    Easy-Hold Abrasive Blaster Safety Switches

    Shown in Use

    Reduce fatigue during long blasting sessions—these switches are built into a holder for your blaster hose. The holder has a brace that adjusts to shift most of the hose’s thrust away from your arms and grip, and repositions for comfort or different blasting angles. Switch easily between right- and left-hand use without having to take it apart. The housing has upper and lower rail mounts for optional accessories such as a side handle or flashlight (both sold separately). The mounts swivel around the clamp to keep accessories steady as the hose twists during blasting.
    Also known as deadman switches, these switches stop blasting if you lose control. They automatically spring back to the off position to prevent injuries and reduce wasted material. To avoid accidental activation, a secondary safety lock requires an additional motion to begin blasting.

    Trigger Actuator

    These switches send an electric signal to the control panel on the blaster to stop the spray. Because the signal is electric, these switches respond quickly even when your hose is long. They're recommended for hose that's over 100-ft. long and required by OSHA standards for hose that's over 200-ft. long.
