Review on 🎨 Benchmark Abrasives 4-1/2" Silicon Carbide Paint and Rust Stripping Cup Wheel 7/8" Arbor Versatile Stripping Pads - 10 Pack: A High-Performance Solution for Removing Paint and Rust Efficiently by Dee Rawls

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Serious steel door paint stain BUT serious quality control issues –

Update 10/14/17 – Downgraded to 2 stars due to lack of quality control. I tried several discs. While the disks themselves work well, one of them must not have stuck consistently and wear out exponentially faster than the others. 3 discs in a pack of 10 had the mounting hub not centered. What a horror and rendered them useless. I threw away 3 new disks because they are not round and vibrate a lot. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong when I had 2 discs in a row that were off center. A first glance is enough to cut through several layers of paint without destroying the background. We have doors and wood paneling that have multiple coats of paint. I started using a heat gun over 1200 degrees, which on the web and video seems simple, easy, and quick. It was anything but a mess. Very confusing. So these discs were mounted on a Hitachi 4 1/2 angle grinder and WOW! You have to master the touch so as not to heat the metal door itself, but this passes very quickly. I'm not sure about the durability yet as I've only tried it for a short time. EXCELLENT article.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • No instructions
