Wagner Spraytech 0513041 Paint Eater 4-1/2" Replacement Disc, Rotating Palm Sander Replacement Disc, Spun-fiber Disc, Colors May Vary

Had these on my sub and save for a few years. Every few months would snag one to keep plenty on hand for big upcoming projects. Never did I ever believe the price would rocket up 💯 within a few years. Or I wouldn’t have bought the tool. Thankfully have a bunch in hand, atm. Won’t be using these for as many tasks as before. These are fantastic help on buffing to prep for stain on the porch steps, fence, deck. They’re wonderful in conjunction with power washing to prep cedar siding for paint. But need to be gentle or will rake the wood in a damaging way. Compared to 40 grit sandpaper on an oscillating sander or 36 for the belt this tool and accessory rock progress so fast. Is it worth buying the tool in this economy? Nope. Spend a little extra time using a sander. Was it worth buying four years ago, heck yeah! For the home DYIer save your money. The pads are not long lasting. For a professional charging someone for time this is a must have work horse. Five star product. One star economy. Not Wagner’s fault. /\ update Even though these don't last long they’re brutal on some of these renovation needs for this 1900 built property. I've done everything from refurbishing a used ramp system someone allowed me to take in exchange for removing it to helping with siding paint. Being careful not to mess with lead type still affixed. Repurposing everything from pallets to recoverable wood this really does make the job quicker and thus easier. I follow with either a belt sander and or orbital. Neither of which could handle the old paint from the deck or dank dark and or green having formed. These pads in combo with the other tools made for restorable sandable sustainable or paintable wood that makes up the wood treatment. Everything looks fantastic. If you need more aggressive means and chemicals or sanding hasn't worked or isn't preferred try the Wagner remover. They don't last long but get the job done very well. Be careful on softwood that you don’t press because this will make gashes on wood that might be tough to sand out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯 /\ update These pint eaters work great. These are the only end for the tool since they require screwing to the device. Even though a five ⭐️ review for functional use and ability to prep wood for most any project have one criticism... These don't last very long. They are worth using though as others have noted, anyone who commits to the tool will spend quite a bit on these replaceable eaters. If you have a definitive need, like me, repurposing a lot of wood or stripping an old house recently purchased, then this is a great help. A sander cleans up the residue. This will leave circular marks on wood following the removal of varnish or paint if you aren't careful, so beware and use a sander to help smooth the surface once heavier paint is a stripped. Despite needing to repurchase the paint eaters for me is a worthwhile investment for the need. Just wanted to give a warning to those on a budget. This wouldn't be the product for you. If money is not an issue for your project and getting the job done is this tool could be the answer. For me, this device saves time, if careful only removes paint, and is a compliment to a removal system for the DIY to the professional gig, in my opinion /\ update Bought a replacement and have lot of work remaining. Saw a demanded box item for a discount and scooped it up. Sure enough, the packaging was a mess, but product in perfect shape. Me, yeah, savings! I really like the Wagener paint eater. Super helpful for fixing up a house from 1900. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯

This product is amazing, strips paint b with ease

I have used these discs with the paint eater sander for numerous jobs around the house. They work extremely well in removing paint or stain from wood. I have done an entire deck with these. They do not destruct if you go over a screw or nail.

well, you want to remove some paint. well, this will do it. but there are definitely some Do's and Don'ts do hold it flat and hold on. If you try to use it vertically you will scratch something and think where did that pad go. yes it will burn right out. I used it on a painted wooden mailbox yes paint removed but eating pads like candy and paint still on I was determined to see what it would take for it to get the job done at 18 dollars a pop ahh so I will use 1 even if it eats it. Wrong move. I had another and used that and another. And still paint. Well in the end I totally found out why these machines and pads fell from grace. I went back to the old technique of paint removal the use of chemical then scrape. And finish by sanding. The machine you can find stored away in the land fill if you want it look there it’s in perfect running condition. The cost of the disk and the job it did far out values its practibility.

The Wagner paint eater pads eat the paint and feather the old paint onto your existing wood for easier prepping and painting. It's like having a sander and paint Stripper all in one, which saves time and money. I try to paint my house every two years, so I know how these pads work, and they easily screw off your Wagner paint eater with a press of a button and screw back on. It's that easy.

These discs are awesome. My wife and I resided our house this summer and in the areas where the old wood was solid, we used these discs. They are amazing. They cut through the hassle of making boards finish ready with much less effort than using a sander. We are so glad we found these, and while there is a bit of learning curve to using these, once you figure it out, everything else get so much easier.

Me funcionó perfectamente

These things are awesome. I had to sand my whole house(cedar siding) and these things ripped right through it. Make sure you were a mask and cover yourself because debris and dust gets everywhere.

Disc works great. It removes any dry paint in no time This disc is the only one that will fit the Wagner paint eater tool. This tool and disc are the only combination I have found other than sanding with paper or belts, and both paper and belts clog up with paint in no time, but this fiber disc does not clog up with paint, ever! Disc is to aggressive for light jobs as its fibers are like a heavy grit sand paper and the tool (paint eater) has no variable speed control only on or off, so a light paint rough up job is difficult A choice of disc grit abrasive levels would make tool and disc the ideal paint eating system for my house maintenance uses.

it works OK but I think it where out to fastFor the price you have to pay

Approximately 1/3 done my 24" overhang and 2X6 trim about 80 lineal feet and still on the first disk...amazing..What a time saver and well designed product.. It does just what it claims..

Does as promised however one small complaint. In my case i was prepping wood siding and really needed the outside edge to last a little longer to reach the bottom of the upper board. Lots of abrasive left for the flat, but the outer edge disc wears down quickly making it difficult to reach in tight spots. Wouldn't hurt if they were a bit cheaper and/or sold in pks of 2 a bit of a discount.
