Performance insights:

In tests conducted by Safety Tools Allmet, the Rough Boy removed 490 micrometers of oil-based paint from a 1 m² area in 49 minutes. Its cold grinding process ensures no heat generation, sparks, or open flames, enhancing safety and efficiency in hazardous environments.

Key features:

• Efficient Surface Preparation: Ideal for extensive surface pre-treatment, the Rough Boy excels in removing coatings and rust without generating heat or sparks.
• ATEX Certified: Safe for use in ATEX gas zones 1 and 2, eliminating the need for hot work permits and reducing downtime associated with risk assessments and safety measures.
• Durable Construction: Crafted from solid tungsten carbide, the Rough Boy offers exceptional durability, with minimal wear on the teeth even under regular use.
• Compliance with Industry Standards: Achieves an average surface roughness of 45 µm, adhering to the SSPC SP-11 surface treatment standard.
