Anyone get to run it through some paces? Trying to decide between this and a pixie. Anyone have both and could do a side by side?
Worried about getting the pixie in my grill opening. Ibrid will fit bit not paying $600

They are different. Last week I took my Ibrid to Civicclutch so he could compare and that was one thing he did check.

Are references to "Rules" backing plates/threads typos that were supposed to be "Rupes"?
Huh, glad people are mentioning the stalling. Rotary mode is when I`m likely to be aggressive (e.g.,. polishing metal) and I don`t want stalling period.
Sorry, my phone auto corrected and I didn`t realize it changed Rupes to rules.

kazekunai- Heh heh, auto-correct can really, uhm...surprise ya alright! Thanks for clarifying.
Oh, Accumulator Maybe that`s good on you. Being a fan of the 3401 myself, I had to know! The two main takeaways are the plastic shroud, not that plastic is better, but it`s supposed to not run as hot. It`s also supposed to be a quieter machine. From the short video clip I saw, it definitely is.
The Adams` *is* a nice option for us to have, but I think I`d still rather wait a little and get the Flex PXE.
Good post. I too have that issue with the Diavolo 12V unit. I purchased Adams 2" blue and white pads which lessen the bog/stop I got with the Diavolo pads, but it is frustrating. You saved me buying an Adams and having the same issue. I find keeping the pad "wet" and using little pressure does work. It does make "heat" with the rpms they can spin.
I have not had the stopping in rotary mode problem with my unit. I even tested both batteries out when i first got mine by running it in rotary mode until the batteries ran out. It never stopped on its own. My hand would cramp after a while and I would intentionally stop.
DBAILEY- Huh, wonder what`s up with the differing experiences..
I was polishing my side windows 2 days ago with it in rotary mode (M37 glass restorer) and was definitely polishing longer than the 30 seconds at a time that people are saying it stalls at. I was using the brush attachment on some upholstery stains in rotary mode too. It didn`t stop then either. I don`t recall what speed I was polishing at so maybe that`s the difference. I`ll test it out tonight. I didn`t know about this problem.
I like the unit. The main body is solid. I have wondered about whether regreasing the gears in the head would make it quieter like people do with the HF DA polisher, but I don`t want to take it apart.
The brush attachment looks like the same thread as the Rupe`s brush attachments. I am assuming the Adam`s is a medium stiffness one equivalent. Hoping the 2 other Rupe`s brushes will work on it.
Yes of course. Just tried it again. Rupe`s 2" coarse wool pad. I can run it as long as I want. It doesn`t stop on its own. How would the machine know it`s in rotary mode anyways? You`re just screwing the counter weight adapter onto the end of the spinning spindle. It`s not like you`re flipping a switch or anything.
I would say the stopping is not intentional and there must be something wrong with your unit.
I just tried the 1" and 2" extensions that I got with my Proxxon micro rotary and the threads match. I can use the backing plates that came with it also.
