I've seen those, never used one...

It looks like a peice of crap to me. Gimicky thing made for homeowners and DIY'ers.

It looks interesting, but I doubt it does what they say.

I also think it looks like some home owner thing. If you are really thinking of buying one you can go to ebay, type spraytech, you can get one for 35$ with free shipping. I would recomend the old fashion way, with elbow grease.

I think the pad for this thing is made by 3M which in my book ,makes up for the crap factor given to it by the wagner name...let us know if it works as well as I think it will.....

I got one for christmas. It actually doesn't do that bad of a job on flat stuff. The only bad thing is if you wanna eat any of the paint off you have to use the edge of the pad, Which wears out the edge pretty fast. It is also pretty hard to get into corners and tight areas. If I had to go out and buy one I'd say probably not, But since it was a christmas present I use it when possible.

So is it safe to say the Makita disc grinder is still the tool to use on siding?
