Think of Wagner’s “PaintEater” as a rotary sander designed specially to handle large abrasive discs for removing paint. Wagner claims that it’s “hard on paint / easy on siding,” but one thing’s certain: it looks a whole lot faster than rubbing and scraping.
It was a pretty straightforward sounding project: paint two rooms in my parent’s house. A fairly simple and unassuming goal, right? My father (who is a Toolmonger like me) recently purchased a Wagner Paint Crew to accomplish said task.
The features sounded great: 3/8 HP. .2 gallons per minute. A two-gallon capacity hopper to increase spray time and convenience. A 25 foot spray hose attached to a professional-grade metal spray gun with a full-size in-line filter. It sounded like a quick and fast thing; We’d be done by halftime, yeah?
