wishes to ask me about the Texas Blaster can contact me directly at ironmikescustoms@gmail.com.
Thank you Jessica and Co. at Texas Blaster for making the Texas Blaster attainable and effective. Their slogan, “Building a Better Blaster” is legitimate!

Our Texas Blaster is working great on a very difficult restoration. The Texas Blaster has reduced our labor costs dramatically on removing approximately 7 layers of paint on a 100 year old church. The Texas Blaster is easy to use and maintain. Jessica has provided excellent customer service and technical support. We will definitely be adding more Texas Blasters.

Astounding
Texas Blaster has always had astounding customer service. Having ordered my unit years ago, I have spoken to both the previous owner, who was a true Texas character, and the current owner who clearly knows her product equally as well. Today when I called to refresh the CFM to nozzle ratio, I was once again renewed in my decision to order a Texas Blaster.

Everyone Needs a Texas Blaster
After several more phone calls about media to nozzles to compressors, I finally have the blasting technique worked out. And guess, what? Everyone needs to buy a Texas Blaster from Jessica. It does exactly what she said it will do. She has yet to steer me wrong. Here are the attachments to the previous sandblasted tractor. Thank you so much.

Awesome
Sandblasted and painted my tractor bucket. Took me a while to find media that worked best for my needs but your customer service helped every step of the way. What, ten phone calls and text messages you answered first on compressors then on media or something around that many. The Texas Blaster is awesome! Next I have a forklift attachment and box scrapper to sandblast with my Texas Blaster.

Accolades for the Texas Blaster
I first purchased the Texas Blaster 4-5 years ago. I’ve used it to blast my roadster frame and the entire underside of my ’54 Ford. I’ve also used it on hundreds of smaller car parts as well as stripping the deck boards on the deck of my house. Prior to the Texas Blaster, I used Harbor Freight units. No comparison! The Texas Blaster is a real blaster and it’s worked very well for me!
Thanks from a satisfied customer!

Great Recommendations
It’s very good, Jessica. Currently I’m using sand. Play sand to be exact. It’s cheap and does a quick job on these pieces of pine furniture that I didn’t spend a lot of money on. It is pretty rough though and I do end up wasting sand. At least I can just blast on the ground and not worry about it being wasted. I would definitely not want to waste the glass beads. Haven’t used those yet. I have used fine ground walnut shells it just rather expensive for what I’m doing right now. I switched sand products and I think this go around are a bit bigger and I have now clogged my blaster. It seems to be clogged in the hose or at the nozzle. I just replaced the blown out brass one with a stainless steel version and added the new sand and it is now clogged. Also, I have been wondering how to best determine when the blaster needs to be reloaded? I wish there was a gauge or “window” to see medium level.
Many thanks for your thoughts and input. Your information is REALLY helpful. Especially the medium recommendations and resources. I am up an running now with no issues!
Many thanks again!

Easy Going
Rough start but I’m getting better with time. I’m using the 40-70 (glass) medium …. and after you get the hang of it the technique it’s pretty easy going….except for the brutal heat. I cut the back off of the blast hood because it kept fogging up, so it’s basically a hat with a flap hanging in front of my face. Underneath I wear an N95 and some cheap anti-fog goggle I bought at Lowes. I get about 20 minutes of blasting before it starts to fog up. It coincides with the interval that I need to put on dry clothes. Did I mention that it’s hot? Anyway, thanks for all your help.

Exactly What I Needed
I will be upfront and honest with you. I have been researching ways of stripping these logs for 3 years. I was close to spending $4 to $5k on a Clemco or Similar blaster. And then I stumbled onto your website. The price was really appealing and then I got nervous that by me being thrifty, It might bite me in the butt for not spending more money. Finally I thought, lets take a chance and go with the Texas Blaster. And if gets the job done then it was money well spent. So I ordered it and was still skeptical when it showed up.
But I will tell you now. It did exactly what I needed and is still like brand new.
I do have a couple ideas that I will share with you that I will eventually try. And these are just personal preferences that I feel will work better for my situation. 1. I am going to add maybe another 1.5″ extension to the top rim so that when I am dumping a 50# bag of sand. It will not fill up and spill. 2. Re-weld the bead where the hopper is welded to the nipple. It has a slight crack from day one. No biggie. Just needs to be beefed up. 3. I think i might add an 1″ taller wheel just to give the fitting a little more clearance when on uneven ground. 4. Try filing off the sharp edge on the 2″ nipple so it doesn’t cut the rubber gasket so quickly. That is really the only issue that I ran across while using the blaster. The gasket had a slight tear from where the sharp edge finally cut into it.
These are just personal things i will try for myself. Not knocking your design. Just going to make it work better for me.
Overall! I will give it a 9.9 out of 10 rating. And the extra 20′ hose is a must when working on a cabin. Thanks for the recommendation.

Excellent Product
Just wanted to thank you for the super fast processing and shipping of my blaster. Ordere December 22 and received December 27. Amazing for being over Christmas. Thank you for the great customer service. I got it all put together in just a few minutes and is extremely well built. Attached are some pics of last weeks blast and coat projects. If I had known what I was missing I would have purchased a Texas Blaster years ago. This thing has made my job ten times easier and more efficient. No longer have to worry about sending customers to someone else for blasting. Thank you for the excellent product.
For this I used coal slag since it was all steel parts. I was sure to be careful with the grill due to it being so old and had been sitting out in the weather for several years. I am sure I will be using different types of media as my blasting business expands.

My Old Texas Blaster
Was looking at ordering a new Texas Blaster when I discovered my old Texas Blaster was still being built the same way today as it was then. Modifications have been made here and there along the way over the last 30 years. When my work demands change, my old Texas Blaster changes with me.
Pictures are worth their weight in gold and as you can see, my pot is not pretty but it works just like it did the day I got it. Guess the saying is true, if ain’t broke don’t fit it!

Blasting Weekly
Bought my blaster from you all in April 2019, just now in need of some gaskets for the stop to pressurize the tank. I blast with it multiple times a week on car parts, antique furniture, and various other items such as rod iron furniture or the metal chairs/gliders. I just use regular play sand to blast with and always 90+ psi. I’ve changed a few things on my blaster though to work more efficiently for what I do.

Hopefully Tuesday goes better (logs not blaster that gave us grief)…BUT…so stoked on Texas Blaster and after a day of trial and error and fine tuning the back and forth skills…I have HIGH hopes for the rest of the week….
HOLY SMOKES! I did rent the 185cfm tow behind compressor as you suggested and it proved to be a HUGE success. That was awesome info and way beyond the call of duty…AND…thank you! Now to get a home air compressor to use for around the house projects. So stoked still on Texas Blaster and plan on doing alot more with it. Thank you Jessica!

Years to Come
I’ve had this blaster for about 2 years after getting it from my uncle that had it about that long. He didn’t use it much but I run mine almost every day. I’m a powder coater in Las Vegas and I keep it working. 4 years in besides nozzles and ball valves, a gasket was the first thing to need replacing. Wish I could say that about some of my other equipment.
Looking forward to using this blaster for years to come. I put a long 3/16” venturi nozzle on it with a product called 10X and its very efficient even blasting powder off. Thanks for the help!

Afternoon. Thank you for your speedy customer service in response to my small gasket concern. In needing to use this tool everyday, I was worried about the down time to correct the issue.

Pots Work Well
I’ve been using your pots for a while now. I remember when I first got started doing this years ago, I had talked to an older guy several times and asked lots of questions. He was always very helpful! Can’t remember his name, but I know he was the “Blast Boss”. I stay pretty busy cleaning pool tile in Southern California using a few different types of media and your pots have worked very well for me.

Restoration Dream
The Texas Blaster is a hot rod restorer dream tool. Having placed it outside in a lean-to blast booth, being able to easily move the blaster unit is great.

Works as Stated
Afternoon. Thank you for your speedy customer service on replacing the the damaged hose. While I was managing with the 10 foot hose, the 20 extension made the job so much nicer. I followed your advice and an additional water filter to help with the moisture coming from the compressor. Worked like a charm and did not affect the media flow at all. Here are some pictures of my log cabin restoration.

Built to Last
You can find pressure pot sand blasters for cheaper, but Texas Blaster is the place to spend your hard earned money wisely. “Best blast for the buck” you might say! I’ve had mine for 2 years now and I smile every time I roll it out to use it. Everything from the super durable wheels, industrial style hose coupler and long lasting carbide blast nozzle is top notch and built to last. What are you waiting for?!!.. Get yours ordered today, you’ll thank me!

Great Customer Service
Thank you, thank you for all your help in getting my unit upgraded. I never expected to receive such outstanding customer service on a unit I bought used and in such a state disrepair. Just look at the state of the blaster before it was brought up to date with new parts, a working hose, and nozzle. Once I got the CFM tuned in, the blaster worked as if it were new!

Easily Modifiable
Wanted to let you know how I easily I modified my Texas Blaster Ultimate Unit. To reach those hard to get to places I simply added a length of black pipe between the Nozzle Holder Assembly and the Nozzle. This allowed me to clean my shipping container without having to climb a ladder. It was a cheap and easy fix that work well for me and I wanted to let you customers know so they can do it too.

Fun
Just finished final blasting. That was a steep learning curve, and fun. Tried coarse walnut, removed a lot of material, but left small pock marks. Went over that with fine walnut, and fine glass beads. Had no problem with clogging on 1/4 inch as compressor was a massive 137cfm. Definitely the way forward. The only clogging problem was when I recycled abrasive, larger chunks of wood, 1/4 inch or larger, would get stuck in nozzle. I attached nozzle holder assembly which allowed me to shut off nozzle unscrew it to get blockage cleared without having to go back to blaster and shut off at lower assembly. Made a simple screen, reused material 4 times during process after each screening the final screening left me 19lbs of fine walnut from a bag of 25lbs. Probably could easily get 20+ after a bit of refinement. Overall I was really pleased with the Blaster, worked really well once I got the hang of it. I am going to try fine sand next on one last tree root to see how that goes. Just need to finish working on these three first. I am ready to go for next project.

It’s Been Great!
I purchased a Texas Blaster from you in 2010. It’s been great! Originally I purchased your Texas Blaster to prepare a Fire Escape project for painting. But I’ve used it for rusty wheels and things of that sort.
It has been a great tool for me. I came up with an idea I’ve wanted to share with you ever since. I attached a light on my nozzle and it is fantastic! It is quite simple, a brass bar cut with ½” pipe thread both sides so you can fix a light on it and the sand doesn’t get to the wiring

Controlled Media
Just wanted to let you know after having used it for more than a year and half, I have been happy with my Texas Blaster. Typically I shoot the silicon carbide. From there I go to Starblast, aluminum oxide, or garnet, depending what I am engraving. I am happy to no longer have my Schmidt as I use less media with yours, have much more control, therefore, more speed and better engraving results and with the lighter hose sans a dead man, less fatigue.

Great Business Example
Texas Blaster,
Thank you for checking in with us and for the refund. I was going to leave you a message telling you thank you for the continued great service, but you beat me to it with your email. We have been up and running now for 4 years, and I have to tell you that Texas Blaster is one of the companies that we used to base our model on. We’re small, probably one of your smallest business customers, but we like what you do and how you do it. Thanks for the great product and service. Thank you also for being a great business example.

Texas Blaster was a big part of the total renovation of a historic Lord & Burnham (circa 1929) greenhouse. 90 years of paints were removed from the greenhouse steel framework and cast iron gutters with crushed glass.

Great Texas Company
We have been using Texas Blaster for 3 years to clean swimming pool mineral deposits from tile and water features. I have used other blasters in the past, but none performed like my Texas Blaster. I even once accidentally dropped my blaster in a swimming pool (mortal sin), and a simple call to them got me operational immediately. The construction of the blaster is phenomenal. A great Texas company with exceptional customer service.

Paid for Itself
My new Texas Blaster helped me knock out 5 jobs this weekend, close to 1000 pounds of media in 2 days. Thanks for the response and your help, I appreciate it. Awesome product well made, paid for itself many times over already.
Thanks again.

Simple Yet Robust
Howdy Texas!
We received our new Texas Blaster today at Shaw Classic Auto Works. We put the blaster to work immediately on a 1969 Mach1 Mustang we are restoring for a customer.
The thing is a beast! We love it!
Our old Chaina made tinker toy blaster is going out with the next load of scrap meatal which is leaving later today.
Thanks for such a robust and simple machine, we have lots of projects lined up for it.

Worth More than I Paid
This week I took delivery of a Texas Blaster at Dynamix Auto Repair in Lakewood New Jersy and when I assembled the unit and tested it the performance far surpassed my expectations.
It is quick, very very quick. I tried to have everything ready to include having a dedicated 1/2″ supply hose for the unit.
I would describe my skill level as advanced intermediate with an aggregate total time spent sand blasting of between eighty and 100 hours in preparation for welding and bodywork in my business.
The construction of the unit is excellent with first class materials used througout. I can now do in minutes jobs that formally required hours for me to do.

Fine Product
Hello,
Thank you for a fine product. I received my unit last week in good condition. Assembling the unit was straight forward. After a bit of trial and error regarding the sequencing of getting started and shutting it down, it worked beautifully. I’m very pleased! I did eliminate the shut offf valve (you said it was optional in the instructions) at the end of the hose, electing to have an empty hose every time I begin makes the operations much smoother. I perfer the simplicity and not having to remember evon one more step in the process. It likely and age thing. Ha Ha. So, once again, from start to finish, I appreciate the service; the prompt delivery and most of all the fine product you make.

Keep up the great work!

Provides Support
The blaster I purchased works great. The blaster lived up to everything I read about it before I purchased it. It’s nice to deal with a company that you can call and talk to someone that can answer your questions, knows the product and provides support. Good resource for newbies.
It’s great to see the “Made in America” label.
Thank You,

A Better Blaster
I tried the other, cheaper unit. You know, the red one from the box store. Worked ok, I guess. It just wasn’t holding up to my needs. The nozzles did’t last anytime at all and it was a pain to fill. I needed something better. So I started looking for an industrial unit. Whoa! Have you seen the price of those things? Then while reading reviews on the internet, I found the Texas Blaster. This thing is great. Real industrial hoses and nozzles. A real solid tool. This thing is a definitely a better blaster.

Does a Great Job
I can say for a fact, this little blaster does a great job.
Better blasting, less time, with less sand, it doesn’t clog often at all, and I do “NOT” have to replace nozzles every hour !!
Wonderful little blaster.
Thanks,
Richard Skinner
Awesome Machine
This past weekend I used the Texas Blaster I purchased several weeks ago. Awesome little machine. Why would anyone want anything bigger or smaller? You got money you want to throw away, get something else. You want to make your money work hard for you? Get a Texas Blaster. Used Bicarb first, it will do bicarb and then some. If it can do Bicarb it can do anything. Thanks for a great machine and a fabulout product.

Industrial Grade
Hello,
When we added your blaster to our blaster inventory – truthfully, I did not think that an industrial-grade blast machine could be bought for under a thousand dollars. Well, I have to tell you, I was wrong. Your blast machine will keep up with any of our bigger more expensive units all – day – long!
We are very happy sailors.
Thank you,
