Overview
The MBX ® Axial is specially designed to remove corrosion in areas that are difficult to reach – like door rabbets, roof joints, wheel housings - to create a blasted surface for superior adhesion. These characteristics make the Axial a perfect complement to the well-proven MBX ® systems. The MBX ® Axial tool can be used with MBX ® Belts. When equipped with an Accelerator Bar (optional purchase item, ZU-082 / ZU-083), it can also be used with Bristle Blaster ® Belts – for higher bristle impact and efficiency.
