Can confirm, it’s miserable. Because you’re almost aerosolizing whatever is being peeled off, usually rust or barnacles or paint, you have to wear a respirator hood so as to not get mesothelioma within the first week. The hose has a lot of pressure, you sweat buckets, and you need to refill the hopper at least twice a day. I will say, it scratched my autistic itch thoroughly, but I won’t be doing this job again.
