### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Works great, easy to handle.
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2014*

I purchased this buffer for waxing and compound buffing on fiberglass boats.  It's lightweight at 6.2 lbs. and has ample power and speed for many purposes.  It features a "slow start" which is helpful when using it at higher RPM's, but it is up to speed almost a bit too quick, so you may feel a slight tug on it from torque as it reaches full speed.. Not a problem though, as this is a common trait of many similar buffers.  I had hoped that it came with a side handle as well as the "loop" style handle, which can get in the way when working in tighter spaces, and it takes up more room when storing it in a tool chest. I purchased a side handle separately to attach to it (it's a standard size thread for many brands of these style polishers and sanders).  One thing I noticed about the loop handle is that it tends to loosen up after using it for a while, so keep the hex wrench supplied with it nearby, or substitute a lock washer under the retaining bolts instead of the flat washers that come with it  Otherwise, it would have been 5 stars because the tool itself seems very good.

    The way tools should be made!
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2016*

I hope it doesnt fail me after 25 years of service like the last one. lol  I had bought my first one when I was in high school. 30+ years ago! It didnt get a lot of use in the beginning until I was about 23 when I started using it full time for the same profession. Im 52 now and I actually I still have it and it works great but the cord started to crack. Its retired now but I keep if for a backup. Im going to fix the cord one of these days.I bought a new one because Im out in the field using this so I cant have it fail out on a job. It cant last forever anyway, can it? Anyhoo, the new hums along like the old one. It gets a couple hours of hard polishing use every work day. Love it!

    This buffer is high quality!
  

*by F***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2011*

I have used this regularly for over a year and it works great.  I mainly use this for buffing cars and wheels and it performs great!  The large handle allows for excellent leverage and the different rpm settings are a plus as well.  You may find it difficult to get the proper pads for this at a reasonable price for they are hard to find.  Go to Harbor Freight for those.
