    So, I`ve noticed that on the days we have big corrections jobs that I am using the Flex 3401, the next day my wrist and elbow joints are kinda sore. Anybody else feeling this?

    When I first started detailing full time after sitting at a desk for a few years my elbows hurt for awhile. Went away as I got back into shape.

    Thanks for the replies! Switching from the daily use of rotary to the Flex is painful in ways I never could imagine! The vibration is brutal. But, I love the machine and am going to get, from Det. Domain, a 3403 also.

    LOL..........



    After every correction detail I need to take some Ibuprofen........life after 35 and detailing. You will get use it, over time. After a long winter, the first spring details are hard.



    Cheers,

    I have a bad elbow from my baseball days. Usually it is not a problem. I mostly polish with the Cyclo, which has little vibration; especially with the edge pad system. My big problem is my back from all the crouching and bending.
