I screwed up

I just got my new Griot DA. I thought it had a 25 foot cord, but it didn't. I went back to the AG web site and seen I didn't get the HD model. So if you are thinking about getting one, make sure you get the HD.
Griot's Garage 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher, Dual action buffer, DA polisher
Upgrade to the
Griot's Garage 6 Inch Random Orbital Polisher HD!
The HD model has a heavy duty 16 gauge, 25 foot power cord hardwired into the polisher. The longer cord is more convenient than an extension cord and it is gauged to deliver maximum power to the polisher for safe, efficient operation.
Select the HD model from the drop-down menu below.

Re: I screwed up

Just give it to me, and order a new one. You can use killrwheels cc for the new HD one

Re: I screwed up

Just to note, on the order page for this tool here,


Griot's Garage 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher

There's a drop down list that you can click on to choose the 30' cord option. It's across from "Choose a model"

Re: I screwed up

Anyone know what gauge wire is used on the Griot's polisher with the standard length cord?

Re: I screwed up

Just got one with the 10' cord. It is 18 gauge, just like the PC.

Re: I screwed up

A dedicated single-Plug Extension Cord is not that much of an inconvenience to use, is it ?

I find the Detailing Apron with the Shoulder Loops to be Money better spent on, than the longer Cord is.
