Was wondering what is better for occasional use- cheap siphon/gravity hopper type or small pressurized tank type? thanks

Dave,as Wardner said a pressure pot is the way to go, I havn't used me siphon blaster since I got my pressure pot. Keep your used sand in a garbage can & use it on sheet metal etc. it won't warp the sheetmetal as much as new sand will.

Assuming that you have already considered personal protection - i.e lungs, eyes, ears and next envirnomental protection - i.e. lead and dust, you have to consider how much air you have.
The syphon feeds are handy but very wasteful of both sand and air. The nozzle velocity of a syphon system is a small fraction of a pressure pot. I would only use the syphon system for spark plugs or touch-ups where the use of the trigger becomes a real benefit. If I had to choose between the two systems, there is no question but to get the pressure pot. If you have plenty of air and money, get a remote controlled pressure pot. I am a retired sandblasting contractor (bridges, ships, tanks) and have surplus equipment. Email me if you want to get serious about sandblasting.
