I always wondered how well that tool works, and could probably be used for lots of stuff. The only thing that concerns me is the life, and cost of the consumables?
Barnwagon: I just checked out a couple of reviews, and one thing that's important is the GRIT (or abrasiveness) of the particular wheel you used? Apparently the tool comes with a 120 grit 'finishing wheel', but there are 40 and 80 grit wheels available (~$50 each?).. Which did you use and how quickly did you strip the paint from that fender?Quote:
