Seen a video on this tool:

http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-contour-sct.html

with a note on the questions, they stripped an entire car with one drum.

Anybody try this out and have any thoughts?

if it works as advertised it would be well worth the cost, but $59 for an abrasive replacement drum Shocked ... while I'm sure it works better than flap disks, it comes with a "finishing" drum so I'm assuming you'd still have to buy the abrasive drum for your initial paint removal... and then there's the big "if" thats the only drum you need for your project, I can't see it happening as abrasives wear....FAST

Without proof you can achieve a stripped job with one drum I think I would spend the $260 on abrasive disks that fit a grinder, or other tools we already have bought and paid for....

and realistically I can't see spending more than $100 on disks for one car then the savings pass on to finishing papers etc..
