3M Paint and Rust Stripper, 03171, 4 in

This thing was amazing. Less abrasive than a wire wheel and just as effective.

What can I say except that it does exactly what 3M claims it does. I'm using it as a make-do bench grinder using an old heavy-duty Black and Decker drill clamped in a vise, and I've only used it to remove rust from some old spring clamps, but it worked like a champ. My impression is that it's quite durable and should last a good while, especially if you don't jam the edge of a workpiece up against it and are otherwise careful about the direction of rotation. A bonus for me is that it's only 5/8: thick, which makes it easy to get into narrow spaces that a bench grinder can't, and you can approach it from almost any angle for even more versatility.

The steel header above my garage door was showing signs of rust and had peeling paint. Many wire wheels are made for angle grinders, but I don't own an angle grinder. Luckily, this wire wheel works with cordless drills and did a nice job of removing rust and paint in problem areas. My only complaint and reason for 4 stars is the durability as the wheel was essentially gone when I finished the garage for header. I then coated the header in a primer made for rusty metal. Good value for the money. Also, wear a mask and a face shield when using this as debris will fly everywhere.

3M always has great products. Same with this. Used to strip paint on car before refinishing.

It has a shaft for your power drill, to make it a quicker job. Funny thing is that Amazon shipped it in an envelope, yep, and the shaft tore through the paper envelope. But I did get it in good condition. Even the Amazon driver shook his head. UPDATE WOW !!! THIS THING REALLY WORKS WELL.

Great product Won’t damage metal Removes rust and paint effortlessly

Works great. However if you have glass tiles like I do, this tool scratches the glass horribly. I knew this, but didn't care. The pool looks so much better with the calcium removed.

Awesome stripping power!

This is my go-to for stripping paint and rust for auto body work.

muy bueno, lo uso para sacar manchas extremadamente dificiles en piso ceramico

does what it does, well I might add

Je l'utilise pour sabler les deux parties qui fait contact entre la roue et le disque sur mon véhicule lors de mes changement de pneus afin d'avoir une surface propre et exempt de rouille.

Aunque es marca 3M, me parece un disco muy rigido, ademas produce rayones grandes en el material, si quita el oxido pero los rayones que hace perjudican el acabado.
