Probably just an issue with the mold. I'm sure they've seen it too. It's definitely not a cheap tool though. Actually, there's nothing flimsy about it.
Would that be a goodbye for me and where to buy it where should I buy it can it be bought in the store 🤨About the original restore what’s the difference
Any idea how to remove the old sandpaper from the drum without destroying it? I just want to change grits and the only thing I can do to remove it is rip it apart
@@chris I must be missing something. Can you point out the timestamp in the video where you remove it? I can certainly see that you put the paper on the drum but unless I am missing something there isn't a clip of you removing the paper from the drum.
I stand corrected! My apologies. Yes, at 1:30 I show how to put it on, but not how to remove it. You're right! It is a lot trickier, I will admit. The way that I do it is I push it as best as I can to get it out while wearing shop gloves (I may have shoved a large screwdriver down the middle to keep it from turning--it's been a while, my apologies) and then use the same twisting motion to get it all the way out.
@@chris Gotcha that is great info. I actually just contacted the owner of the company (nice guy, you can live chat with him on the restorer website) and he basically said the same thing. I guess they also sell a tool now specifically designed to do this (would essentially do what your screwdriver did).
Harbor Freight's Bauer reconditioning tool seems more like a knockoff. This more a variation of what was the Porter Cable restorer as far as I can tell. For me the very important difference.. is dust collection; tools that have it have a clear advantage to me!
Just got it and love it!
It's so weird there all made by Black & Decker, it used to be Porter Cable so they just discontinued the PC and slapped Craftsman on the side
But I would like to know how many levels of sanding grits are offered (ie course to extra fine/polish)?
👍
2:22 I understand it's a cheap tool, but that mold/clamshell seem is horrendous.

Can you attach a polishing wheel to it and polish aluminum?
Thrasher Associates visit imarestorer.com for more rollers
There are 240g scothbrite drums on imarestorer.com
I think they discontinued the tool. Looks like the price was marked way down and the item is no longer available at lowes.
Great video review

Do you feel this is a good product for everyday use in cabinet/wood working or furniture restoration shop?
I don’t see why not. It’s awesome
El wire brush hasta que grado hay?

Alright I want one but its gotta be cordless
totally agree
Robert Kundel Jr yes...you would agree to that 🤔😏
Does anyone know if this is compatible with the Porter Cable restorer sanding drums?
I'm not 100% sure but I'd guess that they are since it comes from the same company (Stanley B&D) and inventor of the restorer.
Chris Duke I was thinking the same thing.
They are all the same with slight differences, so yes.

I show in the video how to remove it with a twist. I've yet to destroy the sandpaper

yeah, he's very responsive and has been great to work with. I didn't know they sell a tool now to help!
This is likely the “Restorer” product with Craftsman name…
This is just a knock off of the eastwood contour sct
