8 Pack Strip Disc Stripping Wheel - for Angle Grinders Remove Rust Paint Stripping Wheel Clean Coating Welds Rust Oxidation (4 x 5/8)

I 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.

These work well enough for surface prep for removing rust and old paint prior to welding and priming, however, there is zero indication as to what grit these are.

I use these stripping discs on my angle grinder to remove paint from an old truck I am refinishing. These discs are doing a great job and holding up well. I wish I knew what grit they were since it isnt listed but these discs work so well that I still gave them a 5-star rating.

Working in the rust belt I use a lot of wire wheels and cups, grinding and flap discs. I never tried these because they were expensive and I did not believe they would do the job. But I must admit these exceeded my expectations not only were they less expensive than in the big box stores but they worked very well with much less metal loss my other methods. They won’t grind down a weld smooth, but they will certainly clean it up. I use a variable speed side grinder to limit grab on my wire wheels, but find this is much easier to control. They really don’t grab to badly which is important, when working around fuel lines and wiring harnesses.

Was welding up some brackets using steel I had laying around in the garage. It had obviously oxidized much over the years so I needed to clean it up. These stripping wheels made quick work of cleaning the surfaces so I could weld them up.

Impressive. 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.

These 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.

These discs chucked into an angle grinder are quite powerful at removing surface coatings. Being high speed, high RPMs, its not a subtle process but fast and thus very effective. Do beware of lead paint though. I think stripping lead paint is not advised by any mechanical means. The abrasive material has some give to it, which means that it is fairly gentle on the substrate material. It did not try it on wood, but on metal, concrete or glass, its fair to say that you can remove the coating without fear of damaging the substrate. These currently sell for under $3 per disc after coupon. While that does not seem super cheap to me, it represents a reasonable value.

I 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.
