LOOP Handle for PC

[PTJD]

Hello, can I buy a handle shaped in a loop for my PC?

Like the ones on a Makita or Griot`s. I do not care for the handle that comes with the PC that screws into either side of the unit.

Thanks.

have you tried removing the handle and just holding the head?

that it how a bunch of us on here prefer to use it...give it a try

Yeah, losing the handle *really* cuts down on the transmitted vibration. I really can`t imagine a bail handle working as well as none at all, it`d still transmit vibration IMO.

I dont use a handle on the PC. Hell, I dont even know where it is anymore.

Tossed mine right after I first used it - damn dime size blister from that handle rubbing my thumb.

I`m working on adapting the Makita handle to my DeWalt rotary. It`s gonna take a little modification, but the handle is only 8 bucks. I have a UDM that I want to change over to the loop handle as well. Haven`t gotten to it yet.

I do know that the Makita handle has a lip on the side that will need shaved if the handle is to fit flush against the body of your polisher.



I don`t know about the Griot`s unit. It looks like it should work, but getting them to send out a $2 plastic handle might be too easy.



I`ve used the top of the polisher as a handle as well, but I think the loop handle will give you more reach without over extending.

OK will try it without the handle first, I just though a LOOP handle would give me more of an option for adjustments. Thanks

I stopped in my local Hartville Hardware. Hartville Hardware (http://www.hartvillehardware.com/)



Not sure where you`re from. You could call and have them send you one possibly.

Samurai, Thanks for the link, interesting.

[SilentSamurai]

Does that reall work?? Looks cool, but just looks like a strap to me...i could make from out of velcro!<--ok, prob not, haha





I stand behind this product completely. As im sure many other people do. For $20 its not like your losing out on alot right? I love it and im stickin to that answer! hah



adam out!

[Twista616]

Your right, its only $20...no biggie...then again people can man up, and get in the gym and work out alittle too right?? Americans are soo lazy too...

[SilentSamurai]

so i take it you do every detail by hand then? Mr buff guy haha.



Not only do I like the fact it can hold the device. But when working on a car that only needs a PC for correction. You dont need to use more weight than what the machine already weighs. (make sense?) so instead of holding a firm grip on the darn thing for 6+ hours. You got it around your wrist/arm without the cramped hand syndrome
