    Question Rotary Question

    Hey guys,

    I browse and read posts more than I actually post myself (mainly because my questions always get answered before I ask them), but my old crasftman rotary polisher is on it`s last legs. It`s at the point that it smokes really bad and gets really hot when I use it. I`m going to be detailing my father in law`s car this weekend for father`s day and i don`t want to finally die in the middle of working on the car. I was browsing through Harbor Freight.com and I came across this Chicago Electric one that they are selling for 24.99. Would this be ok? I really can`t spend too much cash on this as I`m trying to save as much as I can before me and the wife take our vacation.

    You could leave your wife at home and use the money you save to buy a Porter Cable.

    Just kidding.

    The lawyers would cost way more than the price of a good rotary.

    Not to worry, she doesn`t. She`d laugh if she did though.

    Sounds like all it needs is a good lube and new magnetic brushes. There are many Sears Service Centers throughout the LA Metro area -- Click Here to find the one closest to you.
