How does it work trapping sand?

Wonderful! The only problem with this rug is doing without while it is being washed. ;-) I need to get a second one to rotate during wash time.

It seems to do a pretty good job, I don't think anything will get rid of it completely.

It works well with dirt and mud, so I'd assume it also works for sand. No sand here.....

it works better than a towel or standard mat. some sand still gets into my carpet but less than before getting the rug.

Should work okay as long as you comb the sand and make sure there's no larger stones. Also works best if your using coving as well.

Have only used mine in clay soil, but since the bottom of this auger is open it will not retain dry powdery soil.If your sand is wet, it may hold together enough for this to work. When it works, it is easier than using a regular clamshell post hole digger.

It has worked well for us in grass, as well as beach sand. You just have to twist it in deep enough.

This works fine over a brick pathway, gravel driveway, and on cement and asphalt and even over dry dirt. Haven't used it on sand but for our California beaches, the best bet is fat balloon tires.

It's fairly dusty, and you would spend a LOT of $ to get enough for a sandbox. So, no. Check at Home Depot or look up play sand in a search engine.

I've used it before in sandy soil and it was very effective. don't listen to comments about it not working. only thing i can think is that people aren't setting them correctly, or the moles are tunneling too deep. i have literally caught between 30 and 40 moles with it, very easy to set and use

I have tried this and it works, but the courser the sand the better. I also have mixed it with salt.

I have had good luck with this in sand, it's not loose sand but it pulls very easily in my soil.

Yes exactly you just fill up the bags with sand and it prevents wind from getting under the tent and blowing it away. I highly recommend this product.

i have not used this in sand, so i have no idea how it would handle in sand--sorry.

I hook it up with my Jet dust collection system. It might be stronger suction if I didn't have all the other tools on the system that I control with blast gates. With all the leakage I have no problems. The sander is a great tool and made my life easier and quicker.

I used playground sand from Home Depot, baked it in the oven for 30 minutes, and then sifted it. Baking really makes a difference to dry it out - it amazing how much the color of the sand changes. The problem: that is not a high-powered efficient machine. It takes a long time to do it's work, and it goes through lots of sand. You will need to shake the container as you use it to maintain the flow of sand (about once a minute). I tried resifting the used sand and reusing it. It works, but fresh sand was more effective. I would say this is great value for a small project. Wear lots of protection. I used goggles and a breathing filter, and then used a cheap hood over the top. I also bought a cheap disposable painters body suit and wore leather welding gloves. Sand goes everywhere. This product is NOT a solution for big jobs. After the whole experience I bought a cheap blasting cabinet. I will use this again only if its a small job that cannot fit in the cabinet.

wet the soil/sand first, and again as you dig your hole. you may need to shovel out some but most should come out with the digger.at least it does work for me ok.

If you will put the thicker sock like filter inside the mesh filter the sand will not penetrate . I do that and it will pick up the smallest of debris , this is my second year using the blaster, I really like it for small pools . Hope this helps . Happy blasting

I love it, I bought a new SUV and I use it all the time to keep it clean, I live near the beach and have sand all the time. It has no problem picking up the sand or anything else. I would buy it again. Hope it helps.

The bag is mesh, so it probably couldn't hold sand. You could try to find a tighter mesh bag.
