Okay, to follow up on the last post;

1. The Hercules does feel like it has more power than the Bauer; it could simply be the mass of the wire wheel making it feel that way.
2. No, I will not post links to the wheel...if you cannot find it on your own on Amazon, then perhaps you shouldn't be using it! That thing is dangerous!
3. The 40-grit wheel on the Bauer did a better job with light surface rust.
4. The Hercules and the wire beast did better on the heavy scale and paint.
5. I do think both have a bit of a brake, but perhaps it is just how those operate as it spins down quickly but doesn't truly brake, so I don't know for sure. I was going to do a comparison, but the Bauer was taking too long, and I switched to the Hercules with the wheel. The cart top took about 5 minutes.
