Soda blasting is a great way to clean up bike parts as it is very gentle compared with bead blasting, wire brushing etc. We had had a DIY go at soda blasting in the past and were not impressed with the results, so when this new product became available we were more than a little sceptical. When the test unit arrived we gave it a go on a set of painted throttle bodes and we were blown away (pun intended)!
We have bought the test unit and are very happy to sell the product. This unit comes with 1Kg of Soda media. The blasting will not damage glass, rubber or plastic and you need very little masking when blasting. Unlike glass beads the media is not going to damage delicate engine parts. From a mess perspective you would be ill advised to use it indoors, but it is fine to use on the lawn or where ever as the used media is 100% harmless to the environment and will eventually simply blow away.
The manufacturer recommends using a compressor capable of providing at least 180 litres/minute or 6.5 CFM; any compressor over 1.5 HP should be fine. It is rated for 6 - 12 Bar (87 - 174 psi). We will supply it with either PCL (RHS in photo below) or HiFlo (LHS in photo below) connectors depending on what is on your air line.

Let customers speak for us
It is very easy to use and understand, and I say this because I've no experience with electrics, and it's safe to use. I was also impressed with the build quality.
excellent value.- fits in the tiny space under my seat - brilliant service as usual from BikersToolBox
An extremely useful addition to my toolkit
It's a very neat little set, seems well made, 6 point sockets are a good thing. It's a pity that there wasn't a 14mm socket, rather than the very small ones. It took me a little while to work out how to release sockets from the ratchet head, press the little button, doh... Which raises an issue with the ratchet mechanism. If you are using the tool in the T handle mode, as a screwdriver for example, it is not possible to change the ratchet direction without releasing the Roto Lock clamp and angling the ratchet head to access the direction change control on the rear of the head. Neither does it seem possible to lock the ratchet in a middle position. Unless I am being particularly dense, of course.
These soft jaws are brilliant because they be fitted and removed very easily.
No damage or marking of parts and they grip very well indeed.
Highly recommended
Great tool, so easy to use and a perfect crimp every time. Should have bought this tool years ago. Well worth the money
Always brilliant, just when you think all is lost "Bikers Tool Box" saves the day. Thanks.
exactly what I wanted No more stripped out screw heads Will be using them shortly
Bloody good piece of kit, expensive because I had it shipped to france, but worth it, plus I got another sticker and some sweeties 😃 would recommend
Although at the budget end of the range, a great vacuum brake bleed tool. Easy to use with lots of adaptors to suit all types of bleed nipples and plenty of tubing. Huge thanks to Ralph for sorting everything with this order.
Superb product. And really helpful advice from Bikers Toolbox.
I needed a couple of things confirmed. They had the answers immediately!
Definitely use them again
