Rotary Extension

[skipper1]

Mike, I thought I would have gotten your attention down in the Flex threads but I guess not. I recently purchased my first rotary, a Flex PE14-2, why are there no extensions that are at least 3"? For that matter, why are there no rotary extensions in different lengths?
If I lived in the UK I wouldn't be asking this question. They have rotary extensions from 1" up to 6", they even have rotary extension kits with 3 different lengths, Vertool Extension Bar Set. Here in the U.S. all there is, is 1" hex extensions. If I want a 2" extension, I have to put 2 1" extensions together. I think that is a recipe for disaster. You won't nick a mirror, you'll eat it up.
Having said what I have said, I would think that you and Autogeek would have the connections to get some of the extensions I just mentioned, or am I the only person in the U.S. that would like to have a variety of extensions for my Flex PE14-2?
Thank you in advance for looking into this.

It sure would be nice if there were an extension set available for our rotaries like whats available for ratchet sets.

Provided they are round and not hex.

This what you're looking for?:

Rotary Backing Plate Extension

Ive used 2 at a time before on low speed. Then you can get the smaller 1 & 2 in plates and pads as well for those hard to reach spots.

Nope, that is not what I'm looking for. That is the only thing available and it's just 1". I don't like the idea of adapters either. Just 1 extension at the desired length and round & smooth. I don't think that's asking for too much. I really don't want to get a hex anything spinning close to a car.

In the strictest sense of the word:
Isn't an adapter also an extension?

That's OK, Mike. When things slow down for you, several of us would love to hear what you've come up with.

My next suggestion would be to Google "Buff Daddy" and give him a call. He will get you exactly what you're looking for.
