Hey Will:
I am no expert, in fact am barely ahead of you in this. However I did
make a purchase last year ( a nice cabinet from TP Tools ) and found my
two cycle 3.5 or 5 HP ( I can't recall which ) Sears compressor with a
25 Gal tank is almost unusable. I have to run the rig with the smallest
jet available, and the compressor runs pretty much non stop. I asked
questions on a number of lists and based on the responses decided to
save up for a good, solid Eaton compressor. Which will require a rewire
of my house first ( so I'm not doing that much blasting yet:grumble
grumble...) But it should be a once in a lifetime purchase and put out
34 CFM for years/decades to come.
A couple of list members took a look at the unit
http://www.eatoncompressor.com/catalog/item/504747/206944.htm
and indicated Eaton's claims were valid and it appeared really
well made. Tho if someone on list here knows otherwise please say something.

I'm getting ready to purchase a pressurized sandblaster for doing frame
and body blasting. I would like some input before I make a selection
though. Can anyone give some input as to an adequate tank size. I have
been debating between the 10 and 20 gallon tanks. Is the 10 adequate,
or is the convenience of a 20 gallon worth the extra cost. Too, I am
looking for some input with the Clarke brand. Are they decent quality?
Not looking for Snap On type stuff, but don't want Harbor Freight junk
either.
