I love tools of most any sort. I'm not really sure what to do with
this page just yet. I might show pictures and descriptions of my
favorite tools.

TiP pressure sandblaster
7/30/98 I spent some time in the last day or two beginning to get my
old sandblaster in shape. This is really the old one. It has the screw
in tank closure instead of the later pressure seal. I have one of the
pressure seal units as well, but that's still in PA. A friend gave me
this unit. Some had left it full of silicone carbide which appears to
have soaked up a lot of moisture. It's really caked in the tank. I've
taken all the fitting apart and got them cleaned out. The blasting end
of the nozzle has a shut off valve made a 1/2" quarter turn ball valve.
I was still able to blow through this valve just about as easily with
it closed as with it opened. It will be replaced with one bought at the
Farm Supply store, that will probably wear out very quickly from the
sand passing through it.
