"Nuts & Bolts" Sand Blaster

"Nuts & Bolts" Sand Blaster FARM SHOP Tools 30-5-36 We got a phone call the other day from a fellow in Texas with the unusual name of Taylor Taylor. He's the president of Worthy Manufacturing, a direct-from-the-factory manufacturer of sand blasters. "We've been making the Texas Blaster for 38 years so it's been proven over time," says Taylor. "Because we sell direct, we can sell it for just $349. That might be a little more than some cheap knock-offs you can buy from China, but it's two to three times cheaper than comparable domestic-built machines." The Texas Blaster holds 140 lbs. of blast media and runs on 7 cfm @ 80 psi. It'll clean 1 sq. ft. per minute and blast for an hour and a half on a tank of sand. It has a 14-gal. tank and an easy-pour funnel for fast loading. "It's plumbed with heavy galvanized pipe and powder-coated to last a long time. It comes with 10 ft. of Dayton sandblast hose and two different blasting tips. It's fitted with 10-in. dia. hard rubber tires." In most cases the blasters are shipped the day they're ordered. The company also makes the Worthy Strainer, which is used to strain paint when spray painting. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Taylor Taylor, Worthy Mfg. Co., P.O.
