fdizzle hope you don't mind... i had a few questions regarding the hitachi since i wanted to purchase it soon

i was wondering if anyone can compare the hitachi mentioned in this thread to the vector rotary properautocare sells (link )

i'm asking because i was looking into buying the hitachi or makita but just now realized that the hitachi, and maybe even makita, might be too light compared to the vector...

and i'm in love with the vector... it is 7lbs which is a little heavier than the makita and a little more heavier than the hitachi... but the weight is distributed perfectly imo... since the top is heavier and very easy to control...

the only other rotary i've tried is the harbor freights chicago rotary (link ) that was selling for $30 so i thought i'd try it out...i'm selling it today after 5 days owning and 20 mins using it... it's way too light for my taste and pretty short... it was very hard to control for me because it was so light and just kep flying around until i got used to it a little... does anyone know how heavy the chicago rotary is btw and the length?? if it's close to the weight of hitachi or makita, there's no way i'll ever get anything than the vector

again, very sorry for interrupting the thread and if necessary i'll delete this post since i'll probably make a new thread about this

thanks in advance
