FAQs

What is this tool set primarily used for?

This set is specifically designed for removing corrosion from wheel hubs and around the base of wheel studs, ensuring a clean surface for wheel mounting.

What are the included disc sizes?

The set includes two small strip discs (40.5mm) and two large strip discs (46.5mm).

Do I need a specific type of power tool?

The set includes a quick-change handle that attaches to a compatible adaptor. This adaptor typically fits standard drills or impact wrenches.

Can I use this tool to clean the entire face of the wheel?

No, this tool is optimized for cleaning the hub and the area around the studs, not the entire wheel face.

How do I replace the abrasive discs?

The discs attach to the quick-change handle, which usually features a mechanism to easily lock and release the discs. Refer to the tool's specific instructions for the quick-change system.

Where can I get replacement discs?

Replacement abrasive discs are available under Laser Part No. 7199 (small) and 7198 (large).

Is a power tool included in the set?

No, a power tool (such as a drill or impact wrench) is not included in this 6-piece set.

Troubleshooting

Discs not spinning effectively

Ensure the disc is securely locked into the quick-change handle and the handle is properly attached to the power tool adaptor. Check that the power tool itself is functioning correctly.

Corrosion not being removed

Apply moderate pressure. If corrosion is extremely heavy, consider using a more aggressive disc or performing initial cleaning with a wire brush before using this tool.

Tool vibrates excessively

Ensure the disc is centered and securely fitted. Check that the power tool adaptor is not worn. Excessive vibration may also indicate a severely uneven hub surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively removes stubborn corrosion from hard-to-reach areas around wheel studs.
  • Includes a convenient quick-change system for fast disc replacement.
  • Comes with multiple disc sizes for versatility on different vehicles.
  • Organized storage solution keeps components together and protected.
  • Replacement discs are available, offering long-term usability.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for hub and stud base cleaning, not for general wheel face cleaning.
  • Requires a power tool (not included) to operate the quick-change handle.
  • Abrasive discs are consumables and will need replacement over time.
  • May not be suitable for extremely pitted or damaged hub surfaces without additional preparation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Attach the quick-change adaptor to your power tool (drill or impact wrench). Ensure it is securely fastened.
  2. Select the appropriate sized strip disc (40.5mm or 46.5mm) based on the hub design.
  3. Insert the disc into the quick-change handle until it clicks into place.
  4. Attach the quick-change handle to the adaptor on your power tool.

Compatibility:

  • Power Tool Compatibility: The quick-change handle is designed to work with standard drills and impact wrenches with a suitable chuck or drive.
  • Vehicle Compatibility: The included disc sizes (40.5mm and 46.5mm) are common but may not fit all wheel hubs. Check your specific vehicle's hub dimensions if unsure.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, remove any dust or debris from the discs and handle. A dry cloth is usually sufficient.
  • Storage: Store the set in its original foam tray to protect the discs and keep the tools organized. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture.
  • Disc Replacement: When discs become worn or ineffective, replace them with Laser Part No. 7199 (small) or 7198 (large).
