UPDATE!! Current Dual Action Polisher Comparison - Garry Dean - Tampa, FL

[Garry Dean]

I recently posted a video review of my initial impressions of the new HD Polisher. This video is a follow up of that video, but also a direct side by side comparison between it and all of the other current model Dual Action polishers on the market.

This video compares the following:

HD Polisher
Griots Garage 6
Meguiars G110v2
Porter Cable 7424XP
Shurhold



If you have any questions, please ask.

Thanks for watching!

Very well done! I'm glad you like the HD polisher and gave it another chance to redeem itself in many people's eyes with this updated test. (subscribed)

Excellent video as always. Liked the comparison's . Sure wish that you had included the Flex 3401 in the da line up too. .

The flex was not included for the same reason the Makita wasn't. They have forced rotation, which gives them an unfair advantage to the true dual action polishers I reviewed.

Thanks for posting the review. It is nice to see another alternative to other polishers.

When using most any power tool, ear plugs are recommended.

Great review as always Gary!! While each of the polishers have a different sound, the noise level differences are so close I don't see how it could matter to anyone.

BTW Griots has verified on a number of occasions that there is no difference between the GG6 "Professional" model and the newer one--only difference is the word "Professional" has been eliminated from the case. If you had to rate the polishers (1,2,3 etc) would they be in the order in your post:

HD
Griots
Megs
Porter Cable
Shurhold

great video Garry! Thanks for doing it.

Just a quick note - the 3d polisher also has a soft start

Entertaining as always Garry, thanks for taking the time to do the video.

BTW- where do you get your shirts from? Need to get some of those.

Thanks, Thomas. The HD polisher I have has more of a start delay, versus the Megs ease into fast soft start.

Awesome vid as always Gary! You don't have to explain yourself with your first review though, it's called first impressions! My hearing is already shot to begin with so I didn't find HDs polisher to be very offensive so to speak when I got to try Barry's out. It is a lot louder then my G110v1 and a whole lot more powerful obviously. The only thing that threw me back was the amount of heat it was kicking out, have you had any issues with that?

Again, love your vids, very entertaining and informative.........even for the "prosumer"!
