Are drill bit attachments for spiral sanding available and where? Just to lift small bits of paint off wood.

Yeah, very easily available .I got some at Munich Hardware.

[Dave]

Righto. Munich is right down the road. Will check them.
Thanks. Were they nylon bristles?

Thought you were talking about the spiral sand paper bits for the Dremel like these

Oh no. It is to get paint from crevices in wood. Steel would be too abrasive but saw nylon ones on Amazon so that would be better suited for my need.

[maj. tom]

is it this you're referring to? Drill scouring pads?

[Dave]

That may work but saw this.

[timelapse]

They have those in the Dremel kit .I have a few
Freeport Marketing usually has stuff like that also

[timelapse]

Sandpaper not safer for what you want to do? I feel them bristles would dig into the wood even if is nylon

[*KRONIK*]

I bought a set
Waste of time
The bristles just spin out and turned in to a fan instead of maintaining their cup shape.

It will work for what u want, but maybe try a higher quality brand.

Bhagwanshingh used to have them, but i checked on 3 occassions and they didnt have.
So i bought online

[maj. tom]

Paint stripper then pressure washer? Well it depends on where the site is.

[Dave]

Haha. Did that. The crevices are tough and fed up soaking the door.

Thanks for the feedback Kronik!

They have in stock again as of about a month ago


Edit: I forgot to say the Trincity branch

[timelapse]

Heat gun?

[Dave]

POS Bhagwansingh didn't have any, only metal ones.
Going in those places reminds me why I hate shopping locally. There isn't anyone around to ask or help you.
Thanks all.

Ok
Good to know

But maybe you can buy 1 to try, i bought a cheap one from amazon to try
Maybe a branded version from bhags may perform better

[Dave]

Thanks Kronik. At this point Trincity isn't an on the way run so will do without.
Did a POS run yesterday so stopped Sea Lots to see.

[Chimera]

fellas...the surface cleaner attachment for the pressure washer is amazing

order one on amazon. you wont regret it

[maj. tom]

Did you get the one with wheels? Because the regular one with the bristles dragging on the ground is just going to wear out and twist up on concrete and that's why everyone always saying it's sheit and doesn't work. That type really meant for wooden decks and patio.


This is the one I got and it's amazing! Was about $150 USD.
Cut the work down by 5X I would say.

[Rovin]

thats something i looked at a few times & hear so much good about it online from many ppl but being a skeptic i hadda see 1 being used in real life to convince me especially when it not exactly cheap ....

[maj. tom]

Hadden have the industrial one with wheels too. Don't get the regular bristles one that going to rub on the concrete.

Boy once you see this thing in action you never going back to swinging pressure wand 300 times just to clean 1 square meter. I only use the wand for walls and the edges. A side of my house used to take a good 4 or 5 hours before I bought this. Now that side took 1 hour. I'll make a lil video to show you sometime.

[Chimera]

I buy the cheap one with the bristles for 60 usd

Paid like 200 in freight and fees.
Cost like 600

Wud see how long it last

[Chimera]

Btw I see ppl using this light duty one on walls and roofs

[Jerry84]

Anyone here ever used those total paint sprayers?
Worth it?
Or should I just drag out the compressor and spray gun. It's just to paint an external wall.

Which paint sprayer is this? Is it only for house paint or it could be used for automotive paint as well? Looking for something to paint over my wrought-iron front door.

[pugboy]

I got a gas container cover, the black one which goes over the pouring spout at ft farfan for $25 i think.

I see it's compatible with water based, oil paint and automotive paints.

Anyone using those Total pressure washers? How are they performing, are the accessories standard quick connect and any brand can work on it?

Was hoping hadden had some sales on karcher but its still $2,200 on a K4
