Makita 9227 works great for me. I love their unique wrap around bail handle. No other polisher can compare to that. ...

Re: Professional Seeking new Rotary Polisher

The PC 7428 and the Flex LK 603VVB look suspiciously similar.

Strangely enough, the 7428 was manufactured by PC’s then European subsidiary, Flex.

Coastal Tool sells the Hitachi SP18VA for $165.

Top of the Line has the Flex LK603VVB for $240.

The PC 7428 used to sell for around $200 through the discounters but was disco’ed when Black & Decker absorbed Porter-Cable. There were killer deals on them back when they were blowing out the residual stock. A number of guys got them for under a hundred bucks before the supply dried up.

Black & Decker got Flex in the Porter-Cable deal but didn’t want them so Flex spun off as an independent company and now has their own distribution network.

I am strongly considering the Flex 3403 L VRG. The other Flex rotary is simply too heavy for my application. I would never consider it.

Found a great deal/have a good deal on it? PM me.

Looking at you, Chris (eshine).
