Cheapest Rotary, Makita or Hitachi, Where?

Hitachi Variable Speed Polisher

Found this one in another thread and was going to buy, there is no add to cart button for that item. So I tried to call the 800 # under contact us and it says the mail box dosent exist.

***?

Looking around, I know Coastal tool(I believe they are reputible) has the best price on both besides that one, any where else.

I dont plan on using it very much but may in the future so I kinda ruled out the Vector, maybe?

Thats as cheap as I have seen it anywhere..

Coastal was backordered whenever I went to order mine, ended up paying $174.95 shipped for the makita on ebay.

SpeedEuphoria- I just ordered a Makita 9227 today from here:

Amazon.com: Makita 9227CX3 10 Amp 7-Inch Electronic Sander/Polisher Kit: Home Improvement

I thought with the carrying bag, pads (not sure if they are useless or not), and free shipping that it was a heck of a price.

Try Ebay for the Makita.

It' true, I really like my makita a lot. If you are not going to get a metabo, I would take a makita over a hitachi.

Well I'm going to try some 5" CCS pads on the UDM and if that doesnt cut it, then I'll be getting something. Just thought for a beginner that the Hitachi(lighter/smaller) would be the one to get even though I dont forsee using it all that much for now.

Re: Cheapest Rotary, Makita or Hitachi, Where?

they're a vendor on a forum I frequent and members there are not receiving orders, even after waiting weeks and months. Last time I ordered from them close to 2 years ago I had a good experience, but times change I guess.

When I saw their pricing on the Hitachi months ago, I wanted to check to see if the pricing was correct. I Emailed them numerous time and tried to call them many times. To this day, I have not received any communication from OCD. Take that as you will, but with this and other things that were mentioned here, but IMHO I would forget about OCD.
