Anyone have any experiences with this? I just ordered one to strip lots of paint.

 
YouTube soole garage episode 4 Chevelle. He uses it on his frame. I think it’s the same.

I've seen a number of videos of people using it, but I was checking to see if anyone here used one. Based on what I saw, it should work great (at least I hope so for what I spent).

With all the extra wheels (including some narrow ones) it was $359.87 (including tax) with free shipping.
 
Cant you just modify a buffer to already do the same thing?

Yep. I wanted something I could get into tight spots and was built heavy duty.

I just got a Harbor Fright ad yesterday and they are making the exact same thing as the eastwood tool. Not sure if it'll be gear driven or the same quality, but I'm sure it'll be less expensive.

Probably a little less quality. There tools always burn up fast. Had a cement mixing drill catch fire whole I was mixing. Fun time.
 
Yep they totally stand behind their stuff. Now if they would just make some drill bits that didn't wear out so fast.....

Don't buy the cheap $15 ones. Those are total garbage. Buy the $60 ones and you'll be fine. They last. I used to stand at the grinder sharpening the garbage ones all the time, but not anymore.
 
I have a nice set of cobalt drill bits I bought about 20 years ago. I think they were 6 or 9% Cobalt. One of the best purchases I ever made.

Those are the $60 bits at harbor fright I was talking about. They are the Cobalt ones. The $15 ones are good for drilling wood, that's it.

Yes, there are M35 and M42 cobalt bits with the M42's being the best. M35 is 5% and M42 is 8% cobalt

The harbor freight set is also M35
 
Sorry guys. I seem to have hijacked the thread. We we talking about Eastwood Contour SCT and it's Harbor Freight counterpart, right?
