5 stars for now. Haven’t used it much yet. Check back in a few years to see if it’s still running.

Good quality at a reasonable price.

I bought this to help me strip the old finish off my Bridgeport milling machine. It worked really well on the flat surfaces and most of the radiused areas. In some of the areas where the name was cast into the iron, I had to remove all but three of the needles to get into some of the tight areas. But it got the job done. On rough areas where I really had to bear down on it, it would occasionally stall. But for the price I am pretty impressed. It seemed to blow a lot of oil everywhere, but I might have been over oiling it. Better too much than not enough! Would I buy it again? Yes, I would. This pistol grip model is way more user friendly that the straight-line model it replaced. My only regret it that it is kind of underpowered in comparison with my old one.

The employee took care of me very fast, they had to order the item and it arrived very fast.
