New Makita 5000

[ScottH]

Dear Forum Members,

My wife surprised me with a new Makita 5000 today for our 10th anniversary. Last week she saw me reading about it on AG and asked me what it was. I told her but not thinking anything about it other than she took interest in what I was interested in. Then when I got home tonight she presented me with a large box from AG with a huge smile on her face. I opened it in amazement - total amazement! I really was not expecting this especially because we recently bought a house and have bills. I am forever grateful and can't wait to try it out.

I will echo Mike's comment - it feels very substantial in your hands - very much like my G15 does. I have a 911 and and a Corvette coming for a visit this weekend - depending on the condition they are in, I may opt to use it for the heavier end of correction,

Stay tuned!

That's super thoughtful of her. Awesome!

Seems like it would vibrate to much.

Sounds like you have quite the wife. Congrats on the anniversary.

AWESOME wife!!!!


Makita took about 3 years to fully develop this polisher. I expect good things out of it. Mine will be delivered today. I'm going to at least give it a test run this weekend.
