Perfect for popcorn ceilings
5 Stars
Perfect for popcorn ceilings
This thing is the best at removing popcorn ceiling! Bought it because my trusted contractor uses it and it pays for itself! I hooked it to a shop vac outside a window with a drywall bag and went to town. Easily cleared 200 sq ft in under an hour. Had to clear the vacuum a few times but not the fault of the tool. Swivel head is nice but pretty stiff when new. Speed control is excellent. A single sanding pad/disc lasted for the 200 sq ft. All things considered it’s a great tool and well worth the investment. Just buy it.
