Flex 3401VRG or the New Rupes???

[Blackdevil77]

I have the flex and love it. With that being said, I still want a Rupes. I'd use the flex for compounding and correction, and the rupes for polishing, jewling and LSP.

The Rupes corrects and finishes better. I have spent enough time behind both. I almost sold my 3401 twice as a result but everytime I use its fun all over again, but the Rupes is way ahead from a technology perspective.

Wow, really!? Now I really want one!

I just recently purchased a flex
It's more of a Learning curve, not for results, but for controlling it's walking
I've very limited with it right now.
Atm, I love my G21 the most

I use my Flex Rotary and Rupes most of the time, the others less and less as I tend to lean toward faster corrections.

Here are the cars and their colours for a better idea.

Apologies for My youngest brother being cheeky in the last one.

I had both the Flex and Rupes. I sold the Flex after struggling to get good results.

I personally prefer the high pad speed of the Rupes and less need to apply downward pressure. With the right pad and compound combo I can keep up with some rotary guys.

Thats the good part about a flex. You dont have to turn up the speed or put alot of pressure. Id bet tilting the Rupes or on an "edge" it will stall. Not the flex. Doesnt matter what surface it is on or if its on edge it will spin and correct. I have never tried a Rupes but after reading alot of it I dont think I need one. I would for sure like to try one just to see what the hype is and just how much better it could POSSIBLY be than my GG6 which could finish out anything the FLEX couldnt (Havent run into that problem yet either)

Honestly I too feel the same, I have read a lot about both and feel the same about the flex, undisputed and unmatchable in terms of build quality and the fact that it does both the work of a rotary and DA.

Put a lake country hybrid wool pad + heavy cut compound on the 3401 and it can't do some work!

Put a Meguiars MF cutting pad + heavy cut compound on a long throw and it can do some work!

Did I help?

I have a DAS 15mm and Flex 3401. I use them both.
