BavAuto Media Blaster Kit (walnut blasting)

I know this just came out and for the price seems like a good deal. I would rather do it myself and have the parts/tools for future use then pay to have it done 1 time. The cost is cheaper then taking it to a shop.

That sand blaster appears to be identical, down to the safety mask, to the one sold by Harbor Freight (http://www.harborfreight.com/20-lb-p...8994-8799.html)for $58 and they also sell the walnut media for $25 for 25 pounds. Even if you buy the intake adapter from BavAuto for $78 and the nozzle/wand for $18 the total cost is $179. That's $50 cheaper than this kit without even taking into account the $30+ shipping charge since BavAuto's "free shipping for orders over $150" doesn't apply to this product.

I was wondering if indeed it was the Harbor Freight one... Glad I didn't order it, might have to save even more coin and go the Harbor Freight route. HF stuff is so cheaply made sometimes, smh, luckily there is a store near me so in case something should go wrong an exchange shouldn't be too hard.

The blaster at Harbor Freight is even cheaper when you consider the coupons in the back of every automotive magazine.
