Feed back, how long do the "brushes" last

I have seen it used to remove undercoating from the undercarriage of vehicles

Other uses ???

Great tool. Invest in a brass inlet regulator before you begin using it. The best tip I can give you, is let the tool do the work. Do not force it to cut by exerting extreme pressure on the attachments. Speed control is vital to performance and to life of the brushes, rubber wheel and stripping wheels. The phrase "speed kills" is prevelent to using this tool. You'll waste one brush before you get the hang of them. Do not run the wire brushes at a high rate of a speed or you will shorten the life of the brush and reduce the performance.

You can sharpen the wire brushes by turning them around and running the wire wheel against a sharpening stone, rough concrete or a bench grinder. This will provide etra life and performance of the wire wheels.

The rubber wheel will remove decals, adhesives and double side tape residue. The black woven fiber wheels, are awesome for removing paint, light rust and some caulking. There are a few different Wire wheels available. The ultra course will flat eat up heavy rust pits

Have fun, but these things can get away from you and do some major damage

Checking it out and I have a few questions
I have 4 different brushes
The belts are different colors
Tan
Black
Green
Blue - this is stainless and bent(I ordered it extra and it was on the package)

I don't know why some of them have bent ends and some are straight

I have of these as well and love it. I use the Red Tread eraser wheels and the wire wheels with the bent tip. I never knew there was a straight tip or wire wheels with a different make-up.

YouTube has some great videos

The course and medium have bent bristles, fine is the straight ones

The eraser wheels are really cool as well

I am excited about getting to use it

Plus I did not know there was a way to sharpen the bristles:thumbup:

So you sell these and now want to use one. That's not surprising, because they are a really good versatile tool. You can source the Black fiber wheel from Matco. When you wear the wheel out, you can take regular Black fiber wheels from 3M and use them in tandem with the cage that the Matco double fiber wheel comes equiped with.

Well found out that the black is coarse,
tan/yellow is medium
and green (straight - no bends) is fine
Blue is stainless

I am going to get the 23mm adapter and have some options there as well:rocker:
