Strip Decades of Paint in Seconds—Without Chemicals, Dust, or Surface Damage
Forget messy chemical strippers, dangerous high-heat guns, and hours of dusty sanding. The Speedheater Cobra utilizes advanced Swedish infrared technology to soften paint, varnish, and hardened putty at the molecular level—allowing you to scrape surfaces clean down to the bare wood in seconds.
The Speedheater Cobra is a compact, lightweight infrared (IR) tool for efficient and easy paint removal on interiors, exteriors, windows, furniture, and various types of joinery and woodworking. It is especially effective on tight, angled, and detailed surfaces like window sashes, moldings, curved surfaces, and banisters.
