I find the 960 to be a great blaster, as with anything you wish it was bigger, (you'll try to put every part conceivable in there) but it does a great job. I beleive it comes with foot control and ceramic tip. I did go back for the vibrator to keep the beads moving. As everyone says go for a $800-1000 compressor,with 175# 80gallon minimum, look at recovery rate at higher pressures, that's how I rated mine. Zeke
