| | | Which rotary? I don't know a ton about them, but would like to know enough where to feel comfortable in the future buying one. I don't mean the procedure about using them, but the machine itself.
Makita, DeWalt, or the PC's rotary.
Anyone have experience with these three rotaries? Is one better than the other? Durability? Minor problems? Money isn't an issue, just want the best machine. I want a classic rotary, so not a Cyclo. |

| | | Definitely Makita in my opinion. I've used the DeWalt and Milwalkee, and the Makita wins by far. I like the lightness compared to the other two, the handy bag that come along with it. The speed indicator tag by the handle is benefitial, and you choose two different handle set-ups. |

| | | Any interest in the Hitachi?
It's what I use and I really like it. It's light, quiet, smooth and has a very good warranty should anything happen to it. |

Out of the three I listed, I was def. leaning towards the Makita. |

| | | I have a Hitachi and I really like it. A lot lighter and quieter than the old Dewalt I had. The Hitachi has a 5 year warranty.
You might want to check with Justin on what kind he has. He put it up to a Hitachi and everything on it looked and felt the same except it was a different color and was a lot cheaper.
I will probably end up getting a Metabo in the near future. I already have a PC,Cyclo,and Hitachi. You can't have enough toys! |
