This really is a good tool. I bought two for a second worker. The drums work well but are too expensive. $59.00 for paint knocker and $49.00 for the drum that goes around bolts and protrusion put my budget at over $500.00 to accomplish a really huge rust removal job. Yet the work went smooth, and fast and eliminated ALL the rust on this sixty year old VW Type 2 18ft Motor home.

drums have come down since

Right on, thanks I’m sold.

Yeah, I'vev been working with stainless steel for years, all the way from fabrication to surface finishing, and linear burnishers like the one in the video are quite amazing tools since they fulfill a bunch of use cases which rotary tools won't cut it. The ONLY problem with them is that the media is very expensive (for quality). I've got a Festool 14-23E and like any german company, they charge and arm and a leg. One of the best purcahses I made for this tool was the Dynabrade 3-1/2"x5-1/2" inflatable wheel that has a common 5/8"-11 female threaded arbor uses standard 3-1/2"x15-1/2" belts which are not only more aggressive than the usual 4"x4" flap drums these burnishers utilize

I have a pneumatic tool similar to that one called a crud buster that is much more compact. I've had it 7years now and it works flawless.

Watched the Eastwood video a few weeks ago, and I'm really tempted to try it out after watching your video. Thanks for posting links. This tool has great reviews in their comment section, and the lead warning that I didn't think about. Reminded me of the lead body work we found while stripping the paint.

Ah I wish this was out when I was at this stage in my build, i would love to see how this performes against the (rubber stone chip stuff ) removing that stuff was such hard work as it seems to get hot/melt and spread around like butter lol....... A vacuum attachment would be nice for this tool and different width drums to allow getting in to the tighter places.

love it !!!!

Would it help even surface of tack welds? Problem is I weld tacks on inside of my workpiece. I'm in sign and letter fabrication. The tacks leave little, what we call, "pucker" marks on the outside surface. Basically barely noticeable weld dots. That become visible during paint. Our shop use an angel grinder with a conditioning/"cookie" pad. Pain in the ass to use. Thinking this might do the job.

Looks like a great tool, do they offer polishing wheels ?

I have used these types of drums, they work very well, but be aware, they do not last very long and the cost is extremely high. I checked Eastwood's price on the red scotchbrite drum and it's $20.

I have a Metabo and a Bluerock brand, and I've used a Fein. I've never found any of those being unwieldy just because the drum was off to the side. The Fein was the best one, and felt pretty good to hold for a long period of time. However, @ $900 it's a tad pricey. Metabo is about $600. The Bluerock brand is only $175 and comes with 4 different drums. I never used a Flex, but those are also German, and look to be the lightest of all of them. Basically all of these use the same Metabo shaped drum keyed hole on the arbor. But you need to know just how expensive those pads and flap wheels are upfront. Even a bulk box of import wheels will set you back close to $290 for only 20 wheels! And the harder you push, the more they wear down, obviously. (They are called Burnishing Wheels, btw) The stripping wheels load up quickly and don't last very long. Eastwood's version is $60 a pop! They are really awesome if you know what you are doing, and use them for very specific purposes. You'll most likely already be using them if you know about them. Because quite frankly, the entry point for these tools has always been high and very industry specific. Ever notice Harbor Freight has never brought one over, even though there are Chinese versions close to $100 on eBay. When the consumables quickly add up to be higher than the tool for the first job, you really need to be charging pretty high for the work that you are outputting to justify these.

chingona herramienta por favor cuando haces un video de como instalar un ac en una troca vieja gracias

You don't need the tool to run those abrasives, and you can get them from a variety of industrial suppliers. I use my angle grinders instead. I also use a Walter version on the RH thread of one of my bench grinders (which also takes screw-on conventional flap abrasives. Before I dropped two bills on that thing I'd spend fifty more to get a Milwaukee 5196 die grinder. I have one and maintained a fleet of them for a welding school. I'd make or have made (by turning down an appropriate bolt) an adapter for the style abrasives shown and have a much more versatile tool. Eastwood might want to carry Milwaukee 5196s because they tough, powerful and last a long time even in daily professional use.

Impressive! Of course, once you're at bare steel it's a good idea to apply a zinc or epoxy based primer on it ASAP or, within a day, you'll see a light coat of rust on the surface.

+biaggiwins You're right, brake cleaner... I just read someone trying to clean something with "brake something"... and alarm bells went off big time. If you are a welder, you should just throw out all your cans of brake cleaner. Don't even have it around to possible temp a shop helper to use it to clean something with. I suspect that the outgassing for brake fluid can't be that great either. Since it's hydrophobic, and has a tendency to attract all kinds of molecules, contaminants and moisture to itself. Hence the warning to never use an opened bottle of brake fluid.
