Yes, perfectly safe and works great. See my before, during and after pics of the engine I just finished building.
we used it in the shipyard to knock paint off the inside hull. 'course, that was several inches thick HY100 steel
Looks like a block that came out of a snow plow truck. Push it salt it and let it sit. Did several of those blocks in the day, had the small one for HF and did the job.
I DO NOT envy you guys up North.....
Unfortunately when you're used to it, it's just another day. Once you figure out how to deal with it, it's merely another step.
Would think that as long as you are only dealing with heavy metal like car frames and iron casting engine blocks you should be okay. The point here is to match the tool to the degree of work you need to do to get the parts clean. Since you are not cleaning structural ribs inside the hull of a ship, you don't need a tool that would take 2 A-B's and a P/O to operate. Something from Harbor Freight ought to do the job just fine; just pick your tool wisely.
