I use a blast cabinet with foot pedal at the body shop that is doing my car. I
also plan to built a
TIP kit blast cabinet.
I will build mine with the foot pedal. There are situations where you need to
hold the blast gun at
angles that would make pulling the trigger very awkward or impossible. If all
you are doing is very
small pieces, that you can hold in one hand and manipulate/rotate with ease,
then maybe the gun
trigger would do, but anything large or awkward to handle requires the foot
pedal.
