National’s A95 shot blaster is a compact 8-inch manual machine, perfect for working in tight spaces. Weighing just 55kg, it runs on standard wall power, making it highly versatile for hire companies, contractors, or as a handy companion to a larger surface preparation fleet.
Easy to lift in and out of a van, the A95 is well suited for garage floors, small-scale resin prep, or 1–2 day epoxy jobs. It’s also a fast and efficient tool for touching up edges, expansion joints, and cracks on larger concrete surfaces—far quicker and cleaner than using a crack chaser or hand grinder.
To get a clearer understanding of the performance of the A95 shot blaster, read through this guide, also shown below.

While this small shot blaster offers impressive results in many applications, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Shot blasters leave faint overlap lines, so they aren’t recommended for thin paint, clear coat, or grind-and-seal finishes where a smooth, consistent appearance is required.
When matched to the right coating system, the A95 delivers a Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) of around 3, providing excellent adhesion for long-lasting results.
