New - Griot's 5" Lithium-Ion Random Orbital

[RandyD]

Anyone see this by Griot's. I would think Auto Geek will eventually carry this but I wonder if you can do small correction with this. It is expensive @ $239.00 but can really come in handy at times.

It looks similiar to the one mothers sells. Come to think if it, iirc walmart had one by turtle wax which also looked similiar but I think they both are non-cordless, lack power and are probably only good to apply lsp's...

That's a lot of dough for that. Griots usually has good fair prices, this time is nuts. Too much.

It's probably quite a bit more expensive than their 6" because its cordless.

Where do we find information on this?

Looks the same as the Astro Pneumatic "The Maverick".

No way would I spend that king of money on a glorified wax spreader.

here's the mothers offering...

The Wax Attack can also be used with any of our quality Mothers® polishes, waxes and cleaners, and can also use other standard 6" pads.

Jeez, it's a palm polisher. Probably no correction capabilities. I can get one of these things for 15 bucks with a cord on it though. That price point from Griots is terrible

Griots makes some good stuff, I regularly use their spray products like wash, wax, and undercarriage spray. I also love their paste wax. But I have sometimes noticed a troubling trend in their catalogue where they massively mark up some cheap junk they slap their name on it to make a quick profit. This seems to be the case here.
