Re: Wait, WHAT? What do you NOT like about your polisher??
G21 Boss Polisher - Cord is too long and flimsy. I wish it was shorter so I could have more of my extension cord and less of the polishers thin cord following me around.

Interesting. Do you know any power difference with and without extension cord? The factory cord should have been designed in to deliver optimal power.

Also referencing the BOSS polishers cords, they seem to be right in the middle of short and long. Shorter would be ok, add an extension cord, and longer would be ok, probably not needing an extension cord. As of right now, they are right in the middle. Tha's pretty much my only gripe with the BOSS polishers though.

I haven’t tested enough to see if there’s a power difference, but I doubt it since I use a 14 gauge cord and the polishers cord is 16 gauge... I’ve actually started using a 50’ 16 gauge extension and haven’t seen a difference in power.

I use a 12 gauge 50' cord for everything. At 50' I think it matches the 16 gauge shorter cord. There's a calculation for it around somewhere.

The HF was a bit heavier, louder and not nearly as much power, and the fit form function of the GG6 is more ergonomic

Does the weight mainly come from the motor itself?
Do detailers care about weight balance of the polisher?

Its just when you use it all day you can get a sore back or whatever. All polishers have weight though so it depends on your polishing style and which areas you are going to get sore in. Everyone's different. The Rupes duetto is supposed to be easier and lighter to use but I still get sore with it depending on what I'm doing.
Any polisher that you are going to use all day will prob make you sore somewhere. Everyone seems to go through the progression of Harbor frieght to GG6 to flex ect ect. I gave my HF and GG6 away but I wish I would have saved the GG6 for clay pads. The other polishers don't do as good especially the long throws.

when my Makita cord took a dump I bought a good quality 16 gauge (I think,been a long time) extension cord and wired that in instead of a replacement cord.
It worked great for a long time until one of the high school helper was being careless with a floor jack and sliced in 1/2 so I shortened back up again.
I also wired my Milwaukee up the same years before because it had a locking removable cord that wasn't replaceable
