Does the Home Depot Tool Rental shop offer a sandblaster rental?
When I checked out the main Home Depot tool rental site, they didn’t list it in either the “Professional Contractor” or the “Do It Yourselfer” section. I haven’t seen them offer blasters in a while either and it might depend on each particular Home Depot store.
You can try calling them at 1-800-430-3376 and ask if they have it at your store.
They also offer pressure washers for rent and there may be an attachment that you can use to convert it into a pressure washer blaster. This basically sprays high pressure water with abrasive media mixed into the water.
If you have any questions, leave a comment below. Also, I wrote up a post before about sandblaster rental information.

I would like to know more about the pressure blaster and sandblaster for rental for preparing a pool for painting. Do it yourselfer.
Theodie, thanks for your comment. First, I would try calling your local tool rental shop and see if they have a sandblaster.
You can scan throughout the site for more information or let me know your specific question here. I’ll answer.
The choice of abrasive would probably depend on the condition of the pool. Rust or old paint cleaning?
Got it! Thanks a lot again for hlenpig me out!
My husband is attempting to clean under the hoof of 49 ford pickup. Everything is removed. What would u recommend he use for this? Sandblaster? Pressure washer?
Nancy, you can sandblast it but I would probably use a angle grinder with a wire wheel brush to remove most of the rust since its inside the car. Sandblast abrasive gets everywhere and is messy.
After that, use a chassis saver paint to seal away the rust. It works like a charm.
Hi, I am about to sign papers on a home purchase, which includes a fireplace…yay (which I saw when we first looked at the house, it was lovely)!! Unfortunately, the previous tenants painted the beautiful brick fire engine red :( . So, I was really thinking about using Soy-gel paint stripper, but do not want to deal with wire brush-scrubbing the pores after the majority of the surface is stripped, unless there weren’t other options. I would like to sand/walnut blast it, but I don’t want to eat the brick and mortar, and need an inexpensive way to remove it asap! Suggestions?
Have metal lawn furniture that has about 6 coats of paint ,how do I gt it off?
@Brenda, it really depends on the type of paint and may take a while longer to sandblast it off. Using a courser grit and a hard abrasive such as aluminum oxide might do the trick.
I have a log home with a dark red stain on from previous owner and want to get it back tonatural wood with a clear protective finish would sand blasting be the best way to go diy

I am looking for a way to remove crom from a bumber not sure how to us a sandblasted but was told it would work is there any tips I should know befor I get started
@Jesse, the best way and mostly used way of removing chrome is to have a shop acid dip it which removes it nicely. Look up local chrome shops and call around for prices. Can’t remember how much it costs, but I don’t think it was unreasonable. You might need some rough abrasive to clean it off and it would cause a lot of pitting in the metal.
We have a carport that was painted with epoxy paint long ago. As it stained we had someone top coat with paint that peeled everywhere. We got manyquotes to remove both layers of paint and stuck with the cheapest (not a good idea) as they just applied some type of ;paint remover, on entire carport; without leaving on; just just a high pressure power washer to remove whatever it would allow. Top coat is gone, but hardly made a dent in epoxy paint. Plus left a mess with paint chips everywhere. What do you recommend to remove the epoxy paint? HIring someone with a sand blaster was the most expensive bid. 950.00 Would it be wise to rent a machine ourselves?
Teri, I am not sure sandblasting would be a good choice here or not. It might have issues going through the epoxy and when it does, it may carve into the concrete in some spots. I hear there are epoxy floor strippers that you can use with a scraper to remove it, but I am not very knowledgeable on it. Not sure if this would work but is something to look into http://amzn.to/2k3Qwpu . Then if the scraper isn’t working, you could try the sandblaster with the remover as a next solution.

Someone suggested sandblasting. I’m going to see if pressure washing does anything…..

I picked up a northern industrial tool 10 gal. sand blasting pod. item 155339. I don’t know anything about sand blasting but I connected it up to my little pan compressor.anyway.. Pulled the trigger real quick and in that tenth of a second the sand was bouncing back at me. I thought it was a good idea to do the metal gates we have to repaint them. Is this to powerful of a sandblaster?
When the road in front of our house was re-surfaced with a thick layer of tar we drove on it while still wet and tracked tire imprints onto our concrete driveway. We tried “Goof Off” and a power washer to remove the tar with limited success. Would a sand blaster be a good next option or would that risk damaging the concrete? If you recommend a sand blaster what type of sand should we try? Thank you for your help.
