Hi Neil,

I have a Harbor Freight cabinet, the grey one.  It is ok, with certain
changes.  First, the gloves gotta go.  Replace them with the rubber
sandblast gloves HF sells  With a little effort, they slip over the rings
around the glove holes and you then run the screws right through the rings
and the rubber of the gloves into the cabinet.

Second, although I haven't done it, I would replace the gun.  HF sells a
bucket blaster gun for about $12 which is much better than the gun that
comes with the grey cabinet.

Finally, remember that these things leak, so don't use it or even store it
near any engine / drive train components.
