Just picked up a used 9227C

[Evenflow]

It doesn't come with the overhead handle, do people use these when buffing? If so, where can I get the overhead handle? Seems like it might help a bit?

Did it come with a side handle? I have the overhead handle and rarely use it, but sometimes the buffer head gets warm and the handle provides relief from the heat.

I wonder if Coastal Tools would have the handle...



Edit: Couldn't find any place that sells the handles, but I did find the part numbers if that helps at all:



Hoop handle (416256-9)

Side handle (152490-4)



Another Edit: Found the hoop handle here...Makita 416256-9 LOOP HANDLE, 9227C Miscellaneous Parts Parts Power Tools from Toolsforless



and the side handle here...Makita 152490-4 Grip Handles Parts Power Tools from Toolsforless

I will give you mine if you want to drive to Burlington to pick it up...

I am going to try it without the overhead handle first, and see if I even do need it. If I do need it I have no problem driving to Burlington to pick it up.



Thx for the offer Rick.
