I went to HAMB Search first and couldn't bring up any info on the Eastwood drum type stripping tool for rust and paint. I have watched the videos and it seems like this would be great tool to have in the garage. Do any of you guys that have used this tool on your projects have any negative reason why I should make a purchase? Rog
I have one. It works well. Stay away from sharp edges and corners, which is good advice with any sanding tool. As with any sanding, keep moving around to avoid heat buildup. What you see here is the 20ga skin of a first-gen Falcon. This area took about 8-minutes:
Between one of these and 4 1/2 in grinder with a cutoff disc I could have the Titantic ready to ship in a “ If it fits it Ships “ box in a about 4 hours ! As stated it’s a tool and only as good as the user , uses it . Use it correctly you get great results , miss use it you get disaster . One thing to remember for sure “ PPE “ , no matter how much time and $$ you safe , an injury just put you deep in the loss column .
I've got one and like it but haven't used it a lot yet. They are a bit on the heavy side and will give you a work out. The wire brush wheel works good on light rust on panels but I haven't tried it on the heavier rust on anything yet. For a while at least they couldn't keep up with the demand for sanding drums but I haven't had to order any lately.

Quite the tool ! Pretty much use it every day ! The drums are affordable and last a long time just don’t catch an edge with them . The motors variable speed as well ! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
SCT for big areas and a couple of Bristle Discs on an angle grinder for the tight areas. Also great for cleaning up sheet metal before making a patch panel. One of the best electric tools in my arsenal.
