How many people run without the PC handle?
I don't even understand why the PC has a handle, it transmits so much vibration...

I just took the handle off and I use my hand on the head of the unit now.

No handle for me. When I first got the PC I used the handle but got tired of it getting in the way and having to take it on and off.

OMG.

What a brilliant idea.

Why the hell have I been using that vibrating POS!

Cool
The PC was originally designed as (and most of them are still sold as) a sander. Side handles are ubiquitous on sanders.

I prefer to polish without it.


PC.

I polish sans handle as well. The handle just always seemed to get in the way for me.

I tried the handle for about 30 seconds and I took it right back off.

No handle here either...putting the hand on the head of the PC definitely helps with even pad pressure.

Same here. I'm not even sure where the handle is, anymore.
