Yah Hey Der,
Some recent comments from you guys about using needle scalers for paint removal have me curious. I've never used one before and would like to know about your experiences with and preferences for them.
A catalog search revealed choices in the number, length, diameter, and material of needles; also barrel or pistol grip shape, and stroke length.
It appears that the "general duty" scalers have a longer stroke (1-2.5") while the "industrial duty" scalers have a shorter stroke range of (1/4 -1").
My anticipated uses are for paint and rust removal from cast iron and also for slag removal from an occasional welding project.
Thanks,
John
