Sunex Tools 0.5HP Wheel Weight Adhesive & Pinstripe Removal Tool (SX8201)

Sunex Tools 0.5HP Wheel Weight Adhesive & Pinstripe Removal Tool (SX8201) is a professional-grade pneumatic solution designed for the meticulous task of stripping adhesives from vehicle surfaces. Whether you are removing the sticky residue left by lead-free wheel weights on alloy rims or stripping decades-old pinstripes from a body panel, this tool provides the mechanical force required to lift materials without the need for harsh chemicals. It bridges the gap between manual scraping and high-speed grinding, ensuring the surface beneath remains intact.

Key Features and Benefits:

• High-Torque Motor: The 0.5HP motor operates at a moderate speed of 2,600 RPM, allowing for effective removal of thick adhesives without stalling.
• Adjustable Power Regulator: Fine-tunes the airflow and speed to match the work surface, preventing scratching and ensuring control.
• Lightweight Composite Body: Weighs only 2.15 lbs, making it easy to maneuver on vertical surfaces or in tight spaces.
• Consistent Speed: Maintains a steady rotation that prevents the ÒskippingÓ action associated with weaker motors.

Specifications:

• Motor: 0.5 HP
• Free Speed: 2,600 RPM
• Weight: 2.15 lbs
• Spindle Thread: 5/16″ x 24
• Air Consumption: 4.0 CFM
• Operating Pressure: 90 PSI
• Set Includes: (1) SX8201 Tool, (3) 4Ó Eraser Wheels

How to Use:

• Preparation: Ensure the vehicle surface is clean of loose dirt or grit to prevent scratching.
• Attachment: Thread one of the included 4-inch eraser wheels onto the 5/16″ x 24 spindle until secure.
• Air Connection: Connect the tool to a regulated air supply set to 90 PSI.
• Testing: Use the adjustable power regulator to set a low speed and test on an inconspicuous area of the vehicle.
• Application: Hold the tool so the edge of the eraser wheel is at a slight angle to the pinstripe or adhesive.
• Operation: Depress the safety lock-off trigger and apply light, consistent pressure, moving the tool back and forth along the adhesive line.
• Adjustment: If the adhesive is not lifting, slightly increase the power regulator; if the surface is getting too warm, decrease the speed.
• Cleanup: Once the adhesive is removed, wipe away the rubber “eraser dust” with a microfiber cloth.
