I bought one of the larger Needle Scalers from HF a few years ago when rebuilding the D17 S4
It worked much better than I thought it would, and made the paint removal a (relatively) easy task. Got into very tight corners.
They didnt have the smaller version then.
Make sure you use eye and ear protection!

| I have used the HF scaler and found it to be a good unit. I bought mine when they had a sale on them. It works best for me on cast iron and steel. Works but kinda slow on sheet metal. |

ask the parts store if they carry chicago pneumatic (CP). The part number is CP-7120. There are also generics out there. Sears should carry them as well. karl f

| How the dickens have you and the boys restored those tractors without one is what I want to know??? We have gone through a few of them and all of them we have owned from $150 units down to $20 HF cheapos beat themselves to bits in seemingly short order. We keep a couple HF cheapo scalers in stock now and give them a heave when they become a problem, seems like we are bette roff than when we were trying to keep the $150 I-R going. |

| Butch, I usually have sand blasted most of the cast iron parts, however its a costly and dirty job, so I thought with a new shop, warm and dry, I would try something different |

I bought a HF needle scalier a couple months ago to clean up the inside of some wheels, did a great job. I kind of avoid anything HF sells that has an electric motor but the quality does seem to be improving quite a bit. Don't buy the cheapo vice grips tho, bad investment!

Also works very well at removing rust and sl*g for welding. ------------- Uncle always said "Fill the back of the shovel and the front will take care of itself". |
