The IR Paint Stripper with infrared technology! This revolutionary tool packages cutting edge infrared technology for safe and efficient removal of paint in a price point that DIYers and restorers can afford. With a hardened plastic housing that keeps it cool, and a tough ceramic plate it is a workhorse that can take a beating. No more fragile IR bulbs to worry about! This tool can be carried in your tool bag without worry. With 400W of IR power it delivers enough power to strip up to a dozen layers paint to bare wood in about 10 seconds, but is gentle enough to be used near glass without worries of broken glass from overheating. The power level also helps prevent burning of the wood. Comes with a collapsable handle for easier transporting and a convenient on/off switch. This is THE perfect entry level infrared tool at a revolutionary price! It works to remove varnish and polyurethane or other clear finishes as well, but doesnt remove stain since that is a part of the wood.
