I’m no professional, but this polisher has been great as I renovated the paint on 4 cars. The main thing I like is that the trigger is very variable; this is so useful well spreading out the polish slowly before ramping it up to avoid splatter. There is a separate max. speed controller too which is in RPM units (600-3000rpm) rather than arbitrary numbers. You get a choice of handles; a bar and a hoop (I prefer the hoop as it’s more versatile). A wool buffer and backing plate is included, but I’m not very keen on wool so haven’t used it much. My only complaints are 1) it doesn’t come with a case and 2) it’s quite loud – like a mains electric drill at full speed. Apparently amateurs are better to start with Random Orbit polishers, whereas this is just rotary. However I found the rotary easier and more predictable, just don’t stay on the same spot for too long and use a high quality polish.
Easy to set up, easy to use. Quite heavy, feels robust. Overall very pleased with it.
You get what you pay for . Not the cheapest but a great buffer ,defo recommend ..
Best polisher I’ve ever used!
Built well, light weight, and quiet when using it.
I am always pleased when I purchase something that actually works as you would want. “This machine will buff”
Top quality, nothing else I have ever used has come close to this.
What more can I say, the name says it all, DeWalt top quality.
