Welcome back.

Yea,, realized the site had a very minor problem. Even I got the warning, BUT, once I upgraded the forum, I realized that I had to go through Google to go back through the website and "okay" it. I did, and things worked out fine.

Anyway, I have yet to try the Upol. Still using the HOK and the ShopLine.
My supplier (American Icon in Pinellas Park) does not carry it.

As far as buffers, I have about 4 buffers. All either DeWalt or the Makita. Both have their pros and cons (my own opinion).
The Dewalt I like because it does not have the delay when you click the trigger. BUT, they seem to be quite a bit noisier than the Makita,
The Makita seems to be a little bit lighter, easier to hold, and quieter, BUT, it has a delay that I don't like when you pull the trigger.
All buffers I have are variable speed.
I have 2 buffers at work, another one I use for stripping and one I use at home.

taz thanks for your reply, as you know i do a few motorbike tanks, so i have been looking at a few smaller buffer like the flex L3403 and the rupeS LH16EN OR milwaukee ap12e have you tried any of these , back to clear coat i thought you could get upol 20-80
there

Like the TAZ image :bigokay:

I haven't tried either one of those, but I did just look up the flex L3403 and that looks like it would work great motorcycle and other smaller parts.
I know the 7.5" pads are smaller than a normal size, so I wonder if they would be available local.
It doesn't appear to be 110v though?!
.Looks to be a tad bit higher priced than the Dewalt or Makita. Surprised at this.
Pretty cool little buffer thogh.

Sounds like a good price. Let us know how you like it.
