I'm a disabled Vet, and my hands can't handle using heavy tools for more than a few minutes at a time. This tool is lightweight, and I can tell the design will be much easier for me to use. I believe this tool is a must for every home enthusiast! I haven't had the chance to use on yet, and I can't wait... I'm really looking forward to using this tool!

I have just purchased one and impressed with it. One thing I would add is that it is hard work to use and after an hour of use you know you been working! I bought a wire brush drum for it from a seller on eBay and to see it in action is amazing. The SCT is not scared of hard work! You can really work it as hard as you can and it just shrugs it off. You don't need a gym subscription when you using this tool, cancel gym and but one with the money!?. One of the best tools to come onto the market in years.

Oh.... For crying out loud Matt.... You have the handle on the machine backwards. It is suppose to arch forward, over the drum... your working too hard with it the way you have it because you lost the leverage the curve was intended to provide! Great tool by the way. Absolutely LOVE this thing

[andrewwilson]

The only problem with the SCT is getting it back from friends who have borrowed it to see what it is like to use! So far everyone has been very reluctant to give it back, they love it! Owning one makes you very popular with your car owning friends.

Where was this tool when I was doing a lot of body work in the late 80's and early 90's!!!! I need to get one before I start my next project.

[andrewwilson]

As an asides I also clip my dust extractor to the handle to extract the dust.works very well. I have used a light spritz of water to stop sanding belts clogging up and have a lump of what looks like latex that cleans clogged belts by rubbing them when it's running. Not sure who makes it as picked it up after a demonstration at a restoration show a couple of years ago.

Shared on facebook, this would be awesome for my 1971 Datsun 240z build.  It's my first real project car and I'm documenting the whole thing on youtube.  I plan on painting it in the next couple months and this would be perfect to prepare the metal for paint.

I use a strong furniture stripper, paint it on scrap it off down to metal with a simple bondo blade. Your ready for 800 grit paper that fast. Takes 15 min to bubble paint

First off I bought the Contour SCT when it first came out with Eastwood. Love it!
I think Matt could have talked less and more time demontrating the SCT. I would share but dont think my friends could sit for 33 minutes watching him drum about 2 square feet of fender. He would have run the SCT up and down the fender this way keeping the drum a lot more flatter. He was going left to right on the top of the fender which has more contour there, I thought he was going to switch in that direction when he talked about the edges going off the fender. You definetly can tell when he showed the drum with the sand paper only the center used. Matt needs to carry spare shirts as he had a hole on the bottom. Not good for a live feed
Best to use the SCT in the direction that is the most flattest. Still can do contour areas as Matt deminstrated.
Buy one you. Well worth the cost.

How is it that I could smell the grinding of that fender haha 🤣 I absolutely love the SCT I own one but this lacquer paint explains exactly why you use aircraft striper for ridding yourself of it!

Looking at these tools gets me excited to work on my car 😬

[lochnessfox]

Hi Matt. I’m a great fan of yours. I’ve been watching you use this tool for a while. Is it as good as it looks. And also how much and where can I purchase this thing?

[stuntdrvr]

[ianmorado]
