I guess that would explain that weird "garage" picture with about 20 of those polishers on a bench...didn't look anything like a factory or a production line...my guess is they were taking the "HF" polishers apart and putting in a more powerful motor to make them an "HD" polisher.

The on difference is though, the color of the plastic where the handle is. The HF is red, I think the HD is black... But those colors change all the time.

These circulars must differ depending on geographic location. I stopped at the local HF yesterday and grabbed their October circular and no mention of this machine was contained in it. If anyone has seen Garry Dean's recent drama surrounded video testing of the most current lineup of DA polishers, you will have seen a machine that looks exactly like the one that was in the ad posted in another (assumed deleted) recent thread about HF polishers.

Dave,

The circular they have in the store is not the same one they mail. It doesn't list near as many things

Speaking of deleted threads. Whatever happened to your bank thread?

Thanks Flash. They didn't have it in the store either. I wanted to get one for spare parts for my latest polisher purchase

If you do happen to check and they have them at the Summer Ave. store I may have to pick one up. I just don't usually have the time to stop by there to look around.
