we use the belt sander/dynafile setup like those to smooth out welded handrail joints. i wonder how that skinny belt would do compared to the 1" one the dynafile has on it. if you use a flap disc or grinder disc on the handrail, you "stopsign" the tube and you'll feel it in your hand even after painting the joint.
Subjective, maybe, but the rust and paint removal demonstrations were extremely helpful for anyone considering a big job! You might be able to finish a job with any of those products but could save hours and money by using the right one. Another valuable resource from Project Farm. This video feels like I got 2 for 1! Great content, as always!
No, these demonstrations were just dangerous. You don't use wire brushes at that angle. Sooner than than later that will spit out wire fragments and hurt somebody. That was only demonstrating how to lose an eye. This was just how to not do it.
As a former seafarer when doing rust we use a jet chisel(pneumatic) to remove the first layer of rust then followed up with the cup brush for a nice semi clean finish for the first primer for ship maintenance And yes thick clothing, gloves, respirator, and face shield are a must regardles of what angle the cup brushes go it will still fling wires
CONGRATULATIONS TODD! 3M SUBS! Best channel on TH-cam, no bs, you get down to businesses and tell the viewers what they came to hear, you don't play to the camera or tell people useless stories, or information just to hear yourself speak. GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS!
If it's the only Channel you watch, i wouldn't say it's the best channel on YT. His voice is too high and he talks too fast. I am just trying to get a question answered that he refuses to answer.
@@KStewart-th4skdont be such a chode and you will enjoy the videos more. I see all your other comments and they are just obnoxious crap. "Still waiting to see what you did with those welders..." the answer is whatever the hell he wants to. Look at all the other comments. You are literally the only one who has a problem here, which means maybe you are the one thats wrong. Go get a life.
Many factories I do work in have banned all wire brushes because of too many people picking broken wires out of body parts. Somewhere on the internet is at least one close-up photo of a wire sticking out of someone's eyeball and that is the one thing which finally got me to be super diligent with eye protection rather than a bit lazy at times. As always, great tests. Wish I could give 2 thumbs up on this one because it is sort of 2 different videos in one.
Next episode; turning a chainsaw into an angle grinder! Great work, very informative on the paint and rust removal. Really helps those who have not had to do a large job, to pick the right tool for it!
With the rust removal, it looks like two or more passes with different wire brushes. Use the one that did well getting into the pits (fire?), but poorer one the general removal, then do a pass with the one that did a great job but did not get into the pits (thick?).
The unbelievable danger of all the attachments is next level! The first couple of items seem to be just dangerous and I agree with you that I wouldn't recommend them. The belt sanders were actually useful. Thanks for another great video!
@@Milkmans_Son ok well we all know how dangerous guns can be but wee use them and are cautious ⚠️ and safe just as wee should be with tools without safety
Not only do I respect you as a great human being doing a service for millions of people by making these videos, I also very much enjoy watching your vids. Thanks.
I had no idea these attachment tools were available. Some do look sketchy, but a couple looked pretty good. The comparison with the rust and paint removal discs/cups was great. Sometimes speed is important, while other times not damaging the old surface matters more. Great test! I learn so much from these videos!
I definitely enjoy this kind of "other" content that you polled us for! As a younger viewer I actually really enjoyed seeing the attachments and their applications in real life work scenarios. My personal favorite from this video must be the belt sander attachment. The pipe one I had no idea such a thing even existed, but the belt sander itself is nice for the people who don't want to buy a large tool that they'd use 2-3 times a year and prefer a cheaper and more compact version of it instead. It somehow gets a good job done too, nice find! Also that final test really opened my eyes as to *just how much* the paint coating can help against rust. Educational and fun at the same time, I really like these gadget reviews. If you could test some random vacuum cleaner attachments (either regular vac or shop vac) I think it would make a pretty interesting video as well. I don't know if there's various attachments but considering my new vacuum cleaner came with about 4-5 attachments, I believe that there should be random misc. attachments out on the market as well? Anyways, whether you decide to continue making these or not - We enjoy this content too and like I said, I personally loved seeing the things get put to real work tests so I can understand what the tool is used for way better. Have a nice day/evening Todd, and thank you for the dedication to this channel!
My freind I completely agree. He recently liked a comment of mine where I recommended he do house appliances. Specifically I want to know if some of the claims and different tools associated with consumer vaccumes/carpet shampooers are true or not. I have had very mixed results all across the price ranges on these two items. I also agree about that belt sander. What a real find!
There are definitely accessory kits for vacuums, biggest issue is having a vacuum with a house size that will fit the attachments. I found a bunch on Amazon, and i think the one i ended up buying was a car cleaning kit for a vacuum with a 2 inch house
I never plan on buying most of the things you make videos on but you're always so entertaining while being extremely informative. Hands down the best review channel! If you get the chance I would love to see a video on rotary tools, especially Dremel.
That finger sander attachment has a whole world of uses. I found one at harbor freight about 25 years ago and put it on an air grinder. It turned out to be so useful that I left it on and got a second angle grinder. I really like the look of that pipe sander. Maybe I'll be getting a 3rd angle grinder. :D
I had no idea you could make an angle grinder more scary. Thanks for enlightening us. Hope everyone keeps all their fingers and such after being tempted by the chainsaw attachment.
I like the bomb-defuser attachment myself; although the lion-tamer adapter is also cool. And the real-time rocket engine exhaust aimer jig is a neat idea, but not sure I would use it enough to justify the cost. Especially since you pretty much can only use it once per person.
I have it and love it! Mounted to milwaukee fuel m18 grinder, it spins that chain at >8000 rpm vs the dedicated chainsaw's 6000rpm. Guess which gets more done faster? 😎Gotta not be stupid with a chainsaw regardless of the design, and it needs light oil to stay lubricated, but what a HOG!
Space heaters competition would be cool! Point out safety concerns could be helpful as well. Also a garage heater as a separate video. I almost exclusively buy according to testing on your videos when searching a new tool or products. Great work!
Look up technology connections videos on them. TLDR fan units work better just make sure they comply with safety standards, so anything in most shops. I have a few cheap chinese units that meet local standards and the tip over and overheat protections work.
@@SpencerHHO Eh, he doesn't do much (or sometimes any) research into what he says, so his advice is HIGHLY subjective/opinion based. For example he flat out said he wouldn't recommend anyone use dual sensor smoke alarms because he didn't know if they'd wait for both sensors to trip before activating the alarm. All he had to do was make a simple and quick phone call to FirstAlert or Kidde and ask them, and he'd have learned that no they don't stupidly wait for both sensors to trip before activating the alarm. Or, you know, do a 5 second google search.
Would love to see a video of you working through a project (engine rebuild, etc.). One time with all of the top performing tools and another time with all the poorest performing tools. You could then compare the time saved, end quality, etc.
While it would be a good video and informative. I afraid that with all the keyboard warriors and basement dwellers out here in Everyone's Tube land all the "your doing it wrong" "I would never do it like that" "I am a professional and that will never last" and every other BS comment you could think of would fill up the comment section. I see videos from professionals that are masters in their chosen field. They post something they are doing and holy crap, half of the comments are from some wingnut that still lives in his mommas basement but feels the need to tell him or her what they are doing wrong. They normally stay away from his testing channel because it involves working with a tool. Most of them couldn't find the power switch or even operate it so they stay away.
As someone who has hundreds of thousands of Osage orange saplings and trees I thank you for adding it to your test process! Would love to it used more often for saws, even lighting use on that heavy stuff abuses tools.
The tube belt sander attachment may be very useful for those of us that restore old bicycles. I've had to strip damaged/rusty paint off skip find "gas pipe" frames and I've tended to use flap wheels on an old drill. That looks much better and faster.
I read somewhere that electric chain saws should use winter weight chain lube year round. It's thinner and more able to pass through the smaller oiler port(s). In addition, the oil sample that came with my electric saw did seem thinner than the regular stuff.
^This. Using light weight oil lets it load into the chain. The oiler cap is easily lost so you'll need to make a replacement cork at some point, but using light oil or cutting the oil you have will get the job done!
Very interesting! Both belt sanders surprised me. I have an old seldom used Dynabrade Dynafile. The small belt sander would do its job for occasional use. The larger “slack belt” setup for round stock is one to keep in mind. I note you did not test the attachment most people consider TOO dangerous, the “carving disc” with chainsaw teeth.😮 Thanks for the rundown on these gadgets.
@@BloopTubeat least they probably won't explode like side loading a cut-off wheel but if it came loose and fell off you would have yourself a really sketchy situation.
Another idea, not sure if you've done it yet but heat resistant spray paint or paints in general (especially considering cost per oz and various additives they offer, abrasion resistance, ect)
As someone who strip rust and paint almost every day at work this video was very helpful. I usually use a coarse cup wheel but will start to use the flat wheel style. We like to have some abrasion left for paint adhesion.
As someone who uses wire wheels on grinders I’d say it’s worth getting a grinder with speed adjustment and also that those metal wires end up flying off everywhere which is a big negative, I do however use a strong magnet cleaning tool to collect them but that’s in itself another job to do
I have a Black & Decker Matrix drill, that has a whole bunch of attachments kind of like this, and they're all pretty useful in their own right as long as you know their limitations.
I recently redid an old rusty wheel barrow and a combo of the wire cup wheel and strip disc did really good to take down the paint and rust. Didnt want to use a flap disc for fear of damaging the metal. Really enjoyed this video; mirrored what i have seen in my own limited testing.
First of all, thank you! Your videos help me find tools, utilities, etc. that last and are reliable. Secondly, I'd also like to let you know that some of your older comparisons 'may' need updating (Rechargeable Batteries for example) that is the major downside to making videos about anything technology/maintenance/media/etc. Side note: I have made a very early concept for a Cobalt Drill battery -> Milwaukee Drill converter. Only downside is the model I made gets very hot (103°F), I think I need to rework the heat shield for the converter box. (3D printers have nearly unlimited) potential.
I wouldn't have thought that any of those janky looking grinder attachments would be any good, but some of them turned out surprisingly good. Love this channel for exploring weird stuff like this and sorting out the good from the bad so we don't have to waste money
I've used most of these products in my battles with mill scale and rust, and ended up on random orbitals for flat surfaces (with cheap discs) and belt sanders for tubing. Ultimately, I think a sand blaster is what I've needed all these years, but have never invested in one.
For smaller items I find that a dilute acid soak works best on mill scale and rust. If you need to clean a 4 x 8 sheet though sand blasting might be the cheapest if not the fastest.
This Makita is the exact same model as mine. Used it while working a welding job at bought one for myself shortly afterwards. It's dangerous to begin with, but these attachments are something else. Great work as always!
If you have a variable speed angle grinder (you should, they are awesome) then a drill chuck is a great accessory. Not really all that useful for drilling but it allows you to fit all kinds of spindle based attachments to your AG that you wouldn't normally be able to use.
That was a fun and useful video! Those narrow "finger" belt sanders are invaluable for sanding the weld down on the inside of square tube so one will slide inside another. And I love the one that sands the outside of round tube, I'd happily buy an extra HF angle grinder and dedicate it to that.
The outside grinder is also great for regrinding cams,or changing a camshaft lobes profile for higher lift(by removing however many thousandths from the non lobe side),to changing duration(by removing top of the lobe slightly for longer,or both sides,making profile steeper,and the bottom non lobe side and adjusting valves appropriately) as long as one doesn't sand or grind beyond the hardening..
The belt sanders are the only tools I would consider. I could have used both of those one different projects and would save TONS of garage space and money. Everything else is one of those things where the specific tool should be used.
Great job! Those 2 sanding belt things actually looked pretty cool.... Also very interesting to see all those pads tested..... Everyone has their "little favorites", so it's interesting to see how the other ones really work.... Very nice. Great job.
@@ProjectFarm exactly. If the bit snagged the grinder went flying, or did it's best to break your arm. It is a good example of 'just because you can does not mean you should '
@@Eargesplitten-Loudenboomer needed a shorter drill to drill under the dash of the truck, and didn't have the cash for a right angle drill. So I welded the chuch and shaft from a broken drill to a socket and the socket to an old grinder nut.
An adjustable speed angle grinder seems to be a must for most of these attachments. But even in "normal" use speed adjustment is very useful. It gives so much more control over whatever you are doing and I use it all the time.
Love the finger remover portion and the flap disc portion. You're doing amazing work and I check your channel for reviews before buying any garage product these days. Best change i ever made was to the Diablo Cut off discs you did a while back.
I think since cold weather is coming up you should test the best winter gloves, how insulating they are, how waterproof, etc. Keep up the great work i love this channel.
I bought the belt sander for tubing and used it to sand large round overs in my wood shop last night. Only took me a couple minutes to set it up and it worked great! I'm sure I will be using it quite often. Wanted to try one for a while now but was skeptical until I saw your video. Thanks and all the best to you!
I could see the belt sanding attachments coming in handy for knife enthusiasts. I like the way the triangle one did, and I've thought about getting it in the past, but just wasn't sure about it.
A great addendum to the stripping disc tests would be a controlled test that would show heat over time buildup. I mention that for autobody guys that need efficiency with as little heat concentration as possible to minimize oil-canning the body panels. It's easy to armchair these things as a viewer. Great vid
Wow Todd, I'm very glad you came through this test unscathed! I think I'll go with power tools that are made for specified tasks. Thanks for the video and your courage!
With all the cheap power tools out there today, and considering the time and mods it takes to make these accessories actually work on a grinder, I would just buy a drill if I needed one or a circular saw and so on. But these videos are always awesome and you always impress me with the time you put into making them.
Three million subscribers. Well done and congratulations! It has been a great six years. Keep up the awesome work. If, or when, you test oil additives again could you throw some GoNMF into the mix? I think the first test I saw of yours was for Motor-Kote. I love your content, style and really appreciate your tight editing.
Can you do a video on the best gutter cleaning method (pressure washer vs. wet/dry vac vs. leaf blower) and what attachment works best? Thanks! Your channel is my go-to for these kind of things!
This video was really helpful to see how the different paint removal attachments work. I have a restoration project this fall for my old tractor, so this video came at a great time. Keep up the great work! ~ From a long-time, viewer.
The second belt sander is a pipe/tuber sander as other co's call them. Insanely handy tool for people who make custom handrails and gates. That one really caught my attention
The belt sander attachments are actually pretty rad! If they made an extra thin version it would be great for removing spot welds. Congrats on 3M subs!
What excellent timing! I just picked up a variable speed angle grinder and have been looking into unconventional attachments. I've been enjoying my diamond grinder for flattening concrete. I bought that same red wire brush set! Holds up very well for debarking wood. I had no idea half these attachments existed. Thanks for providing these demonstrations.
Even If you have very good Health Insurance I would not buy any of the angle grinder attachments even the belt sander was a POS .. An angle grinder is only used for light to medium duty work not to be used as a Chainsaw or a HD paint stripper
Unconventional attachments on angle grinders are a great way to lose your fingers. I know guys that use angle grinders daily so plenty of experience with a fairly dangerous tool and none of them use those attachments.
The little belt sanders like the one you have are essential to my automotive shop. I use them constantly for different things but I most commonly use them for cleaning rust off of brake caliper brackets during brake jobs. A good brand name air powered one is $650!
Brilliant and entertaining work! I appreciate the sort of two part video. I really needed the wire brush part. I understand now the different methods and uses. Man, just a great video all around. Thank you so much for this.
This was fun to watch, glad you didn't get hurt. I've seen a few horrible and potentially deadly accidents with some disc blades. One had a chain saw type blade and it got away from a fella due to kickback and climbed up his shirt and attacked his face and neck before he got it shut off. Definitely possibly deadly, and he now looks like Frankenstein.
I'd love to see what the best head gasket sealer is! I've seen a lot of testimony on both sides of the aisle, and I'm on the fence. Having you test them out would greatly help!
Should've saved this one for Halloween! Also was waiting to see the 10-1/4 circular saw blade attached directly to the angle grinder with the guard removed and attached to a pole with zip ties or hose clamps.
I milled out the center of a 5" carbide tip circular saw blade to use on a cordless grinder, it works awesome. Cuts 5/16 aluminum like it's butter. Didn't believe it would work until I tried it. Also got a 5" disc with chainsaw chain attatched, does wonders on wood carving. Both of them are darwin award keys.
I think this video already proves that... The only one I would even consider would be the belt sander, only because the real tool probably costs too much, but even that one seems a little sketchy. The rest are for losing fingers and eyes!
But you did just see that... That was this video. He compared almost all of them to the correct tool. All your questions were answered. Almost nothing here makes sense to buy or use. He even said he doesn't recommend it after every one except the sanders. -Drill He had to modify it to fit, worked but way too fast, will work harden steel as he said, super awkward to hold, and 10k rpm drill bit catching would not be fun. I assume everyone has seen or used a drill not sure if a comparison is needed, normal drill is variable speed for various types of material and drill bit sizes plus it's easier to hold. Infinity better and you can get a drill really cheaply. -Chainsaw, didn't fit at first, oil didn't work. He compared a cheap HF electric chainsaw and it was marginally faster but bounced around. -Circular Saw, again had to modify to work, had to remove the side panel, dust collection didn't work. He then compared it to the actual tool and it was much slower. You can also buy a 4 1/2" saw for not much. -Hedge Trimmer had to modify it to fit. Seemed too fast to me. He then compared it to an electric hedge trimmer. You can buy a dedicated electric hedge trimmer with better spacing for less than the attachment cost. -Belt "finger" Sander, worked reasonably well. He compared it to a flap disc. You can buy a dedicated sander like this for about the same cost as the attachment. -Belt "pipe" Sander, actually worked pretty well. I don't know of a comparable tool especially not at a good price. This looks like it would be worth having if it's something you need. -Chisel, had to modify it and it didn't work at all. No point in comparing a non-functional tool. -Oscillating Tool, had to modify it to work. Compared it to the actual tool and it was much worse. He seems to have a ton of different angle grinders and still had to keep switching between them, modifying, and tapping or cutting almost every time. You would need to buy an assortment of angle grinders, modify everything so it fits, buy the attachments that cost as much as the actual tool. You now spent way more money and time to have tools that work worse than the actual thing. I would really question the durability. You need to spend time switching the attachments vs just grabbing a tool meant to do that job. Not worth the hassle.
When removing rust with a flap disc if you lay it completely flat and basically use the inside edge to remove the bulk surface rust and then use it on a proper angle you can use the entire disc to get more done faster and leave a much cleaner finish
My Ninja 300 can take it, as it has meets JASO standart, But I stick with Castrol Actevo 10W40 , even cheaper than Rotella T6, case of 6 bottles usually goes around 37$. Again, I would recommend the oil what actually your bike takes... ✌️
I have had a drill chuck on an old Black and Decker two speed sander/polisher for about 25 years. coupled to a flexible 5" sanding pad, it is great. the Wolfcraft biscuit jointer attachment for an angle grinder is another great tool that i have had for over 25 years. biscuits are faster, stronger and better than any other method of joining wood.
I have seen these used in China, but you are doing it all wrong! Get rid of all that needless safety equipment and your shoes and socks. Now hold down what you are cutting with your feet and that should do it.
Thank you, I didn't need 5 of my toes anymore anyway, and I saved $80 on a vise. I also dropped 1 whole pound so I'm healthier than ever aside from the blood poisoning.
The wire brush attachments are dangerous without eye protection on the Milwaukee right angle die grinder. It sends little pieces of metal everywhere and they hurt when they hit your body.
Can’t tell you enough how much I enjoy your channel, I would love to see a video on why the box of a truck becomes a huge vacuum for dust when it has a cover on it and what can be done to reduce it. Thanks again for all the work you put into these videos.
A chainsaw and wood grinding attachment will never work well due to lack of safety mechanisms required to be designed and implementd from the ground up. Stay away from these if you value your life! Thank you for the educational safety video.
As someone who does a lot of de-limbing I think I kinda disagree. I have a knock off Makita grinder with a 12” blade and I’ve never had an issue and the grinder has an anti kickback and blade adjustment speed button which probably helps
@@maxbrinker9333 That's fair enough. I've never tested any. However, time and again, I see either extremely dangerous videos of them in use or, in one case, a reputable TH-camr, Stumpy Nubs, expounding on the danger of a wood shaping angle grinder attachment. If they work for you, fair play but remember, they are not a purpose built tool but an add-on for a completely different tool. While it may be repurposing a motor, I stand by what I said about safety needing to be considered at design time and implemented with the original too.

Your experience with the various kinds of wheels matches mine. I find the paint stripper wheels are the best for removing rust on certain shapes, but they do wear out fast. I've never found much difference between the brands, so I just get whatever is cheapest. I'll have to try the scouring pads, but I think I'll pass on the various attachments. Thanks for another great video.
Even when I don’t watch the full video, my wife and I hover over long enough for the preview to come on and listen for your laugh talk thing you do. It’s the purest form of happiness we’ve ever seen. Thanks again for providing clear, repeatable, objective reviews. Don’t ever stop!
A few quick words about the stripper discs! First- run them on a grinder that spins at 10k RPM or less. They would tear apart quickly for me on my 12k RPM grinders but when I switched to a 10k RPM, they last forever and work awesome. It's also worth noting that they are incredibly efficient at removing mill scale from steel! Great for prepping before welding. Wire wheels can't cut through the mill scale unless you're buying really expensive ones but even cheap Amazon stripper discs work great. Hopefully this helps you fellow viewers. Thanks for the video!
I've used those grinder chain saw attachment. The oiler worked for me. Works okay, but not much in terms of safety features. You need to make sure that the chain has the right tension. I've replaced it with a cordless chainsaw.
Thank you for the comparison of different wheels removing rust and paint. I would have never considered a strip disk. After today, my grinder disk assortment will evolve. Thank you project farm. And way to go on 3M subscribers. Very impressive!
I just started welding school and would love to see videos about welding gloves and jackets to see which ones have better dexterity, better protection to extreme heat and which ones start to dry out and become stiff from the heat
Great video! Always wondered about the practical uses for these attachments. Got an idea for you. Testing different brands of auto parts, filters, brake pads, shocks ball joints etc.
The belt sander attachment is actually based on a tool that already exists (literally a belt sander that is built on an angle grinder frame, available from Harbor Freight, Eastwood, and some others) but with the added benefit of being removable and not needing to take up all the space of a separate tool. Having used them ( we have a couple), I could also see the benefit of being able to hook it up to a more powerful angle grinder. For some reason, that drill adapter made me think of the "drill" Jaime made on Mythbusters out of a vacuum motor, a drill bit, and electrical tape. Another great video. 👍
As always, great test! But when you tested non-voven fiber discs, you should have been using it under lower rpm(it even written on the product), as it really chews through them on higher rpms.
Congrats on 3Mil subs! You deserve it! That being said, the two belt sander attachments seem like clear winners. When you unpacked the first, I would never have thought of turning an angle grinder into a dynafile, but that's a terrific add on if it works on your grinder. It probably shines best deburring or shaping metal over wood. Dynafiles are terrific tools for more precise work and spot work on materials like metal and lexan in my experience. That belt sander was perfect for the tube though as well. Tubes are always a pain to get sanded just right and someone thought that one out.
Great video as usual! I don’t believe you’ve done a video about “cutting oil” vs non cutting oil when drilling and tapping. I’d like to see if it “really” makes a difference? Thanks.
I do structural metal repair. I have to remove POUNDS of rust and paint every day to prep the metals for welding. I love the tests you do because it shows a great comparison. But i wanted to add a profesional and real world perspective. For whatever its worth at least. I have tested almost every brand of grinder disks, cutting disk, wire wheel etc. What i find works the best for rust is a good quality wire wheel. It is the best at getting every bit of rust out of the pitting which eliminates porosity in welding. And for paint, i use the paint strip disks, then use a wire brush to get any residule left in the steel. Keep the videos coming. I watch religiously to keep up on the best tools for the buck.

Thank you!
Even more dangerous might be the "chainsaw" discs. If they jam you could be hurt badly.
@@waynejohnson1500 He might have purposely left out the chainsaw discs. I know a popular TH-camr was seriously injured using one.
Angle grinders are scary enough, without adding a sketchy attachment.
Dumb ways to die 😅
What a fantastic mix of sketchy finger removers, and surprisingly good attachments like the belt sander.
There's also sketchier version of belt sander, salt bender.
Sketchy finger removers was my exact thought.

You are literally the only one who has a problem here, which means maybe you are the one thats wrong. Go get a life.
kick rocks@@KStewart-th4sk
Many factories I do work in have banned all wire brushes because of too many people picking broken wires out of body parts. Somewhere on the internet is at least one close-up photo of a wire sticking out of someone's eyeball and that is the one thing which finally got me to be super diligent with eye protection rather than a bit lazy at times.
As always, great tests. Wish I could give 2 thumbs up on this one because it is sort of 2 different videos in one.
And if any little bit remains in your eye and you get a MRI pop!!! it comes back out.
Next episode; turning a chainsaw into an angle grinder!
Great work, very informative on the paint and rust removal. Really helps those who have not had to do a large job, to pick the right tool for it!
Thanks!
With the rust removal, it looks like two or more passes with different wire brushes. Use the one that did well getting into the pits (fire?), but poorer one the general removal, then do a pass with the one that did a great job but did not get into the pits (thick?).
it's called a chop saw, or concrete saw...... been done.... for literally close to 100 years.... try again
I believe the remark was sarcastic. I had a good laugh myself. chill @@nimwit0
The unbelievable danger of all the attachments is next level! The first couple of items seem to be just dangerous and I agree with you that I wouldn't recommend them. The belt sanders were actually useful. Thanks for another great video!
You are welcome!
The question is, are they more dangerous than wearing leather gloves while using a grinder?
Safety equipment is for people who don't pay attention
@@florpdorp7190 You be sure and tell em that when they are fitting you for a glass eye.
@@Milkmans_Son ok well we all know how dangerous guns can be but wee use them and are cautious ⚠️ and safe just as wee should be with tools without safety
Not only do I respect you as a great human being doing a service for millions of people by making these videos, I also very much enjoy watching your vids. Thanks.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I had no idea these attachment tools were available. Some do look sketchy, but a couple looked pretty good. The comparison with the rust and paint removal discs/cups was great. Sometimes speed is important, while other times not damaging the old surface matters more.
Great test! I learn so much from these videos!
Thanks! Glad to hear!
I definitely enjoy this kind of "other" content that you polled us for!
As a younger viewer I actually really enjoyed seeing the attachments and their applications in real life work scenarios. My personal favorite from this video must be the belt sander attachment. The pipe one I had no idea such a thing even existed, but the belt sander itself is nice for the people who don't want to buy a large tool that they'd use 2-3 times a year and prefer a cheaper and more compact version of it instead. It somehow gets a good job done too, nice find!
Also that final test really opened my eyes as to *just how much* the paint coating can help against rust. Educational and fun at the same time, I really like these gadget reviews. If you could test some random vacuum cleaner attachments (either regular vac or shop vac) I think it would make a pretty interesting video as well. I don't know if there's various attachments but considering my new vacuum cleaner came with about 4-5 attachments, I believe that there should be random misc. attachments out on the market as well?
Anyways, whether you decide to continue making these or not - We enjoy this content too and like I said, I personally loved seeing the things get put to real work tests so I can understand what the tool is used for way better.
Have a nice day/evening Todd, and thank you for the dedication to this channel!
My freind I completely agree. He recently liked a comment of mine where I recommended he do house appliances. Specifically I want to know if some of the claims and different tools associated with consumer vaccumes/carpet shampooers are true or not. I have had very mixed results all across the price ranges on these two items. I also agree about that belt sander. What a real find!
There are definitely accessory kits for vacuums, biggest issue is having a vacuum with a house size that will fit the attachments.
I found a bunch on Amazon, and i think the one i ended up buying was a car cleaning kit for a vacuum with a 2 inch house
I never plan on buying most of the things you make videos on but you're always so entertaining while being extremely informative. Hands down the best review channel! If you get the chance I would love to see a video on rotary tools, especially Dremel.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Rotary tools would be a cool video
That finger sander attachment has a whole world of uses. I found one at harbor freight about 25 years ago and put it on an air grinder. It turned out to be so useful that I left it on and got a second angle grinder.
I really like the look of that pipe sander. Maybe I'll be getting a 3rd angle grinder. :D
Thanks for the feedback.
I wish DeWalt made a finger sander tool
You're a braver man than I am. I wouldn't get near a chain saw attachment, a chain saw is something I want a dedicated machine for.
I had no idea you could make an angle grinder more scary. Thanks for enlightening us. Hope everyone keeps all their fingers and such after being tempted by the chainsaw attachment.
Thank you for sharing!
I like the bomb-defuser attachment myself; although the lion-tamer adapter is also cool. And the real-time rocket engine exhaust aimer jig is a neat idea, but not sure I would use it enough to justify the cost. Especially since you pretty much can only use it once per person.
I have it and love it! Mounted to milwaukee fuel m18 grinder, it spins that chain at >8000 rpm vs the dedicated chainsaw's 6000rpm. Guess which gets more done faster? 😎Gotta not be stupid with a chainsaw regardless of the design, and it needs light oil to stay lubricated, but what a HOG!
All items available from Final Destination Inc.
Space heaters competition would be cool! Point out safety concerns could be helpful as well. Also a garage heater as a separate video. I almost exclusively buy according to testing on your videos when searching a new tool or products. Great work!
Look up technology connections videos on them.
TLDR fan units work better just make sure they comply with safety standards, so anything in most shops. I have a few cheap chinese units that meet local standards and the tip over and overheat protections work.
yes this would be awesome
@@SpencerHHO Eh, he doesn't do much (or sometimes any) research into what he says, so his advice is HIGHLY subjective/opinion based.
For example he flat out said he wouldn't recommend anyone use dual sensor smoke alarms because he didn't know if they'd wait for both sensors to trip before activating the alarm. All he had to do was make a simple and quick phone call to FirstAlert or Kidde and ask them, and he'd have learned that no they don't stupidly wait for both sensors to trip before activating the alarm. Or, you know, do a 5 second google search.
Would love to see a video of you working through a project (engine rebuild, etc.). One time with all of the top performing tools and another time with all the poorest performing tools. You could then compare the time saved, end quality, etc.
Great suggestion!
I second this idea! I would love to see that.
I concur, it doesn’t have to be a complex or large engine. Just maybe a small tractor engine or something of that nature.
It would have to be something he is already very experienced with. If not, the second go around of doing something is typically faster.
While it would be a good video and informative. I afraid that with all the keyboard warriors and basement dwellers out here in Everyone's Tube land all the "your doing it wrong" "I would never do it like that" "I am a professional and that will never last" and every other BS comment you could think of would fill up the comment section.
I see videos from professionals that are masters in their chosen field. They post something they are doing and holy crap, half of the comments are from some wingnut that still lives in his mommas basement but feels the need to tell him or her what they are doing wrong.
They normally stay away from his testing channel because it involves working with a tool. Most of them couldn't find the power switch or even operate it so they stay away.
As someone who has hundreds of thousands of Osage orange saplings and trees I thank you for adding it to your test process! Would love to it used more often for saws, even lighting use on that heavy stuff abuses tools.
You are welcome!
The tube belt sander attachment may be very useful for those of us that restore old bicycles. I've had to strip damaged/rusty paint off skip find "gas pipe" frames and I've tended to use flap wheels on an old drill. That looks much better and faster.
Thanks for the feedback.
I read somewhere that electric chain saws should use winter weight chain lube year round. It's thinner and more able to pass through the smaller oiler port(s). In addition, the oil sample that came with my electric saw did seem thinner than the regular stuff.
^This. Using light weight oil lets it load into the chain. The oiler cap is easily lost so you'll need to make a replacement cork at some point, but using light oil or cutting the oil you have will get the job done!
Very interesting! Both belt sanders surprised me. I have an old seldom used Dynabrade Dynafile. The small belt sander would do its job for occasional use. The larger “slack belt” setup for round stock is one to keep in mind. I note you did not test the attachment most people consider TOO dangerous, the “carving disc” with chainsaw teeth.😮 Thanks for the rundown on these gadgets.
You are welcome!
Kutzall carving discs are the "proper" tool equivalent for those chainsaw discs.
@@BloopTubeat least they probably won't explode like side loading a cut-off wheel but if it came loose and fell off you would have yourself a really sketchy situation.
Another idea, not sure if you've done it yet but heat resistant spray paint or paints in general (especially considering cost per oz and various additives they offer, abrasion resistance, ect)
Thanks for the suggestion.
As someone who strip rust and paint almost every day at work this video was very helpful. I usually use a coarse cup wheel but will start to use the flat wheel style. We like to have some abrasion left for paint adhesion.
Thanks for sharing!
@@ProjectFarmbtw for most there is a speed limir thats why some were done for so fast
As someone who uses wire wheels on grinders I’d say it’s worth getting a grinder with speed adjustment and also that those metal wires end up flying off everywhere which is a big negative,
I do however use a strong magnet cleaning tool to collect them but that’s in itself another job to do
Thanks for sharing.
I have a Black & Decker Matrix drill, that has a whole bunch of attachments kind of like this, and they're all pretty useful in their own right as long as you know their limitations.
Good Point!
I recently redid an old rusty wheel barrow and a combo of the wire cup wheel and strip disc did really good to take down the paint and rust. Didnt want to use a flap disc for fear of damaging the metal. Really enjoyed this video; mirrored what i have seen in my own limited testing.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
First of all, thank you!
Your videos help me find tools, utilities, etc. that last and are reliable.
Secondly, I'd also like to let you know that some of your older comparisons 'may' need updating (Rechargeable Batteries for example) that is the major downside to making videos about anything technology/maintenance/media/etc.
Side note: I have made a very early concept for a Cobalt Drill battery -> Milwaukee Drill converter. Only downside is the model I made gets very hot (103°F), I think I need to rework the heat shield for the converter box.
(3D printers have nearly unlimited) potential.
Great recommendation! I'll see what I can do!
I wouldn't have thought that any of those janky looking grinder attachments would be any good, but some of them turned out surprisingly good. Love this channel for exploring weird stuff like this and sorting out the good from the bad so we don't have to waste money
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
I've used most of these products in my battles with mill scale and rust, and ended up on random orbitals for flat surfaces (with cheap discs) and belt sanders for tubing. Ultimately, I think a sand blaster is what I've needed all these years, but have never invested in one.
Thanks for the feedback.
For smaller items I find that a dilute acid soak works best on mill scale and rust. If you need to clean a 4 x 8 sheet though sand blasting might be the cheapest if not the fastest.
This Makita is the exact same model as mine. Used it while working a welding job at bought one for myself shortly afterwards. It's dangerous to begin with, but these attachments are something else. Great work as always!
Thank you for sharing!
If you have a variable speed angle grinder (you should, they are awesome) then a drill chuck is a great accessory. Not really all that useful for drilling but it allows you to fit all kinds of spindle based attachments to your AG that you wouldn't normally be able to use.
Thanks for sharing.
That was a fun and useful video! Those narrow "finger" belt sanders are invaluable for sanding the weld down on the inside of square tube so one will slide inside another. And I love the one that sands the outside of round tube, I'd happily buy an extra HF angle grinder and dedicate it to that.
The outside grinder is also great for regrinding cams,or changing a camshaft lobes profile for higher lift(by removing however many thousandths from the non lobe side),to changing duration(by removing top of the lobe slightly for longer,or both sides,making profile steeper,and the bottom non lobe side and adjusting valves appropriately) as long as one doesn't sand or grind beyond the hardening..
The belt sanders are the only tools I would consider. I could have used both of those one different projects and would save TONS of garage space and money. Everything else is one of those things where the specific tool should be used.
Thanks for the feedback.
Agreed 100% all the other ones just seemed sketchy AF!!!
Great job!
Those 2 sanding belt things actually looked pretty cool....
Also very interesting to see all those pads tested.....
Everyone has their "little favorites", so it's interesting to see how the other ones really work....
Very nice. Great job.
Thanks ad you are welcome!
I made a drill chuck for a grinder years ago. It was scary as can be.
Great point! Way too much speed!
@@ProjectFarm exactly. If the bit snagged the grinder went flying, or did it's best to break your arm. It is a good example of 'just because you can does not mean you should '
@@davidwilder7109 Did you do that just for fun, or was there a specific thing you were trying to do?
@@Eargesplitten-Loudenboomer needed a shorter drill to drill under the dash of the truck, and didn't have the cash for a right angle drill. So I welded the chuch and shaft from a broken drill to a socket and the socket to an old grinder nut.
@@davidwilder7109 Understandable. I thought using a 6" hole saw on wood was a death machine but I think angle grinder attachments take the cake.
Never knew there were attachments and adapters for angle grinders.
And after this video, I think there's a reason why I didn't know about those
Thanks for the feedback.
An adjustable speed angle grinder seems to be a must for most of these attachments. But even in "normal" use speed adjustment is very useful. It gives so much more control over whatever you are doing and I use it all the time.
Thanks for the feedback.
Love the finger remover portion and the flap disc portion. You're doing amazing work and I check your channel for reviews before buying any garage product these days. Best change i ever made was to the Diablo Cut off discs you did a while back.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I think since cold weather is coming up you should test the best winter gloves, how insulating they are, how waterproof, etc. Keep up the great work i love this channel.
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the video idea.
I bought the belt sander for tubing and used it to sand large round overs in my wood shop last night. Only took me a couple minutes to set it up and it worked great! I'm sure I will be using it quite often. Wanted to try one for a while now but was skeptical until I saw your video. Thanks and all the best to you!
You are welcome!
I could see the belt sanding attachments coming in handy for knife enthusiasts. I like the way the triangle one did, and I've thought about getting it in the past, but just wasn't sure about it.
Thanks for the feedback.
A great addendum to the stripping disc tests would be a controlled test that would show heat over time buildup. I mention that for autobody guys that need efficiency with as little heat concentration as possible to minimize oil-canning the body panels. It's easy to armchair these things as a viewer. Great vid
Thank you!
Wow Todd, I'm very glad you came through this test unscathed! I think I'll go with power tools that are made for specified tasks. Thanks for the video and your courage!
Thanks and you are welcome!
With all the cheap power tools out there today, and considering the time and mods it takes to make these accessories actually work on a grinder, I would just buy a drill if I needed one or a circular saw and so on. But these videos are always awesome and you always impress me with the time you put into making them.
Three million subscribers. Well done and congratulations! It has been a great six years. Keep up the awesome work. If, or when, you test oil additives again could you throw some GoNMF into the mix? I think the first test I saw of yours was for Motor-Kote. I love your content, style and really appreciate your tight editing.
Thanks so much! Thanks for the suggestion.
Can you do a video on the best gutter cleaning method (pressure washer vs. wet/dry vac vs. leaf blower) and what attachment works best? Thanks! Your channel is my go-to for these kind of things!
Thanks for the suggestion.
This video was really helpful to see how the different paint removal attachments work. I have a restoration project this fall for my old tractor, so this video came at a great time. Keep up the great work! ~ From a long-time, viewer.
Thanks for the suggestion. Glad it was helpful
I'm just loving all the incompatibility developments throughout this video.
So many people buy these only to find out they won't fit. Fortunately, I have lots of angle grinders held back from previous videos for this review.
The Full size belt Sander is sweet for tubing
I appreciate and repsect the time and effort you put into these very informative videos. I learn so much from these.
Thanks so much! Glad to hear!

The second belt sander is a pipe/tuber sander as other co's call them. Insanely handy tool for people who make custom handrails and gates. That one really caught my attention
Thanks for sharing.
Nice vid. It's a delight to learn about the existence and quality of new and obscure tools.
Thanks!
The belt sander attachments are actually pretty rad! If they made an extra thin version it would be great for removing spot welds. Congrats on 3M subs!
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
I am once again thanking you for your unending dedication to test things in a mostly unbiased way.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks and you are welcome!
What excellent timing! I just picked up a variable speed angle grinder and have been looking into unconventional attachments. I've been enjoying my diamond grinder for flattening concrete. I bought that same red wire brush set! Holds up very well for debarking wood.
I had no idea half these attachments existed. Thanks for providing these demonstrations.
Even If you have very good Health Insurance I would not buy any of the angle grinder attachments even the belt sander was a POS .. An angle grinder is only used for light to medium duty work not to be used as a Chainsaw or a HD paint stripper
Unconventional attachments on angle grinders are a great way to lose your fingers. I know guys that use angle grinders daily so plenty of experience with a fairly dangerous tool and none of them use those attachments.
Im always skeptical about attachments. I think that there is a reason for dedicated tools for a certain job. ✌️
-Best shop towel-
Great point!
The little belt sanders like the one you have are essential to my automotive shop. I use them constantly for different things but I most commonly use them for cleaning rust off of brake caliper brackets during brake jobs. A good brand name air powered one is $650!
Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant and entertaining work! I appreciate the sort of two part video. I really needed the wire brush part. I understand now the different methods and uses. Man, just a great video all around. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks and you are welcome!
This was fun to watch, glad you didn't get hurt. I've seen a few horrible and potentially deadly accidents with some disc blades. One had a chain saw type blade and it got away from a fella due to kickback and climbed up his shirt and attacked his face and neck before he got it shut off. Definitely possibly deadly, and he now looks like Frankenstein.
Thanks for sharing.
I'd never seen the scour pad wheel. That is perfect for one of my winter projects, restoring an old boat. Thanks!

I've seen a lot of testimony on both sides of the aisle, and I'm on the fence. Having you test them out would greatly help!
I think Chris fix did that was pretty good
Great suggestion! Thank you
Should've saved this one for Halloween! Also was waiting to see the 10-1/4 circular saw blade attached directly to the angle grinder with the guard removed and attached to a pole with zip ties or hose clamps.
I milled out the center of a 5" carbide tip circular saw blade to use on a cordless grinder, it works awesome. Cuts 5/16 aluminum like it's butter. Didn't believe it would work until I tried it. Also got a 5" disc with chainsaw chain attatched, does wonders on wood carving. Both of them are darwin award keys.
Bro. You are THEEEEE GOLD STANDARD of product testing
Suggested video - best heat wrapps, temperature resistant and durability test
Great suggestion!
I’d love to see this one. Also water resistance and shrink ratio.
i would love to see a direct comparison between using the dodgy attachments and using the correct tool to see which ones are actually worth the hassle
Thanks for the suggestion.
I think this video already proves that... The only one I would even consider would be the belt sander, only because the real tool probably costs too much, but even that one seems a little sketchy. The rest are for losing fingers and eyes!
He compared a few: hedge trimmer and oscillating tool
Did you even watch the video, he literally did that for several attachments. Use your two working brain cells and watch again
But you did just see that... That was this video. He compared almost all of them to the correct tool. All your questions were answered. Almost nothing here makes sense to buy or use. He even said he doesn't recommend it after every one except the sanders.
-Drill He had to modify it to fit, worked but way too fast, will work harden steel as he said, super awkward to hold, and 10k rpm drill bit catching would not be fun. I assume everyone has seen or used a drill not sure if a comparison is needed, normal drill is variable speed for various types of material and drill bit sizes plus it's easier to hold. Infinity better and you can get a drill really cheaply.
-Chainsaw, didn't fit at first, oil didn't work. He compared a cheap HF electric chainsaw and it was marginally faster but bounced around.
-Circular Saw, again had to modify to work, had to remove the side panel, dust collection didn't work. He then compared it to the actual tool and it was much slower. You can also buy a 4 1/2" saw for not much.
-Hedge Trimmer had to modify it to fit. Seemed too fast to me. He then compared it to an electric hedge trimmer. You can buy a dedicated electric hedge trimmer with better spacing for less than the attachment cost.
-Belt "finger" Sander, worked reasonably well. He compared it to a flap disc. You can buy a dedicated sander like this for about the same cost as the attachment.
-Belt "pipe" Sander, actually worked pretty well. I don't know of a comparable tool especially not at a good price. This looks like it would be worth having if it's something you need.
-Chisel, had to modify it and it didn't work at all. No point in comparing a non-functional tool.
-Oscillating Tool, had to modify it to work. Compared it to the actual tool and it was much worse.
He seems to have a ton of different angle grinders and still had to keep switching between them, modifying, and tapping or cutting almost every time. You would need to buy an assortment of angle grinders, modify everything so it fits, buy the attachments that cost as much as the actual tool. You now spent way more money and time to have tools that work worse than the actual thing. I would really question the durability. You need to spend time switching the attachments vs just grabbing a tool meant to do that job. Not worth the hassle.
When removing rust with a flap disc if you lay it completely flat and basically use the inside edge to remove the bulk surface rust and then use it on a proper angle you can use the entire disc to get more done faster and leave a much cleaner finish
I really like the finger sanding attachment, the genuine makita one is pretty new to the market and pricy for a single purpose tool.
Thanks!
Love your videos bro! Keep em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
My favorite is when I just bought something for a job after I've looked into it a ton, then you test it and I see I made the right choice.

I have had a drill chuck on an old Black and Decker two speed sander/polisher for about 25 years. coupled to a flexible 5" sanding pad, it is great. the Wolfcraft biscuit jointer attachment for an angle grinder is another great tool that i have had for over 25 years. biscuits are faster, stronger and better than any other method of joining wood.

Morning everyone
You're first! Hope you enjoy the video!
A chainsaw and wood grinding attachment will never work well due to lack of safety mechanisms required to be designed and implementd from the ground up. Stay away from these if you value your life! Thank you for the educational safety video.
Great point
Yup those are super sketchy .
As someone who does a lot of de-limbing I think I kinda disagree. I have a knock off Makita grinder with a 12” blade and I’ve never had an issue and the grinder has an anti kickback and blade adjustment speed button which probably helps
@@maxbrinker9333 That's fair enough. I've never tested any. However, time and again, I see either extremely dangerous videos of them in use or, in one case, a reputable TH-camr, Stumpy Nubs, expounding on the danger of a wood shaping angle grinder attachment. If they work for you, fair play but remember, they are not a purpose built tool but an add-on for a completely different tool. While it may be repurposing a motor, I stand by what I said about safety needing to be considered at design time and implemented with the original too.
@@CrookedSkew ah yes he wood shaping attachment is extremely dangerous I have one myself I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

Your experience with the various kinds of wheels matches mine. I find the paint stripper wheels are the best for removing rust on certain shapes, but they do wear out fast. I've never found much difference between the brands, so I just get whatever is cheapest. I'll have to try the scouring pads, but I think I'll pass on the various attachments. Thanks for another great video.

Thanks! Thanks for supporting the channel! I really appreciate it!
A few quick words about the stripper discs! First- run them on a grinder that spins at 10k RPM or less. They would tear apart quickly for me on my 12k RPM grinders but when I switched to a 10k RPM, they last forever and work awesome. It's also worth noting that they are incredibly efficient at removing mill scale from steel! Great for prepping before welding. Wire wheels can't cut through the mill scale unless you're buying really expensive ones but even cheap Amazon stripper discs work great. Hopefully this helps you fellow viewers. Thanks for the video!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I've used those grinder chain saw attachment. The oiler worked for me. Works okay, but not much in terms of safety features. You need to make sure that the chain has the right tension. I've replaced it with a cordless chainsaw.
Thank you for the comparison of different wheels removing rust and paint. I would have never considered a strip disk. After today, my grinder disk assortment will evolve. Thank you project farm. And way to go on 3M subscribers. Very impressive!
Thanks!
I just started welding school and would love to see videos about welding gloves and jackets to see which ones have better dexterity, better protection to extreme heat and which ones start to dry out and become stiff from the heat

Wow at how fast the Chain speed is on the Chainsaw attachment man that was fast cutting
Great video! Always wondered about the practical uses for these attachments. Got an idea for you. Testing different brands of auto parts, filters, brake pads, shocks ball joints etc.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I can't wait to watch this. I seen a few but the sander and the hedge clipper didn't look bad. I would be afraid to try some of the others.
Perfect timing. I was actually eyeing some of these attachments and wondering how they compare to the actual tools
The belt sander attachment is actually based on a tool that already exists (literally a belt sander that is built on an angle grinder frame, available from Harbor Freight, Eastwood, and some others) but with the added benefit of being removable and not needing to take up all the space of a separate tool. Having used them ( we have a couple), I could also see the benefit of being able to hook it up to a more powerful angle grinder. For some reason, that drill adapter made me think of the "drill" Jaime made on Mythbusters out of a vacuum motor, a drill bit, and electrical tape.
Another great video. 👍
Thanks!
As always, great test! But when you tested non-voven fiber discs, you should have been using it under lower rpm(it even written on the product), as it really chews through them on higher rpms.
Congrats on 3Mil subs! You deserve it! That being said, the two belt sander attachments seem like clear winners. When you unpacked the first, I would never have thought of turning an angle grinder into a dynafile, but that's a terrific add on if it works on your grinder. It probably shines best deburring or shaping metal over wood. Dynafiles are terrific tools for more precise work and spot work on materials like metal and lexan in my experience. That belt sander was perfect for the tube though as well. Tubes are always a pain to get sanded just right and someone thought that one out.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Great video as usual! I don’t believe you’ve done a video about “cutting oil” vs non cutting oil when drilling and tapping. I’d like to see if it “really” makes a difference? Thanks.
I do structural metal repair. I have to remove POUNDS of rust and paint every day to prep the metals for welding. I love the tests you do because it shows a great comparison. But i wanted to add a profesional and real world perspective. For whatever its worth at least. I have tested almost every brand of grinder disks, cutting disk, wire wheel etc. What i find works the best for rust is a good quality wire wheel. It is the best at getting every bit of rust out of the pitting which eliminates porosity in welding. And for paint, i use the paint strip disks, then use a wire brush to get any residule left in the steel. Keep the videos coming. I watch religiously to keep up on the best tools for the buck.
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the feedback.
My go to for any type of tool purchase, thanks for your comprehensive tests, like no other on youtube
Thanks and you are welcome!
Thanks for the idea of how to use the hedge trimmers to remove weeds on large areas.
You are welcome!
