Would just like to clarify.
This is not a redesign, this is a new product specifically for industrial buffing demands such as Marine Gel coat, Aerospace paint, and Cultured Marble and stone where they buff on sharp angles with high pressure and high speeds on rotary machines ONLY. Under these conditions the standard rotary adapter was not designed to buff on sharp angles, the pad would pull off. That is what the test is showing, how tightly attached the pad is to the adapter. The groove in the plate that accepts the balls on the adapter needed to be a bit deeper in order to hold the industrial adapter so all pads made before Jan 07 will not work properly with the industrial adapter but work just fine with the standard. All pads made after Jan 07had the modified groove and work with both adapters just fine. What we have found now is that everyone who sees the new ROTARY industrial adapter prefers the design even for regular automotive use because they don't have to push the button but instead pull back on the sleeve like an air hose and it seems more intuitive and simple. These have been on the market for several months now. If you can't find them just call your favorite retailer and see if they can special order them for you.

Hope this helps,
Aaron
