Can you explain this? What else can you add to it as extensions.
you got me curious

 

[Alti-Plotter]

I've checked and it seems that the two models of steamer I use are not available in the USA.
Have a look the product / owner's manual and you will see what is available in the USA. Some of this accessories are very useful.

Thanks for the review.. I've always been curious about them as I've hear both that they work wonders, and that they suck. I think it's time we tried for ourselves!

This 915 Wagner looks very interesting- $92 from amazon with the
accessories. Looks like a lot more for the money.

I had a cube van in yesterday that we lettered up about 5 years ago and the Wagner was running all day.

It is far faster than a heat gun and on aluminum it seems to leave no glue residue whatsoever. I think on regular painted vehicles possibly with clear coat we get a lot of adhesive being left behind.

Now if we could only figure out a way not to get sore fingers after a few hours work lol

We use ours alot. Works GREAT!
I love Jasonx's idea to use the magnets! Great thinking!

magnets wouldn't work with box trucks and trailers... don't forget.

Did a test this morning.
I had 2 uninstall one side with torches, and 1 guy do it with the steamer.

The 1 man steamer finished 35 minutes before the 2 with torches.

We use a strap thru the handle with a strong mag on each end- sticks to
steel rivets and steel screws- works great.

We are removing some decals off of the counterweights on a bunch of excavators. All of them are outside and it has been in the 30s and 40s, torch is useless because I can't get the surface to heat up and vinyl off is seeming to make it worse. I am ready to either buy the steamer or the MBX zapper which one should I get, will the steamer work in these conditions?
