Flex L3403 Lightweight short review

**Harleyguy** · 10-04-2009, 03:44 PM

We were able to use any machine that Ag sells in there product line.If you are looking for a really nice and balanced rotary and won't wear you out after using i suggest you look into buying one of these.I know alot of die hard detailers like the feel and weight of the Dewalts or Makitas but the Flex Lightweight really did a great job i used it with a twisted wool pad and also foam pads,After class was over i was able to take it outside and use it on my pride and joy C6 i mainly wanted to see how it felt working on the side panels which for me using the Makita is the hardest thing for me to control.After five minutes i was sold it works prefect flat panel or a side panel with alot of curves.I really have to think about buying one and selling my Makita.Just getting to use the different machines was worth the ride.

It's good to see another positive review. I've decided that I'm not patient enough to do full corrections with a PC. So I've about decided to move up to a Flex but I'm having a hard time deciding between the 3403 or the 603....Is the weight difference of the 2 really worth the price difference?

I've also read some things about them overheating, any issues with that?

This Flex will do anything a Makita will won't it?

Same here, I'm also getting a bit impatient when I polish with my PC.
I'm thinking either getting the 3401 or move to a rotary. But the weight issue of the Makita seems too much, thus I am also considering the 3403.
Harleyguy, would you 'recommend' the 3403 to one who's starting out on a rotary?

I just started to get in to car detailing as a hobby I have a PC but I see so many good reviews on the Flex 3401. should I jump on it also. Or dont worry they are the same.
