I'd prolly fall in love with it and end up giving away another house.

Sure looks tempting. If that thing works that well without eating up drums lickety-split it would get my vote, I've taken enough paint off the hard way. Might be on board for a dust mask though??? The guy in the video is gonna need to have his lungs squeegeed out.

We have something like that at work called a deck crawler. (it has metal teeth tho).
Technically it doesn't work any better than anything else, it just makes it easier to do. (In our case the alternative is a chipping hammer and a needlegun).
As Lenz says the real question is how fast does it use up the drums (which probably cost too much).

Click bait...lol
I think you'd have to be careful with heat build-up. It's easy to cause warping and more work.

Part of the video shows a heat gun measuring metal temp as it goes. Reading shows max of 115-118 degrees, which is actually cooler than these cars can get outside here in Arizona. I have several with top surfaces that have a light, baked rust layer. So this tool is of interest. Cost not much of a factor as it will be spread amongst several projects over time.
It seems to me that a truly effective paint strip involves many different techniques according to what section you are working on, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. As usual, I get overly analytical about things to the point where I stall on forward movement. Frustrating.

I think you should buy one & let us know how it works. Although I don't know why you would want to take that nice rusty patina off of a car these days. It seems the more rust the better. Somehow I resemble that remark. I do have some eastwood stuff & so far so good.

I came up with a novel way to afford this. Tomorrow night I'm going to drive over to ASU and lure some Hillary voters into dark areas with boxes of Kleenexes to cry into. Then I'll mug them for their money, phones, and crayons. Golden, right?

I'm not a big fan of patina, especially on numbers cars. I do have a couple practice cars to fiddle with before the $$ stuff, so we'll see how much of a butcher I am.

We had something like that when i worked with stainless to make that satin
finish that's on kitchenzinks and things like that. We did a lot of work for
....uhh that places where the farmers deliver their milk and they make
butter and stuff don't know the English name for it. They had really
high demand on the finish so there was no cracks or scratches where
bacteria could start growing Super expensive machine in the 90s.
the drums lasted a long time if you don't grounded over a sharp corner
