Blair Tornado 2 & Astro Paint shaker
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2021 9:19 pm
My El cheapo pneumatic Paint shaker just flat wore out and was barely shaking any more, Not that it ever did very well.
I knew it was cheap China junk when I bought it but it worked after a fashion for a lot longer than I expected it too with coaxing every time I needed to use it.
So I gave up on it the other day in frustration came in the house for a cup of coffee and just Ordered a New Blair Tornado 2 out of frustration! I had been looking at them for a Long time! off and on mostly after using my POS!
I hope its worth the money and does a good job although it wont take much to be better than what I had!
The Junk I started out with,Astro I am not saying they are all Junk But mine never worked worth a Turd. I even rebuilt the actuator in it! It still never shock like it should, would never go full stroke of pneumatic actuator Buy one at your own risk! My opinion their Junk! I will never buy another one.

Does anyone else have this or use this one? If so have you ever had to change the springs? if so which set should I buy to keep in stock ? top bottom or Both??
Seen Blair's video saying they don't warranty the springs.
