The right wheel for the surface

1,300 RPM · cordless. The gentler media for sensitive substrates: vinyl, reflecting foils, stickers, decals and adhesive residue with no marking.
Up to 3,500 RPM. The faster, harder media for stubborn double-sided tape, glue and PE/PP edge feathering on thicker, tougher surfaces.
One drive system
Both media run on the same cordless, electric variomatic and pneumatic drives via the quick click & go adaptor. No separate tool to buy.
