We have a crappy little blast box that we occasionally use around the TM shop, but this is what we really want: a 46″ wide x 34″ deep x 36″ high cabinet made of 14-gauge steel with a foot-pedal-operated gun and a 250-300 CFM dust collection system. This is the real deal, and I want one.
We’ve been receiving the TP Tools & Equipment catalong for about eight months now, and we’re always impressed with their selection of tools. We haven’t seen anyone that offers the same combination of practical and reasonably-priced tools oriented toward professional fabrication and auto restoration.
But we haven’t had a chance to order from them yet, and we wonder how easy they are to work with. Have any of you done business with TP? If you have — or know someone who has, or even just have an opinion — let us know in comments. We’d also like to hear about any experiences you might have with their self-branded tools — from pneumatics to the large blasting cabinets.
And hey — even if you haven’t heard of them, you should call for your free catalog. If nothing else, the catalogs are great drool material.

It seems like half the battle in any new project is knowing where to find the tools and supplies you’ll need to get the job done. We ran across TP Tools & Equipment this week when we were looking for abrasive blasting products and thought we’d share.
TP Tools specializes in automotive shop tools, including:
We were looking for a larger bead blast cabinet and were pleased to discover that they not only offer a variety of cabinets but also sell “cabinet kits” which provide the difficult-to-find hardware such as the gun, pick-up tube, window, gloves, glove mounts, etc. while leaving you to build your own inexpensive cabinet.
