## Description

3M Paint and Rust Stripper, 03171, 4 in

Review: Awesome product - Great product Won’t damage metal Removes rust and paint effortlessly
Review: Works like a champ, and better than a bench grinder for many applications - What can I say except that it does exactly what 3M claims it does. I'm using it as a make-do bench grinder using an old heavy-duty Black and Decker drill clamped in a vise, and I've only used it to remove rust from some old spring clamps, but it worked like a champ. My impression is that it's quite durable and should last a good while, especially if you don't jam the edge of a workpiece up against it and are otherwise careful about the direction of rotation. A bonus for me is that it's only 5/8: thick, which makes it easy to get into narrow spaces that a bench grinder can't, and you can approach it from almost any angle for even more versatility.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Have aluminum rollup door thats baked on paint and painted lettering on it. Will this remove the lettering paint and leave the baked on paint?**
A: This product will remove all paint if you are not careful.

**Q: Need to remove some elastomeric paint from a deck, anyone used this product for that sort of thing?**
A: Could work,  but would likely clog the disc. These are best for removing costings that will create dust and not build up in

**Q: 3m item 03173, add shows a (3pack) but what is the price. or do you have to buy 3 @ 9.40. ?**
A: the 9.40 price is from Amazon, so I am not really sure what they are doing. I am guessing for 9.40 you get just one wheel.

**Q: I have already polished steel parts with a wire wheel, and they're bright. What affect on appearance will using this have?**
A: My guess is it will be a duller metal polished finished. I've only used on aluminum and it left a gray matte finish. I was stripping to repaint so finish wasn't a concern.
