GIVEAWAY - What TWO Polishers Do You Use MOST

We are nearing the end of 2016, and I wanted to know what the most used machines are these days

I`ve searched and searched looking for these types of polls, but they all seem to be a bit older. Yup, when the PC7424 is the one with the biggest numbers, you know it`s old!

At any rate, now that the Griot`s BOSS machines are out, I want to see what the most common machines are. I`m not looking to start a debate, arguments, whatever. We live in some good days with many options for some excellent machines. I`m basically doing research...call it Market Research, if you will.

This giveaway is for a 50$US eGift Certificate good for an Autopia Car Care purchase. Once the winner is randomly selected, I`ll need the winner`s email and have the Gift Certificate sent to him/her.

How to enter:

1) VOTE!
2) Post a reply to this thread so I know who`s entered.
3) That`s pretty much it!


* Poll ends December 29, 2016

Thank you to ALL who participate.

GG 6" and Flex PE-8 for me

[madicev8]

Just entered. 3401 gets the most use from me. Thought the Rupes would be posting up higher numbers...

[sjb89]

Flex 3403
Flex PE8
I would love to win
I am super excited
Thanks

[tropicsteve]

glad to see griot.s 6" is still hanging tough.

[Ncmizzou01]

Cast my vote. Most used for me is my 3401 and old 9227C Makita. Use my Nano as well but not to the extent of the big guns.

[jtford95]

The only two I own, a Snap On rotary and a Porter Cable 7424, the old one. Thanks Just Jesus

[pwaug]

GG6 was my first polisher but now equipped with 4" pads for tight bits. Majority of work now with the G15--what a pleasure to use.

(included in the vote)

[zeus65]

Where to vote btw?
Well, I have only flex 3401 for now.
Will be aiming at rotary next year hopefully.
I would love to win the certificate. I have spent too much this month but an enthusiast thirst is insatiable.

Ive voted - its the Flex 3401 and DAS6 for me

They weren`t lyin` when they stamped "Heavy Duty" on the badge. This thing is 35 years old and can easily do another 35.

Rockwell, known as an aerospace company at the time, acquired Porter-Cable and manufactured the Rockwell-branded P-C power tools as well as their own additions. I dated a girl who worked there, so I outfitted my Dad with things like a drill press, sander, circular saw, router, as well as my buffer, all from the company store, long before we had big box or online tool outlets..
Eventually, they either sold off or spun off the P-C brand and the Rockwell name disappeared from the tool market.

I liked this post the most! Cool story, thanks for sharing. That machine looks HEAVY. Over the weekend I did see a Rockwell machine, looked like a modern polisher with "plastic" housing. I`ll try and get a pic, if I remember where I saw it.

I`m a newbie so I`ve only got the portercable. I figure with a Miata there is no need for a more serious machine. Just trying to learn everything at the moment.

Thanks for the givewaway. Merry Christmas!

Keep working at it. Try not to get addicted like the rest of the bunch!

I totally expected way more Rupes. BUT, add the two versions of the 15, and same for the 21, and the numbers go up some.

Flex 3403
Flex PE8

Thanks

Whoa. The first to mention the 3403.

Where to vote btw?
Well, I have only flex 3401 for now.

Higher? Looks pretty high to me if you look at it as a whole.

Total Rupes = 32
Total Flex = 25

And that isn`t counting the 23 from the "Total Other" where the Mini and Nano are. We can almost say 55 to 25.

Almost.

I`m sure a small number of those 23 are like Snap On, DAS6, and Harbor Freight. Not many, but some. So far, there are about 9 that wrote "mini" or "ibrid"

Probably a lot that didn`t know you could write it. Like myself lol.

Anyhow... Of the four "mini" (under 3") polishers I have the Rupes Mini is the go-to. It is just a bumper slayer.
