sandblasting gun advice

[grommit]

hello all,
like an idiot i bought one of them cheap n nasty blasting guns off Ebay and i suppose you get what you paid for.the problem is that the hose came with no attachments to add to the compressor, the pick up tube has no thread on it as the hole it is supposed to go in has a thread insert..i am no expert but i was disapointed today when i opened the parcel to find out i couldnt attach it to the compressor, and the so called pick up tube is as much use as platting fog
have you any guidance to any kits that i dont have to buy extra attachments that wont break my bank account.
many thanks
Grommit

Not following ya here......

The black hose attaches to the nipple that hangs down from the nozzle area under the gun, and then attaches to that metal pipe that you stick in the media.

Then you need to get a male connector and thread it into the bottom of the handle of the gun, then you can connect it via a female connector on your air compressor hose.

I use a similar gun for small parts and have no issues at all with them.
