Problems:
1) I have an air compressor, it's the small donut type and it serves all my construction needs very well. I use the shyte out of it for my various nail guns. DOWNSIDE, it can't even provide enough volume to run my air impact wrench.
2) I don't want a big tank compressor hogging up space in my garage or burning up my budget.
3) I want a media blaster that holds a lot of media for infrequent refills, but again, I want something that's small and inexpensive. I'm not starting a freaking powdercoating business here or anything.
4) I'm not made of money like you working folks.
