Best Place to buy a Makita?

Striker · 05-15-09, 10:08

Hi guys, Im looking for a hand here. Shopping for a Makita polisher and would like to see what the best deal is out there. I found a local one for 186 bucks and this is just the machine its self. No pads, No backing plate.

The pads and backing plate that come with it are trash.

Just make sure it comes with the 2 handles, 2 screws, and the screw adjustment tool.

Its a deacent discount, but i get killed on shipping to Canada so it evens out really.

The link i posted above from rona.ca is that the same polisher that im looking for? it doesnt say 9227C anywhere but it looks identical.

I got lucky on eBay a year ago. 125 used in great condition. The guy was asking for 175 but had the "best offer" option, and almost as a joke I offered 125 and he took it.

I just bought mine through Arctic Tools on ebay for $174 shipped!! It came with both handles, BP, 2 pads, and an excellent high quality carrying case. They also have great customer service.
