Helping with a DA purchase

[Eandras]

I receive some private messages from members asking about the PC 7242, Griots 6" and the Flex. I know when investing in a polisher most people are researching the polishers and become overwhelm by the choices that are out their.

I just suggested to a forum member to try and reach out to other members in his area to se if he could try the unit out to help make the decision. I would be willing to assist anyone who is sane and balanced to allow the person a chance to use the unit with me. So I just want to know how the members feel about letting a perfect stranger stop by and try a polisher out.

If other members are willing to help out we can start a thread were everyone list the polishers they have and their location so a member can contact the person and make arrangements. The only requirements are that all members must remain safe an Demetrius times must accommodate the member that is offering the service to try the unit.

If this is a bad idea this thread should be closed.

Hi Ed,

Great idea!

Letting a forum member try a tool or polisher is a great way to promote friendship along with some real hands on experience.... There's nothing wrong with each one teach one...

Excellent idea Ed. I have done this in the past with other types of products on car related forums. Especially anything that is is best evaluated hands-on.

An opinion even from a well respected and knowledgeable person is still just that an opinion. What works for me my not work at all for others. Bonus...an opportunity to meet like minded people is always welcome.

I'm in on this idea. It would be great to do as I'm looking to try a flex before i drop the money on one.

Good thinking Ed

Upstate SC. I let my pal A-Train, Adam my Flex 3401 and I think my Dewalt 849X too. I told him the Flex is an acquired taste. He tried it and didnt care for it. I am glad I saved him the $$. I traded him my GG for hiss PC because he needed the extra power and with the Flex, Ididnt need the extra power . This was after I had tried Optimum MF pads on the Flex. I have the latest Megs G110 V2, 3" GG and a Cyclo too. I use all and enjoy them all too.

I would love to find someone in houston with a flex i could try out. Im really interested, but i would be really upset if i dropped the cash and hated it like a few others.

It should be who knows how to use those tools. Just because you have them doesn't mean you can use them. :buffing:
