Leaky Fittings and Poor Hardware Require Replacement
The frame, hopper, and blasting chamber assemble acceptably, but the air fittings at the gun and regulator leak excessively, and metric or British Standard threads make replacements hard to source in Canada. The hardware is poor: bolts snap or lose heads before tightening, and all hose clamps need replacing. The hopper drain latch is difficult to close, the electrics feel cheap and fragile, one glove arrived cut, and the gloves' thumbs-up orientation is uncomfortable. The fixed sprayer arm is held by a narrow nut that strips under the hoses' weight, making that assembly useless. Expect to replace several components before use.
