Festool Rotex - Anyone tried it?
There are a couple of Autopia threads about this German product. Pricey, but the quality appears outstanding. I like the idea of going from a random orbital to a rotary (for the problem areas) with the click of a button.
Just wondering if any Auto Geeks have one and can give some opinions.

Interesting tools, but sure not cheap!

reminds me of that two headed drill they sell on infomercials ... I stick with the PC and Hitachi.

You're right about not cheap! But, I've got a neighbor that's interested in buying my pc and some product for around $100. So, with that in mind and the fact that the Rotex has rotary capability...it might be the ticket.
If I get it, I'll be sure to post some opinions and pics.

well, the 2 in 1 is about 400, pc's are 100 and rotary is more like 200 i think. so its more cost effective to get 2 machines as far as i can see, but its a cool design.if the price drops, it seems like a great tool

I wouldn't trust myself with a rotary yet, maybe my ex-wife will let me practice on her car though

Maximum speed on that rotary is 660 RPM. That's not going to do much correction. Keep the separate tools.

I´ve ordered the Festool Rotex 125 FEQ (newest model), its the little brother of the shown Rotex150. Finest german quality product, but very expensive. I bought it last year end of december, before the german common taxes were grown up. Its about 400 Euro, 500 dollars in germany. But its worthy. Ive tried it only with the XMT Carnauba fin glaze and a grey LC-pad and it goes very very easy. After I applied a single coat of NattysBlue with a blue LC-pad. Great und such a easy way to polish.
