They aren't as good at getting into tight corners, as the edge has the non-abrasive backing material for the flaps, so you'll still want some traditional wheels. They last pretty well. Even just using the tool for welding, you'll still want your wire wheels and cups, cutting discs, flap discs, etc.
Even though they use sandpaper, the flap discs aren't all that good for wood as they tend to clog. Flat abrasive discs with a backer are better. A random orbit (aka dual action) head using adhesive discs is better still, though you said you aren't collecting attachments. I am, though, so if you have a line on where to get the water pump attachment I'm all ears. I have the chain saw heads (and they're a PITA but do what they say). I've thought about attaching a bike cog to one to make an electric bike but I'm limited by the length of my extension cords. Haven't made it out of the driveway yet.
