    What am I missing here?

    I'm on 3d website under polishers/machines, the 3d polisher is only 40$ and the other options are 150-200$ like PC7424...


    Is the 3d machine not a replacement for a PC7424? I thought it was suppose to be better, if it is great, but for 40$?

    Thanks

    That is a rotary, not the new DA. You have to go to "Detailing Kits" to find the new one.

    2500-6800 OPM

    Griots Garage:
    7 Amp / 120V / 850 Watt Motor
    2500-6800 OPM

    (these specs were extracted from a quick Google search)


    ....and most of us know that you can't judge a tool on it's specs alone, as there is a lot more to them then the power of the motor. I could care less about the warranty...Groits put a lifetime warranty on their DA and it's a total POS as far as quality goes. Just give me a well built machine like my Dewalt and Makita Rotary and I don't need a warranty.

    Thanks! If I don't buy it as a kit is that the same machine as the one listed for 40$?

    No it is not.

    The 3D polisher is a DA PC machine. The $40 polisher is a rotary machine. Very different.

    i agree completely - When it comes to warranties, I can't help but think of the movie "Tommy Boy":

    "But why do they put a guarantee on the box?"

    "Because they know all what they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of s#!%. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me."

    sorry, just had to.....

    Only problem with that logic is I could turn around and make the generalization "the longer the warranty, the crappier the tool."

    I bought a G100A (PC7336SP) from Meguiar's way back in 2001 with a lifetime replacement warranty, and I still have and use that machine today. It's getting tired now, sure, but it still works. If it ever does finally die, I can send it in and get a brand new G110v2 (or whatever they come out with next) without any hassles.
