Need nozzles for HF 90lb sandblaster-Please help

I need nozzles for the pressurized 90 lb HF model # 93889 sandblaster. Not available from HF on line or paper catalog without buying the nozzle head/handle with the nozzles, which is 16.99. I called HF and they stated it would be 6-8 wks. because they will have to order from the factory.They are only a buck, so I ordered a bunch of them but I'll have to wait forever for them to get here. These critters are 3/4" wide at bottom x 9/16" at top x 3/4 " long or tall which ever you prefer. I mostly use the 1/8" size. Where can I find these on line while I wait for this other order to come in ??
Thank you for any help, I'm sure others are having this problem, also
Thank you
Mike

Check with Eastwood, they carry the same blasting pot. Here's a link, I think these are what you are looking for. http://www.eastwood.com/abrasive-bla...-3-5mm-id.html

Lightbulb Ceramic/Rubber Nozzles...LOCALLY...

Man...Kool yur jets...These little suckers are ALL the SAME!!!


I was JUST THERE (HF) a few days ago because I REFUSE to pay
Leastwood's prices and wait for shipping when I can drive 15 minutes
to a "local" HF store and WALK OUT WITH the product I WANT IN MY
HAND for $3.99!!!

Here...I'll prove it to ya......watch this...

Oh yea...check ALL your magazines!!!
H.F. is running advertisments in Classis & Custom classic Trucks,
Hot Rod,...you get the idea...I walked in ther with an arm-full of 15% AND 20% off coupons!

H.F. assortment package of 4;
http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItemList.do?search.keyword=Ceramic+Nozzles& submit=find+it
(this is the 4-pac I snagged, call & give them the item # & check stock)

NOW...Leastwood;
http://search.eastwood.com/search?w=...stom&x=12&y=12

Don't forget shipping form Leastwood...and waiting...got a PayPal acount?

Oh wait...you said 1/8"...likts see...that would be about...3.175mm and
LOOK...they DON'T HAVE ONE...ha-ha......(sorry...couldn't resist)

Trust me...I've been there with these clowns...I do not reccomend letting
one of "them' talking you into joining that stupid frequent-flyer-buyer
"club or whatever they are calling it now...


Unless you plan on purchasing a LOT of crap from them...I thought it would save
me $$$ on shipping my media blaster but... NNNOOOOOO
because it had a "extra-heavy" surcharge added...

...appearantly there was some "fine-print" I missed because I forgot
my Hubble telescope...

Heavy my a$$...you should have seen the !@#$%^&* FedEx dude that
just one-handed that box right up to my front porch...

So much for my one year club membership...

Hey guys thanks a bunch. I missed those on the HF site, and they told me they did not stock them. but like most customer NO service I could barely understand the person on the phone. Thanks for the information, Eastwood is 3 times the price of HF, so I will order from HF. FTE folks are the greatest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you try your local, well supplied hardware store. I'm not sure of the tips you need but the hardware store near me carries all sort of blaster parts. This isn't a corner store with a few nuts and bolt and some light switches. It's a big store, but not a national box store, it's the type that services commercial and industrial customers.

Thanks again, my computer died and just now got back on line. I checked the HF # 65187 that was mentioned but I did not order those, they look like what I need but the description stated they were 1.285 " long and my HF nozzles are only .75 " long. So the tech. dept. told me they did not stock the ones for the 90 lb HF unit but had to order them.I can buy the ones with the nozzle handle but had to wait for the others to come from factory.
Thanks Mike

My plaster came with this type of tips aswell. I got tired of there short life and replaced the entire handle with a good one that uses the longer ceramic tips. This new tip has lasted about 8 hours of blasting and still going with no signs of wear. I would of had to change about 10 tips of the old style in that time. Well worth the $60.Amd it shuts the flow off when you release the handle. No more sand blowing in your face just as you raise your hood.

Thanks, where did you get the other handle? I mistakenly bought some longer nozzles at HF because the the blaster did not have any info about nozzles on the box so...like a nut,I was dumb enought to think that the ones they carried would fit my blaster--WRONG. Who has the handle?, have not tried Northern, yet
Thanks Mike

Got the handle from Princes Auto here in Ontario.I checked with some local auto body supply places and they have them aswell.Just need to make sure the hose will fit. Had to make a few changes but works great.
