Rolling Dolly Hack for Line Stripe Removal
One of our clever contractors attached his blast hose to a rolling dolly, making ground blasting much easier. Of course, you'll have to take the deadman switch and move it higher on the hose, but this extra effort is probably worth it. It saves a lot of back strain, and keep you from bending over so much, especially on big jobs.
