    Is there an option to just buy the polisher?

    Also, what is different with these new pads? When HD first released pads, I purchased probably around 20 of them(foam back). Other than them not having a foam back anymore am I missing out on anything awesome?!?

    The HD site has the HD shirts, hats, etc., but not the polisher. What if you want to order both? Is that separate orders and shipping?

    I do not need mf towels in the kit, that's for sure.

    I'd like to give UNO another shake (pun intended), but so far the Hyper Polish and Speed are working very well, but do need something that can cut for tougher jobs.

    I never use a DA type polisher and always stick to my Rotary but am in the need for a DA type by next week. Hopefully you guys will start selling it without a kit by then because if so then I'd be interested in giving it a shot. The reason I am in need of one is to train my new employee on buffing/polishing and a DA will be much easier to start on instead of throwing him on the rotary first...
    Looks interesting though and can't wait to hear more reviews and info on it! As for the ones ragging on it before even trying it or seeing any review videos, I think you should hang in there a little longer and give it a chance and appreciate the fact that they are giving everyone a chance to try the thing out as soon as they are... I know right now for me it's either spending extra on a Flex or getting the typical Porter Cable or this one. Unfortunately for me I am in a hurry and can't wait too long.

    It seems that the majority people (on this site and others) are using a DA with Foam pads. I think an instructional video would go a long way to help with the acceptance of UNO (and for all 3D "polishing" products). I've run across posts many times on other forums where people are unhappy with UNO and it's clear they are just using it like other products--also seen posts from people who were happy with UNO and really not using it properly so they could have gotten even better results.
    Instructional videos for most competing products are readily available.

    7/9/12 Here are two excellent "How To" articles as examples of type of information available for competing products:

    Wonderful....just wonderful. Guess I'll stick with my old PC. Made in Mexico, so not really better than China I suppose. If the new HD polisher was made in America, I would buy it in a heartbeat!

    Wish we could make it in America, but it would cost more than the flex!

    Why does it matter if it is made in China or not? Shouldn't you base your decision on the performance/value of the product? Not where it was made?

    If all your decisions are based off of "made in MMMerica" I feel for you.
