What Customers Are Saying
This paint/rust stripping disc is generally effective at removing old paint and rust, but has some drawbacks. It works quickly and efficiently, often outperforming other tools. However, the discs tend to wear out very quickly, making them an expensive consumable. The aggressive nature of the disc can also leave behind undesirable surface textures that may require additional finishing work. Quality control issues have also been reported, with some users receiving defective discs. While a useful tool for certain applications, its short lifespan and potential for surface damage mean it may not be the best choice for every job.

Would RecommendThis stripping tool is a great attachment for your grinder. It does the job to take off layers of paint to get down to the metal. Awesome product!

Grinder pad
Would RecommendUsed to grind off some rust and old paint off of an old trailer I am restoring. Got plenty of use out of it, lasted quite awhile. I’ll buy another for additional projects

Wow
Would RecommendThis stripper pad works amazing. Takes off rust and old paint like nothing I've ever used. I bought it to "try" it and now I'm sold on it. It does leave swirl marks in aluminum...be ware. Steel it's great.

Throws chunks as it disintegrates
Would Not RecommendPurchased one of these to try since it is a little less expensive than the other brand. It works but it throws chunks and disintegrates, not lasting as long as the other. I will not use this stripper again.
Tough Enough
Would RecommendWorks better than expected. This wheel lasts a long time, too. Excellent tool for prepping wood trim & fascia on the house. Seems just as good or better than sanding disc.

The Gator bit me
Would Not RecommendNeeded to sand my deck. The disk lasted about three minutes, did remove the old paint but for $10.00 I expected to last longer than doing about three square feet. Would not recommend this product for any usage.

Between this and a flap disc I found this to be very effective with a heavily rusted enclosed trailer. Cover large areas pretty good, and gets down to the bare metal for a clean finish. If you have a big project I would recommend buying several of them however. This will get the job done but heavily rusted jobs will wear it down quickly.
Waste of money
Would Not RecommendI bought 2 of these since they looked the same as what I got somewhere else and were a little cheaper. Unfortunately the pad wore down incredibly fast and didn't clean the surface near as well as the more expensive product of the same grit and size.
