Has anyone used one?
Did it work?

eBay

It all seems a bit too good to be true.

I take it you don't have a hose-pipe ban in your area then? laugh

Tried it with the karcher attachment. Pointless. Not better than using any of the normal attachments (the one which is very pointed at one end was just as "good" as the sandblaster).

I think you need a much higher powered one than those you can normally buy in halfords/b&q

Funny you should mention it. We are in a hosepipe ban area- but there are ads and promos happening on pressure washers.
I think I can recycle the sand and the water so not too much of a problem.

So I guess the sand came out but it didn't really do anything? Thanks for saving me £45. smile

Yes sand came out but did sod all.

If you want to get round the hosepipe ban then buy the attachment that lets you suck up water from a bucket/ fill large bucket with water / avoid fine.

I got the Clarke gun and a tub of coarse media in the end.
All in for £30, so I'm hoping it is going to work well.
