Has anyone used this brand before? Mytol? Is it worth the few hundred? It seams to be good value compared to others. Or is fest tool the best?

If the popcorn ceiling has not been painted you can simply wet it(with pump sprayer, or even an airless) then use a drywall knife and scrape off. There are even collection bags specifically for that at Lowe’s. I have used a cheap drywall sander(my personal one to sand walls for painting), mid grade(dewalt and porter cable), and best (festtool). I will say the quality is representative of how stable (not shaky) the tool is, as well as connectivity and bells and whistles. However you can get good results with a cheap drywall sander if you learn the tool(which is annoying), and maintain the pad. As a note I do not know about the effectiveness of using a drywall sander for popcorn ceilings, I personally have not used it before, for that application.

If you are a pro, just go get the Festool Planex 2.0 with a CT36AC vac. Best on the market and its not even close. If you have an account with Sherwin, they can finance for you. If you are a dyi, go rent one, or look on FB market place for Dewalt or Porter Cable. Either way you need a good vac with a good filter system if you don't want to work in a cloud of dust.

Planex for removing knockdown?
I believe so, I’ve never used one, but from what I’ve seen they’re pretty insane. Seeing as dust collection is one of festools top priorities I can’t see it not working excellently.

March 6, 2024 - Has the popcorn ceiling been painted over ever? If not, removal is much easier. ... Really, any of the 9inch sanders will do a decent job, the dust collection is likely more important. I use yee old Planex, however I've used Dewalt, which is likely the cheapest of the name brands and it works perfectly fine.

April 1, 2013 - No brainer! I use mine on skim coats and that alone is worth having the planex. It works great to sand primers, flat paints wall prep... Have not used it for popcorn removal yet. But I will say that if your sanding old paint with sheen higher than flat , be prepared for the pad to gum up.

Answer (1 of 3): I wouldn’t. Your going to get dust all over the place and it may be asbestos. Your better off wetting it with a pump sprayer and then scraping it off. Wetting it keeps the dust down and you want to wear proper respirator and ...
