Orbiter Random Power Buffer $20 at Walmart?

[lovesolderplymouths]

Hi, I stopped by Walmart today and saw the new power buffers. They are only $19 and has 2600rpm on them (8" and 10") How do these different from the $100+ that everyone else on the board buys. Will they scratch my paint? what`s the difference in the huge price difference?

what`s the difference in the huge price difference?

Build quality, options (like variable speed) and mostly POWER, POWER, POWER!! The el cheapo units usually have a very small motor that has very little if any torque and will bog down load.



They are O.K for applying and removing waxes, but simply don`t have the power to correct serious paint problems.
