    I dont really care who you are, that extra weight is noticable quickly if you are doing a couple decent size paint corrections in a day, you say millwaukee, I say Makita

    I havent used anything else to compare, but I have done exidation removal on 35` boat hulls with it, paint correction on a car doesnt hold a candle to that.



    but I am sure something lighter would have been nicer:grinno:

    PC.


    That looks like it weighs half what the US one weighs. Looks similar to a Flex. I wonder who actually manufacturers it?

    I`m almost 60 and I don`t have any problems handling a Milwaukee and also my family and I have always had American cars. I bought my Cadillac Seville new in 1986 an it stills runs and looks like new. Also, my 1975 Olds Cutlass Rocket 350 has over 240K miles on it and doesn`t use oil. My 2003 Cadillac STS is also a fantastic car. FYI my wife`s Honda Civic is on it`s 3rd engine. The second blew up with 100 miles on it. I earn my money here and I support Americans and it`s products! As far as Japanese having superior technology -it`s overkill. I don`t a sensor on my dash to turn the A/C on. That`s why some of you can`t handle a Milwaukee. Too soft!

    Sometimes you have to buy foreign because there`s no American equivalent, but I always support American first! That`s why I bought the Flex.

    So why do you even need the flex if the Milwaukee is so easy for you to handle?

It`s ok to buy a Ford Fusion made in Mexico but not a Honda Civic made in Ohio.
    Well the money that goes towards the Civic thats made in Ohio doesn`t stay here in the US.



    I didn`t know the Flex was made in the US. Then again I don`t know much about it anyways.

    it is NOT made in the U.S.A.

    that`s why I made a point about him being all pro U.S.A. products then buying a flex
