astra makes a decent tool. I use Cornwell tools almost exclusively. I bought a similar kit from cornwell, cost me 169, but its gearless, meaning it will last longer and it is a one piece body, so it won't loosen up and twist on you. go to any auto paint shop and you can get the rust remval pads. 36 grit will work if you need real agressive work, but they make a less destructive rust remover disc. also, if it is not in a cospicuos place, you can use the rust converters, they really do work. they stop the rust, seal it and convert the iron oxide into a primer. I wouldn't use it on a fender but on a trunk lid gap, it might work great.
