Griots Garage Professional Random Orbital 3 Inch Polisher
Hi,
I was reading on several autocare forums about this tool and most of the comments are negative.Apparently the thing has no power whatsoever,if any pressure at all is aplied it stops the rotation of the buffer making it useless. I would appreciate your comments. Thank you

Mike has commented on this before. It doesn't have a lot of power, Mike likes it for wetsanding. I bought mine for getting into tight places, particularly for the backs of wheels and wheel spokes. It works ok for that, and I find it works fine with the microfiber pads.

The unit is very underpowered but serves a purpose as Setec said

I have the 'new' version and think it is awesome. It's only spinning a 3" pad so it's no less under powered than the PC spinning a 5.5" pad IMO. If u like I can try to shoot a video and put it on youtube.

I would like to see that. I'm considering getting one. The 3" pads on a DA make getting in some spots a lot easier...but with the smaller head on that thing it seems like you would get a lot better angles. When you say "new" one...when did they make the change?

I am interested in the new and improved version. What makes it different. I got mine about a month ago and it is underpowered

Fellers...they changed it a couple of years ago. IIRC they made the shape a bit more ergonomic and improved the power to its current stunning level.
Here you go, more like 2.5 years ago: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...-polisher.html

Here you go. Crappy video. I was using my beer filled garage fridge and putting as much pressure as possible on the polisher. It was still spinning. I had it on speed 6.

I have a 3'' backing plate for my PC. That works just fine. Not sure I'd ever need one of the dedicated 3'' ones.
