C.S. Unitec Electric Paint Stripper -Paint Stripper -Concrete/Hard Material Kit -EOF 100 PCD Paint Remover Machine Removes: Dry Paint, Varnish, Latex, More-Hard Material Disc Included-Made in Germany

I used this to strip the side of my house that hadn't had the paint really touched (they just painted over cracked paint and such) for 60 years and it worked very well. It is heavy, thus one has to get used to the weight and take a break occasionally (I was working on a 2 story ladder.). It's expensive and there is a learning curve. One reviewer complained about the stop in the depth adjuster, it is supposed to be there to limit how deep one can go. If you have to, you can get around it, but if it's too deep, you are going to have problems. The first one I ordered (I bought the kit) did not have the blade or the nut for holding the blade on, Amazon was very helpful and sent a new unit right away that had all the parts. That blade is expensive, but it should last a long time if one doesn't use it to take out nails (:>), which I did a couple of times, but still works great. I also used it to remove 100-year-old paint and coatings off of some very nice old wood (oak and southern pine) and it worked well for that also. BTW, that blade can hurt DAMHIKT.

This product works! It mills a small thickness of material from flat surfaces. It saved countless hours removing chipped, flaking paint. Just know, it weighs about 7 lbs. So, with that and a vacuum hose attached ( if you're smart), you'll need to be prepared for tired arms.

Why would you advertise 13 amps when the motor itself only runs max at 9.6 amps?Yes those extra amp makes a difference, its one reason I went with the EOF 100 over the Paint Shaver Pro. Thought I was getting a stronger motor for less money.I'll be sending it back to Amazon to get the Paint Shaver Pro instead.Update: 5/9/21Besides the false advertisement of the 13amp motor. The machine does bog down a little but it does what they say it will. I just finally got a chance to use it and on my attemp to adjust the depth of the disc didn't go well, it is now stuck and the shroud no longer turns back freely. Amazon agreed to send another one while I send this back.. Hoping this is just a lemon and the next one will work. If it does I'll definitely raise this up to 4 stars regardless of the 13 amp motor being a 9.6 amp because it still saves time and money. Also just realized they updated their stock photo to 9.6 Amps instead of 13 amps. Thank you!Update 5/11/21My replacement unit came and its defective!! One of the notch that the depth adjustment pin goes in has something in it that won't allow full adjustment.I'm honestly starting to think they are the harbor freight of german tools. Downgrade from 2 stars to 1!!!!

Very heavy tool and blows dust in your face without a vacuum, but does an excellent job

comes with no blades incredibly expensive.well I've been using this shaver for weeks now, and once i got it "zeroed" then added one or two clicks down it works great. It's explained in the instructions. I complained earlier about not receiving any blades with the machine. I had to order them separately. Oh well. Once I practiced on some old boards with lots of built up paint I moved to my cedar siding and SYP trim. Quickly removes all the paint it can reach, I set it very shallow and leave it there and move back and forth several times and 5 layers of old paint gone nicely. I follow up with 60 and 80 grit random orbital sander, 1/4 sheet and mouse sanders for the corners. This product is heavy and appears rugged and well made. I hit several nails the blade did chip but I have done an area 12 X 12 including deep soffits, so far the blade cuts well, I even cut the tip off my pinky (skin), I learned to shut the thing off before adjusting. I hook the thing up to my dry vac, works great. All in all a real time saver, just set the blade so it barely cuts and the wood will have minimal damage for re-sanding.

It could use a handle at the rear of the unit

The paint shaver works perfectly well...I strip the whole house in 4 days ..My workers do light sanding in Whether boards and its looks great , ready to primer and paint .Thank you very much for this product..Montado painting and decorating Ltd .

It works very well for wooden surfaces ( paint and wood floor coatings). It will get 5 stars from me if it has variable speeds such as festool sanders or bosch sanders .
