Once again, another product the average guy or pro could find in his (her) toolbox. After finding this channel, I've gone out and purchased many of those tools. Glad to see Eastwood has discovered you
Thanks Doug
Doug Ward I met the guy who invented this tool it's pretty cool and so is he
You just blew my mind. Now my brother and I can finally repaint his car without sanding for ages lol. Great video keep it up.
+Demon King lol

AWESOME TOOL. This would have made my work many years ago so easy. I am really looking forward to the next build. Thanks. You are doing a great job with this channel.
thanks Jim
WOW thats an amazing tool!!! I see one in my future :)
Great video! I have a very similar tool at work, id be lost without it!! But those "special" drums have been around for a long time here in Germany
That’s sick! I wish I had this tool years ago!
This is another must have tool. There is so many great tools at Eastwood, my credit card is screaming when I get done shopping there. Oh well, there is no such thing as to many tools. Thanks for another great video.
no problem
Oh this is gonna be awesome for my next few projects!
Keep it up Kyle! love the videos you post - also thanks to you I just saved 60 bucks at Eastwood! Nice!
awesome....glad I could help
Thanks for sharing your experience
Nice and unique metal prepping tool. Perfect for your show. Another great video Brother.
thanks
nice tool ty bud.love the content thanks for the time you give man.
no problem. thanks for watching
Eastwood has some really cool stuff. thank you for sharing this info. i am throwing it on my list of must haves. Love your videos, you have some mad skills man, keep up the good work.
thanks man
Do you have a dust collector system in your garage? I stress alot when I have an engine build project going and try to avoid any jobs that will fly dust particles everywhere!
Gotta get one ,Great video
You just sold me one. I'll be taking Smokey to bare metal to fix the mop job of a paint job it currently has.
I have a similar tool made by a german manufacturer.. Point is I use it mostly for stainless steel recondition and polishing. As said an affordable tool and useful too!!! Congrats Kyle and keep up the good work!
thanks
Always look forward to Friday Tools! Another great one, thanks man!
no problem. thanks for watching
I've been contemplating getting one for sometime now. Thanks for the review.
no problem
Looks pretty cool. I've use a pneumatic tool very similar to that. It had an air bladder for the drum with a scotchbright cylindrical pad that slipped onto it. Great to have in certain situations. We used it to finish polish large stainless steel idler rolls.
very cool
I just bought one of these. IMHO it can't be beat for stripping thick layers of paint, epoxy, and filler with the black poly drums. I was quite surprised that it even comes with a spare set of motor brushes.
Trying to save up to get one can't wait I need it for my Grand Marquis
Ah I wish this was out when I was at this stage in my build, i would love to see how this performes against the (rubber stone chip stuff ) removing that stuff was such hard work as it seems to get hot/melt and spread around like butter lol....... A vacuum attachment would be nice for this tool and different width drums to allow getting in to the tighter places.
Thanks Kyle , I buy a lot of tool's from Eastwood , I got gift card s from Eastwood for Christmas , now I know what to buy . Keep up the Great Videos you do.🔩📐🏁👍
thanks for watching
Another great tool and video, keep up the great work.... Putting some of your video making tips in use on my own channel, thanks!
Thats awesome. I will have to take a look
Wish I had this tool back in the early '80's. Used paint stripper, and razorblade scrapers to get 3 layers of paint off the '57. Watched the Eastwood video a few weeks ago, and I'm really tempted to try it out after watching your video. Thanks for posting links. This tool has great reviews in their comment section, and the lead warning that I didn't think about. Reminded me of the lead body work we found while stripping the paint. Need to contact customer service to see if free shipping also applies to Canada. You could start a new channel called You Wish You Had This Tool Fool, showcasing Eastwood Tools.
lol
I like that it is a user serviceable tool and that they even include an extra set of brushes. That's very cool to me .
+robert booth yeah for sure
Right on, thanks I’m sold.
Received mine today, and in 3 hours I removed about 40 percent of the old original paint on my 90 full size chevy p/u. WORKS GREAT!
awesome. glad you like it
Would it help even surface of tack welds? Problem is I weld tacks on inside of my workpiece. I'm in sign and letter fabrication. The tacks leave little, what we call, "pucker" marks on the outside surface. Basically barely noticeable weld dots. That become visible during paint. Our shop use an angel grinder with a conditioning/"cookie" pad. Pain in the ass to use. Thinking this might do the job.
Yeah, I'vev been working with stainless steel for years, all the way from fabrication to surface finishing, and linear burnishers like the one in the video are quite amazing tools since they fulfill a bunch of use cases which rotary tools won't cut it. The ONLY problem with them is that the media is very expensive (for quality). I've got a Festool 14-23E and like any german company, they charge and arm and a leg. One of the best purcahses I made for this tool was the Dynabrade 3-1/2"x5-1/2" inflatable wheel that has a common 5/8"-11 female threaded arbor uses standard 3-1/2"x15-1/2" belts which are not only more aggressive than the usual 4"x4" flap drums these burnishers utilize
I just bought one last night and am anxious to receive it and test it out!
Its kicks ass....love mine !!!!
the fine drum works great for polishing stainless it does awesome job.
good to know
love it !!!!
Could this be used on stainless to give it a "brush stainless" look? I've been curious about picking one of these up because I got a 63 ghia I'm going to start working on and the body needs alot of love...lol to put it mild
Is there a belt driver roller for this tool??
Need this in my life!
+Josh R its bad ass
Have been using a similar tool to that for 4 or 5 years now? Working in a Blacksmith shop we use it for Graining Rails done in Bronze or Stainless Steel.
thats awesome
If only this was 240v and came with different plugs for different countrys. I'd buy one for my workshop in a second. Looks like a very handy tool. Great review as always!
thanks
Thanks for the review, I've SO have to get me one of those, awesome
no prob
Subscribed! Need this on my 86 corolla lol. Will this be able to remove undercoat?
How does this thing differ from a burnisher?? How would it work stripping iron railings of old metallic paint?! Looking for the holy grail tool!! Thanks guys (in advance!)
That's super cool. I need it
Anyone got a good way of removing rubberized undercoating? I'd like one of these but the budget doesn't really stretch at the moment
Sold! I need that tool for my mustangs
I have to get one of these! Makes shirt work of that paint, and left the bare metal very nice looking.
Yeah I didn't look like it removed much metal if any
Man, finally a review on this product that I've been looking for. Just found your channel and subscribed. I love Eastwood products. I'm especially interested int he drum that goes around bolt and stuff.
awesome....thanks
Looks like a great tool, do they offer polishing wheels ?
Kyle, watched one of your earlier videos on making a bead roller from a set of wire cutters/crimpers......Had to look twice as I didn't recognise you...You've come a long way since that video...Keep developing, love the videos..
yeah that was back in the early days
I need this tool !
wow that's awesome , thanks for your time doing these video's, getting great ideas from your channel to start doing some fab on my 96 Toyota Celica, never done any fab work so find all your video's great and where to get the tools helpful, just have to find them on the English amazon, keep up the great work
awesome...I think my links work for the UK Amazon
well done Mr. Kyle
thanks
Nice FMJ reference
Just discovered this channel, love your videos. This tool looks amazing, wish I could find it in the UK- would make jobs so much easier!
thanks...welcome
@@Thefabforums where do you buy the tool
i see some comments just hating on this tool...it is actually pretty dam nice...i have sanded on car parts usually with a electric orbital sander ...this tool out performs it for sure ..but only on specfic
The Bibbster is back! HYYYYPPPPEEE
yeah
This really is a good tool. I bought two for a second worker. The drums work well but are too expensive. $59.00 for paint knocker and $49.00 for the drum that goes around bolts and protrusion put my budget at over $500.00 to accomplish a really huge rust removal job. Yet the work went smooth, and fast and eliminated ALL the rust on this sixty year old VW Type 2 18ft Motor home.
drums have come down since
chingona herramienta
por favor cuando haces un video de como instalar un ac en una troca vieja gracias
I have a pneumatic tool similar to that one called a crud buster that is much more compact. I've had it 7years now and it works flawless.
awesome
Looks like a great tool! I've used the pneumatic ones but they seem kind of toy'ish... Be sure to thank Eastwood for me! wouldn't have seen this tool if it wasn't for you Kyle.
This is surely on my gotta get list!
will do ...thanks
been looking at that but wasnt realy sure if it worked sold thanks
no problem
Any belt driver roller for this tool??
Man that is so sweet man very cool
thanks
That was effortless dyammm
1 vez que veo esta herramienta, excelente herramienta hay que ver si la puedo conseguir. Saludos.
Sí, funciona muy bien. Debería estar usando esta cosa un poco en algunos videos próximos
The Fab Forums Muy Bueno Kyle!...👀👍™
The Fab Forums lol, I know no Carolina boy doesn't know how to speak Spanish, you used a translator huh? 🤣😄
This is Greg again I'm working on paint job on my house right now so if you could let me know ASAP I could be using that tool right away
kool tool. my main concern would be on the drums. how long they would last and how many you will go threw.
I could see that. Eastwood has some video of them stripping a 50ish chevy truck and I think they list the amount of drums they use
I think you sold me on it.... definitely will be getting one in the near future.
I love mine
Looks like almost all the drums are out of stock currently
That is very cool.
Would that be good to strip the paint and polyester sealer off a Corvette without chewing into the fiberglass base?
Probably not
@The fab forums
Can I get a nylon brush for this tool?
That's a pretty sweet tool. It's based off of the Motabo Burnishing tool, but like you said it's off to one side, however Metabo does have a tube sander/polishing attachment that's awesome to have. Dollars to donuts the Eastwood probably costs about $700 less so for the money I'm gonna go with the Eastwood
yeah
cant wait to see the bibster built!!
cant wait to get started
cool I wonder how good it would do on undercoating
its does really good
does it heat the metal up enough to warp the metal?like on the hood or finder of an older car. how much does it weigh?
no....creates very little heat
I like it. Has anyone used this on an older car? I am wondering what it does when it comes across brazing or lead fillers.
good question.
good point , lead shouldn't be ground or sanded anyways , bad for your health . Always melt out the lead , bronze/brass brazing i'm not sure about if that is ok to grind
Bare metal/Carbon fiber build for the Bibster would be kick ass. Add a bunch of rivits and that would be my favorite build by far!
thats the plan...hope to use a ton of carbon
would love to see how it handles some hot roll mill scale... Also, the yellow proto type drum, is that like a wire wheel or are the bristles some kind of plastic / non-metallic material?
I believe it more like a wire wheel with some grit on the tines
How much does the drums last?
I gots to get me one of those ...it will make my life better
I have a Metabo and a Bluerock brand, and I've used a Fein. I've never found any of those being unwieldy just because the drum was off to the side. The Fein was the best one, and felt pretty good to hold for a long period of time. However, @ $900 it's a tad pricey. Metabo is about $600. The Bluerock brand is only $175 and comes with 4 different drums. I never used a Flex, but those are also German, and look to be the lightest of all of them.
Basically all of these use the same Metabo shaped drum keyed hole on the arbor. But you need to know just how expensive those pads and flap wheels are upfront. Even a bulk box of import wheels will set you back close to $290 for only 20 wheels! And the harder you push, the more they wear down, obviously. (They are called Burnishing Wheels, btw) The stripping wheels load up quickly and don't last very long. Eastwood's version is $60 a pop!
They are really awesome if you know what you are doing, and use them for very specific purposes. You'll most likely already be using them if you know about them. Because quite frankly, the entry point for these tools has always been high and very industry specific. Ever notice Harbor Freight has never brought one over, even though there are Chinese versions close to $100 on eBay. When the consumables quickly add up to be higher than the tool for the first job, you really need to be charging pretty high for the work that you are outputting to justify these.
I've wanted to get one since they came out!!
It is so rad....love it
iv seen their videos on this and thought it was so cool. I always questioned it as I do most products until I see it kinda first hand. companies try to over sell things in their videos all the time and to see you use it. shows me its not faulty advertising. I cant wait to see what other things you get from them and any other companies.
thanks
how much is it
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BIBSTER!
me too...itching to get started on it
do u think it would take off old car undercoating? or would it gum it up?
I think the black would be able to do it
That is a nice tool
Great, watched the clip and now my house is full of dust.
Subscribed. Great episode! What do you think about aircraft stripper? I'm thinking of using it to strip a hood down to bare metal, so I can repaint it the proper color.
+WILSON! Thanks
i bought 5 for the welding class i teach my students love them
Im sure they come in handy
OOH DAMN !! I need that tool!!
lol
Love this! Any idea does Eastwood ship to Finland?
not sure
I want one or two
great video and I liked the scarface impression lol
lol. thanks
What about the Metabo?
Impressive! Of course, once you're at bare steel it's a good idea to apply a zinc or epoxy based primer on it ASAP or, within a day, you'll see a light coat of rust on the surface.
I have used these types of drums, they work very well, but be aware, they do not last very long and the cost is extremely high. I checked Eastwood's price on the red scotchbrite drum and it's $20. Others are similar in price, I get mine from Klingspor,(they are not made to fit this tool ), they are a bit less but still expensive on a larger project.
yeah I am sure they could add up fast
You're right fool....I need that tool!
lol
Actually purchased the same machine from E bay at half the price of the Eastwoods machine and does the exact same thing, in fact the drums for the eastwood machine fit the less expensive one.
I have one of these, they make quick work of stripping paint. Not much vibration to the arms and I could actually strip a car in a day. Leaves a good surface finish. The drums are sort of pricey though.
I absolutely love mine....one of my favorite tools for sure
