Sandblasting Cabinet Pickup Tube, 18-1/4" Long, Straight End, Made in USA, 6442-04

I bought this to upgrade my Harbor freight cabinet, and it was an IMMEDIATE improvement on function. I was able to turn down my air pressure and no more surging. Definitely a good purchase.

I bought this to replace the pick up tube in my Harbor Freight abrasive blasting cabinet. It works much better than the original and does not clog up the gun every minute or so as the old one did. I tried to modify my old one with limited success and should have gotten this a long time ago. I only gave it four stars because it is expensive for what you get.

The media comes out very consistently with this. With the original from Harbor Freight, I could feel the surging, which meant that there would be a lot of media, then hardly any, then a lot, etc. This seems like I get a much more consistent flow, making it easier to blast and a faster job.

The Harbor Freight blast cabinet works great after you make basic upgrades, like this pickup tube. It made a HUGE difference. Don't use the cabinet without replacing the tube with this one. Do a search to find the other things the cabinet needs, like adding flood lights inside, replacing the barb on the gun tube, and making a vortex filter...all must haves.

I tried everything to make my Chinese harbor freight blast cabinet work. First, reseal the whole thing. Then add led lights that won't clog with dust. Then a Dust Deputy (absolutely awesome) to keep my shop vac from clogging. Finally bought this pickup tube. No more surging or clogging. Works smooth and reliably. I had to saw off the mounting tabs to work in my small cabinet.

Works perfect

works great

Worked as expected
