> 3 dayI am pleasantly surprised that these abrasive stripping wheels as they lasted as long as they did. I am grinding and stripping of old welds on a project and needed some stripping wheels. I see these available and at a great price and thought it would take four or five of them to complete my job. Here I am, only used one of the wheels and my job is complete. I have a H. Freight 4 special grinder using the 5/8 arbor. This is some tough mesh and resin they used for these wheels. I used the wheels on 2024 Aluminum with about a 47 hardness and they worked great and didnt damage the material. I also used the wheels on 310 Annealed stainless steel with no problem. It was able to cut out with ease. 5 stars to WMAZtool for their TOUGH Stripping Wheels! Thanks :)

> 3 dayI got these thinking they were like the stripping pads I use with my drill, but these are meant for a grinder. My drill pads are just pads with a hole that you screw down an arbor. Those can be used on either side but applying flat is not possible because of the arbor screw. These wheels have a built-in backing and metal reinforced arbor hole in the backing plate. The downside is they can only be used on one side. The upside is I can use them as a flat stripper with my grinder. I have a HF grinder and found the hole in these fit the grinder but were too small to fit around the indent in the nut. Thus, the force of the grinder was simply on the metal reinforcement band of the stripping wheel. That being said, I had no issues when I used this to smooth down old mortar from removed tiles. They worked pretty well, and perceptibly seemed to not wear down as fast as my other wheels. However, they also started being less effective about half-way worn as the surface became smoother from grinding the mortar. But overall, I really liked using these better than a wheel on a drill.

> 3 dayThese stripping wheels are big time savers. Being able to my angle grinder for stripping and cleaning is great, because it has so much power. These wheels fit my grinder spindle as expected. They install without issues. They do what they are intended to do.

> 3 dayThese are great quality. They fit on the grinder like they should and are well balanced. They are very aggressive and remove paint quickly. They also last much longer than the black ones from the big box stores.

> 3 dayImpressive. The grinding material seems to be glued or fused to the arbor plate. I need this type of glue for everything! With that said - the grinding material sticks well to the plate it is attached to which of course is important. And what is this grinding material? Description states high-strength wear-resistant fiber mesh and combines resin elastomer and high-quality black diamond. It certainly does the job and does it well. All you need is a light touch to start. Work smarter - not harder. The grinding material seems to be flexible yet sturdy. Takes some finesse to get it done right. I easily removed the rust from entire metal leg I show in the picture and the grinding disc showed minimal loss of material. These should last for quite a while. I used the blue for removing the rust because I believe the purple discs are for heavier jobs. This was magically answered in the question section - not the description. I had to tighten the grinding disc to my angle grinder by hand. My tightening tool does not reach into the depths of the disc because of the thickness of the grinding material. I wore gloves and turned the wheel with the grinders lock on until it wouldnt turn anymore. I am confident it is secure but will keep an eye on it. Reverse this procedure to remove the disc. It is a perfect fit for my tool. No material other than rust went flying. I thought the material might grind off but it was not noticeable at least. Eventually I am sure they wear down. It looks like they might even clog up but that will depend on the material you are grinding/polishing. Of course, always use eye protection and unplug your tool when changing wheels. I consider myself very aware of possible hazards but lost the tip of one finger years ago to a silly mistake. Luckily, I have nine more fingers that still work fairly well. Always be safe. The product appears sturdy and well built. Very well built. These will make some hard jobs easy. A must have for the toolbox. They are a great value for an eight-pack. Neat product.

> 3 dayTook a while to receive but I think it was an issue with USPS. When they arrived, we tried them out. They are really strong and rugged. Works great!

Greater than one weekSo far I think this disk works well. They do not last as much as other overprice disks. But they do the job.

> 3 dayI used one of these to clean an old shovel that was covered in rust, dirt, concrete and old paint. The stripper pads cleaned down to shiny metal in no time. The pad left a smooth shiny surface that is ready to prime and paint. The removal was fast but the pads did not leave deep scratches. These do not fall apart and last a long time. I really like these items and they are price reasonably.

> 3 dayIt just came in today and in no time I was able to remove all of the loose paint from my houses foundation. The next sunny day it will be ready for fresh paint
