Description

The Wagner PaintEATER 4-1/2" disc sander is tough on paint but gentle on surfaces, making this the ideal paint remover tool. The high- performance, spun-fiber paint eater disc operates at 2,600 RPM to provide the proper combination of user control and abrasive performance due to the open- web disc design that minimizes paint and dust build up. Slightly tilt the power paint remover on its edge to remove paint chips, or operate it flat for smooth, feathered paint edges that create an ideal surface for repainting. The Wagner PaintEater is a one-step paint remover that's aggressive on paint but gentle on siding and trim. Included in the system are the PaintEater machine and 3M spun-fiber disc, which work together to get rid of paint, feather rough edges, and smooth the surface of wood, masonite, steel, or concrete. In just one step the PaintEater eliminates the time-consuming, labor-intensive chores of traditional exterior-paint prep and ensures that your new paint will go on smoother, adhere better, and last longer.Quickly and Easily Prep Your Home's Exterior Painting a home's exterior is a big project, but one that pays off in curb appeal as well as protection for your home. The first and most tedious step in painting your home is to get rid of loose or flaking paint and to prepare a smooth surface for a fresh coat. The PaintEater is an award-winning tool from Wagner Spray Tech and 3M that will help make quick work of this process.The Wagner PaintEater was awarded the Handyman Club of America's Member Tested and Recommended Seal and Contractor Tested and Recommended Seal.Aggressive on Paint, Gentle on Siding and Trim The Wagner PaintEater aggressively removes paint but is easy on underlying substrate. With the PaintEater you can prepare most outdoor surfaces, including wood and masonite siding, concrete, and steel. The machine's powerful, 3.2-amp motor delivers 2,600 RPM for removing even the most stubborn pain, paint oxides, and mildew; this optimal rotary speed gives just the right combination of performance and control.Flex-Disc System for Precise Results The PaintEater combines a high-powered machine and a tough 3M spun-fiber disc with high- performance abrasive embedded into the fibers. Together they provide you with speed, power, performance, and control, so you don't have to worry about damaging surfaces.The PaintEater's innovative Flex-Disc System allows the disc to conform to surfaces for precise results around flat trim and siding. The disc can be operated on its edge--to remove stubborn paint chips--or flat--to smooth or feather edges. The outer edge of the disc is ideal for preparing the surface underneath lap siding. The disc's compact size--4-1/2 inches--allows you to access tight corners; its open-web design minimizes buildup of paint and dust and allows the disc to easily glide over screws, nails, or sharp edges without damage.Removing the disc is just as simple as using it--no tools required.

For added protection, the PaintEater features a Velcro strap for securing the tool safely to your hand when working on a ladder, rooftop, or when you just need extra leverage. For peace of mind, a silicon boot protects the on/off switch from dust and moisture.The Wagner PaintEater is backed by a one-year limited warranty.What's in the Box Wagner PaintEater and 3M disc.

  • Wagner Spraytech 0513040 PaintEater

Works very well for removing paint from wood and concrete surfaces. Much easier than wire brushes and scrapers.

  • It Works with a little "elbow grease"
Size: PaintEater V2
I used this for removing peeling and flaked paint from the corner boards of my house. It worked well but is not easy. You have to get a feel for using it as it will wobble badly if not controlled. I've read some of the reviews concerning the stop pin breaking its plastic guide. While using, due to the direction the disc is turning, it will tighten. This is what causes it to resist removal. I put some anti-seize on the threads and base and it came right off with no problem. I also superglued a hard piece of rubber against one side of the plastic guide where it usually breaks (not necessary if you use anti seize). This is overall a very nice product and a good idea as well. ... show more

  • Quality is better than expected works well on exterior siding
Size: PaintEater V2
I've been using the paint eater to prep cedar siding before re-painting my entire house. It works quite well and will strip the paint off if you need to remove it all and you can feather pretty good also with it if that's all you need to do. I found where I have old boards with 4 layers of old paint on pine siding it was hard to feather as it was making some deeper rough edges so I used a palm sander to help feather those. On the newer sides of my house it's all cedar and has only one primer and paint layer and it feathers much better on that and I didn't need to do extra sanding on mostly all of that. Overall it was worth buying because it does very well when you haven't got several old layers to deal with. If I had a situation with really bad siding with 4 layers of old paint in really bad shape I would try one of those diamond blade strippers as I think they will strip off old paint a lot faster than this will. This will strip off all the paint if you want, but it would take longer than the diamond blade strippers from what I've seen. Good product to have though and happy I have it for my project as it's doing a great job on the cedar siding with only a couple layers of old paint which hasn't got too much peeling and where it is peeling it seems to feather it well. Also on the old pine siding their was never a primer applied before it was originally stained so I think that is causing it to be harder to feather as it wants to just strip it all off to the bare wood, this probably wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for the lack of a primer on the original solid stain paint job, as the primer would hold the solid stain on better so if can take the sanding without coming completely off. ... show more

  • It can be a bit jumpy
Size: PaintEater V2
I used this a LOT to grind the paint off my wood lap siding house. The paint was thick, 80 years or so worth. It WILL grind it down but it was much easier to scrape off the thick stuff by hand. On a smaller project you could use this to grind it all off. What was left after I hand scraped this tool did excellent. One side of my house I only hand scraped. The other side I used this after and it looks much much better. Its a hardy little worker, a bit jumpy at times but I'm very happy with the final result. Replacement pads are cheaper at Menards than on this site. ... show more

  • Makita gv5010 disc sander worked way better than Paint Eater
Size: PaintEater V2
I am a DIYer who tackled the task of prepping and repainting soffit/eaves and fascia in my home. I Heard wonderful reviews from reputable sources about the Paint Eater, so I was very confident this was the right tool. I spent 3 days scraping peeling paint with a 5-in-1 tool and then used the Paint Eater. Eventually it dawned on me that I was taking way too long and it wasn’t producing good results … there had to be a better way. I came across two alternatives. The first was the Paint Remover Pro, but this tool was just too expensive ($800). The second alternative was using a disc sander. I first tried the dewalt 5” disc sander. Results were better but required to much sand paper changeout. Finally I tried the Makita gv5010 5” disc sander along with 7” discs (those made by Makita). The Makita discs are very durable and do t require too much disc changout. This tool was way better than the Paint Eater. Way faster and far better results. I’m not sure how the Paint Eater got such great reviews. Maybe it’s good for small areas like window, door, or interior trim. But for larger exterior home projects such as eaves/soffit, don’t waste your time or money with the Paint Eater. Try the Makita gv5010 5” disc sander with 7” 50-grit sanding discs (only those made from Makita as these last way longer than those from other brands). If you have a very, very large area you might even opt for the Paint Remover Pro. ... show more

  • pretty good stripper - handle is a weak link
Size: PaintEater V2
Update 2: the cheap plastic case is the shortcoming of what could a great Product. The second one broke at the locking pin needed to remove the disc. I am sure this is planned obsolescence. Update: I used this product for several large jobs. A weak point is the handle , which broke off making the stripper unstable. The handle is held by a plastic bracket. worked well at removing the paint on my yellow pine exterior siding. Tedious but effective. Where I opted not to fully remove, it did decent job at featheredge. I am happy with results. But it does take a toll on muscles if you use it for several hours! Wear an N95 mask and be careful if you are on a ladder. Have fun! Notes: The sanding disk is amazing. so let this gizmo do the work. If you press down impatiently, two things happen. (1) you load (slow down) the motor (this is bad), and (2) you add swirl marks (this is bad). So don't and you will be happier with the result and the gizmo will not break within a few hours. I was concerned about motor power based on some reviews. But the 3.4A (0.5 Hp) motor is plenty strong. The sanding disk will tend to grab if the unit is far off axis from your body and more power would be dangerous and not more effective. This thing is made for the homeowner. Any more power and the lawyers would be lining up. Still, the plastic body and key parts, like handle bracket, are shortcomings that bother me. For $60 i do not expect heirloom but expect to get 50 hours of use. The on/off switch is not a very good design but I can live with it. ... show more
