As I remember off the MAC truck they were about $100 for the pair. Email Unitec, the maker off the link below and see who you could buy it from locally and I would bet it will be much cheaper. The "Speed blaster" on it's own is a great sand blaster. I have a Harbor Freight pressure blaster that I set aside after finding out how nice this tool works. Now, I am not doing full frames or something, but a set of wheels I did went very fast. he "Hot spot" will enable you to do small spot blasting without blowing a single grain of sand! I am not kidding, you could spot blast a part on your dashboard of a finished car and not get a grain on the apholstry! It is SUPER for cleaning up spot welds or welds prior to filler work.

I suppose you've tried matching the "spot blaster" component to the Harbor Freight piece to see if it is compatible? Probably isnt, but thought I'd ask before I spend for both pieces. That "spot blaster" looks like just the ticket for interior, under hood areas, and light work on door and cab corners. TX for the tip. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 | The Chinese Red army tools...er.....I mean Harbor Freight tools are many times direct copys and parts will interchange. If you buy the spot blaster and it doesn't work, just buy the Speedblaster and you will have a fine tool.

Will we ever get a look at your chopped and sectioned '48?
I checked the Gallery, but no soap!

I just don't have the energy to do this stuff like I use to. I have an eight year old boy who may just be the one to push me into getting it going. Here it is as it stands today.
