| Flex Review XC 3401
I just got my Flex Xc 3401 today and I tried it out and it is terrific, i own a makita rotary and a p/c, but i think this will be my go to machine now. I think that it is a very smooth running random orbital and it is a lot faster than the P/c. It also has just about the same correcting abilities of a rotary. Everyone should own one of these.

good to hear! I only have a PC, but would likely step to the Flex DA as my next tool.

Flex Polisher is a great polisher, everyone seems to agree after they use it! I really like the lightweight circular one, very easy to use!

I agree that is is a great machine BUT it has no where NEAR the correction ability as a rotary.
I am not stating this to blatantly contradict you BUT I am stating this for those that are on the fence about whether they should get a rotary or the Flex...

If I already own a pc and want for something with more power, wouldn't a rotary like a Makita for $200 be a better idea than the Flex for $240?? I would then have a rotary for the tough jobs and the pc for minor work and for glaze, sealant , or lsp. | |

The Flex offers serious power and in most cases can afford the user with a safer and wiser investment over a rotary. For a professional a rotary is likely the best option. Since I got the Flex , the Hitachi Rotary and PC are gathering dust in the corner.
