I'm not often impressed with the quality of Harbour Freight tools.
Though this needle gun sure did a nice job on a TDI engine block.
Removes scale, rust, loose paint from the block surface quickly with minimum effort.

Needle Gun

Not to be used on any gasket surface!
For any gasketed surface always use the mildest means possiable.

YA we used to use those on ships in the navy to remove rust before painting. Learned to hate them.

I worked in a shipyard right out of school. Needle guns going everywhere, all day. The noise was incredible. Still cringe when I see one. But they do work (so I'm told).

As a retired USN vet I often slept (soundly) to the sound of an orchestra of needle guns. The sound of happy sailors learning to build Navy values....Navy traditions.
The U.S. Navy is still 200 years of tradition unhampered by progress. :D
