There's no shroud around your fan, without a shroud your fan is only going to recirculate warm air around the engine bay. A shroud will force the fan to pull air through the rad for more efficient cooling.

God awful green? It looks sick.

Eastwood sounds like a well built tool no comparison to the others.

Wish the Eastwood came in a pneumatic version.

Great review! Thank you, sir!

I definitely will have to have one of these tools for rust removal on tools without chemicals

Buena comparación, gracias !!

Eastwood is known for being pricey.

The sound of angry wasps.

Slow the speed down they will work better !

I didn't have to watch the whole video after you used the Eastwood. Im sold.

Thanks for the video, and glad you're happy with it. With saddle mounts like yours, because of the squared tanks the insulator does require a little trimming to fit the tank. You can always find us at ChampionCooling.com, or email shop@ChampionCooling.com

I’ve got a c Parker no 1. Anybody know anything about it?

How much did you sell it for, I have one I'm curious what it's worth? I was buying something from some on CL, while I was at the guys house he asked if I needed a vice, I asked how much, he said five bucks, I said I can't take it for five bucks, how about 20. That was the best 20 I ever spent, not only did I get a great vice, he opened a cabinet and just started giving me stuff, it was his fathers model T stuff, couple jacks a cylinder hone, it was a couple boxes of pats and specialty tools. I got $150 for just two of the things in the box.

When Product Design Engineers who are also avid car guys who do their own car body work they turn out a "tool" you get this 9 amp, metal gear, large and natural grip, fully exposed large sanding drum that takes layers of paint, rust & bondo off in seconds without heating up your metal. That is Eastwood! When you have some spec written by marketing people in a conference room who never had so much as a spec of dirt under their finger nails and that spec goes thru layers of reviews from people who dont know which end of a screwdriver does what then finally sends it overseas to be mass produced with plastic gears and tiny toy motors you have Porter Cable, a once proud company, now hawking junk. Was PC's motor choice based on a cheap lot that was supposed to be fans or did someone just get bribed to buy reject RC toy car motors. What a wreck, from the tiny hard to hold, unnatural position handles to the tiny, barely exposed drum that forces you to always keep their "product" in same position. Junk, Junk, Junk. Eastwood, Great, Great, Great. Marketing geeks vs Real Car Guys, choice is clear.

How do you build it

I have a 974 , still has factory paint , used very little $275, 00 if ur interested HMU

The SCT Contour will get into tight body contours a lot better than the porter. Not all surfaces are flat.

I have model No, 104-4 since the 40's Still perfect.

I have chas Parker no.3.

For sale so how much?

Amazing condition!!!!! Great job in preserving it and not taking it too far!

Since you work for Eastwood please compare Eastwood to lincoln to miller thanks

Great video comparison! Thanks

Great video new sub here honest detailed and so much info thank you man

I got the contour and if u ask me it’s worth the price but $60 for accessories each is ridiculous but I won’t lie it definitely gets the job done in a timely manner#EASTWOODCONTOURISABEAST

I have the Eastwood Contour SCT and I like it. It does what it says. I am half way through stripping 4 coats of paint and primer off a big 50's car. I figure I will need only 2 - 3 media drums to finish the car. You don't go through that much media. Also I bought one drum on Amazon for cheap and it fits just fine. Definitely use a HEPA air filter, hearing and eye protection for safety!

I just noticed, mine has a swivel built in which is very nice.

Yeah. I have one. Still going. I stole it from an old employer that was relocating. It was on a shelf not being used at the time. I wish I could go back and pay for it somehow. Sigh

Very nice vice you have, and was wondering since it seems so factory fresh if you might remove the front sliding assembly in order to see how the nut was pinned into base. It could and would be a useful and important video for anyone rehabbing a Chas Parker vice. I'm working on a 954 1/2. The nut was held in by a bolt hammered in and bent over against the tapered dovetailed nut. (pretty much a hack job!)

I bought one, the versa cut 60, and so far it works great but as far as picking up consumables, industry standard would be considered Hypertherm, Lincoln or Miller at least in my part of the world. They are not available at tractor supply or airgas or harbor freight or anywhere else i have checked, 3 lws looked at me like i had 3 eyeballs when i ask for the trafimet cb70 consumables so just to let anybody know you will have to order them, at least in the central Al. area, but it is a pretty good machine for the price.

thanks for the info it is appreciated !!!!

Hey great informative video, as a backyard builder myself who only works on my own cars I think the Porter Cable is good enough for me as I'm not on a time crunch and I'm only stripping paint and don't need to go to bare metal unless I'm filling dings... Overall great video bud! 👍🏽👍🏽

I really did like you review. but one thing you forgot to do. you forgot to open them up and see what the quality is in them if one product uses a band system or the other product uses a gear system if they're plastic or they're steel gears things like that

Good shoot out. That fucking drum that goes on Eastwood is $60. Your lava pad grinder wins hands down.

Nice video , thanks for sharing

It's been over a year. Did you return one? How are they holding up? How long are drums lasting?

Lol I think I seen the drum has left hand treads because came off in the wrong direction

Remowe paint video cup brush Megaloder.

Watched a few Americans demoing these tools. Think about your HEALTH - Use Mask and Ear Defenders.

Big question - my local Lowe's is clearing all their restorer wheels out - the guys said Lowe's isn't carrying that tool anymore - almost no sales. Will the cheaper porter cable drums fit onto the Eastwood tool?

For me the Porter Cable would be to light duty for heavy automotive work. Looks like a woodworking tool, the Eastwood is for automotive.

After watching your review it depends on the use. For Auto Body I definitely agree, but I am a woodworker and would use it to restore antique tools, especially saws and handplanes and cast surfaces on power tools. The noise level of the Eastwood seemed really high and the lack of dust collection would be a real problem for me personally. Your review has me leaning toward the Porter Cable. Great job.

If it was apples to apples do not compare a "Wood tool to a body tool" !

Hey man ... Thank you for doin this breakdown. Very helpful 👍🏼 Been dying to get a tool to inpart a consistent grain similiar to a brushed stainless but cost was around 600$. So the 199 was a happy price for me. Thanks again.

Thank you for making this video very helpful!

1. Wear a mask ya big dummy ;) 2. Should have timed each one. 3. Should have had an infrared temp sensor to test each tool. And ya it might be twice the price but does twice the work

no mask?
