Re: SO what do you guys think of......

Unless you have plenty of experience with a PC or have a practice car I would hold off. You can burn the paint with a rotary pretty quickly if you are not skilled enough. The Flex is more then enough to tackle jobs. I'm assuming you are not a detailer by trade and more of a weekend warrior (like myself)? I just do mine and family and friends cars and the UDM is more then enough to do that.

wytstang I have finished out stainless steel and copper and bronze and built custom elevator cabs for years......so I really feel confident I can handle the rotary.

Re: SO what do you guys think of......

Using a rotary isn't that hard to use, common sense plays a big role in using it. Milwaukee makes great tools, I would buy their products before buying a Makita or Hitachi.
