Now if I could only figure out is that one of yours 4A or it is actually 2A. Manufacturer says it is 500W. But they are in Australia, at 240V. | |

Are we still talking about the Flex or has a new player entered the ring? | |

Good question. Why the mystery?

Sorry for the thread drift and "mystery". No, we are not talking Flex per se, we are talking about tools with similar approach like Flex (short throw high OPM), unlike PC/UDM kind (big throw low OPM). While ago I have started a thread on that as I was starting to experiment, there was not many contributors, Bence and AL-53 reported back results encouraging enough for me to continue interest, and it seems sneek has been doing that sneekingly too. | |

I think that Rigid might be a good choice. Home depot sells one with 2 orbit sizes.

oohh!!! I thought you would get the R2610. It is older, but it is made in Germany and is supposed to be better. I am getting the other unit when I come back. hahaha Let me know how it goes. I will bring my macbook so i can check Autopia every so often.
Zoran, you have to run a detailing clinic in your garage one day. You have enough polishers for everyone hahahaha. | |
