I'm still trying to decide whether to get the Flex or the Porter Cable at this point. I know with the ongoing issue with the Flex, some may suggest to get the Porter Cable or wait.
Since most of you are the experts, please provide some guidelines as to which Detailing Machine should I get. |
From everything I see there is nothing that would indicate there is a single issue with Flex, much less an ongoing one.
Flex is being used by at least hundreds of owners and only few have reported a "problem". Out of those few they all seem to fall in catgeory of "did not check the tool prior to using it, thus did not find bolt might need tightening, and used tool in incorrect manner".
Thus I tend to feel there is no issue with Flex whatsoever.
If I were you I would get Flex, do pre-inspection in manner described numerous times, and use it in correct manner as described numerous times.
When deciding keep in mind please that PC is not perfect. If you search you will find there were many reports of backing plate flying off on PC and even hitting and damaging the car in the process.
Therefore you can not think in terms of "PC is perfect" (as it is not) and "I will take incorrect use of Flex by owner as tool's flaw".
Please notice no owner that reported "problem" with Flex came back to report problem is reocurring once they were told to tighten bp and not use offset pressure.
