I don`t own any, but I`m not going to lie, I would love some Festool machines above and beyond detailing equipment.

I know, for our sister shop we have strictly Festool and I have to say they are a notch about the rest. I do plan on trying their Rotary RAP80 polisher, it looks incredible. I would say if you are in the market for a rotary to try the Festool RAP 150, it is an incredible machine and they do make it in 110V for simple stateside use.

They are cheap, I paid about the same $ for mine, I got a 1500 just in case.

How long have you been running those transformers...

I was looking at something from Japan awhile back. And in looking at the transformers, all of them seemed to be junk except for the 400+ range. I decided it was not worth the cost of unknown longevity by using it as such.

Re: Festool. I got a garage full of green. All the way to their Kapex saw an Auto Clean vacs...

But for auto detailing, bleh.
I was using the RO back in the days when PC was the thing....
Have had 120 German offerings over the years, Fein Rotary, etc.
I dunno, but the cost spent on that, I`d rather get a Kaeser compressor and maybe some pneumatic detailing tools - just to switch things up a bit
