Drill-Mounted Rotary Paint Stripper

Fitting any hand-held electric drill (1/4-inch or more shank), the Drill-Mounted Rotary Paint Stripper removes paint, varnish, and rust from such materials as wood, plastic, fiberglass, masonry, and metal. As it rotates, the carbon-steel tines, wire bristles, or nylon flaps (depending on make) create a beating action to loosen the paint, rust, etc., reportedly without gouging or burning the surface. Most such rotary strippers are available in fine, medium, and coarse grits.

Cost: $25-$30
