TORQ10FX Random Orbital

[Wewtloops]

Overhyped is what can be expected. Anybody notice it uses the same digital display/control as the rotary at Harbor Freight made by Chicago Electric? What kind of ####### D.A. is this lol!?

It looks nothing like the Harbor Freight digital display. At all.


I got this email and pulled the trigger on one. Rather than jump to conclusions and bash, I'll try the product out first hand instead.

Main reason I did: grip. My PC just doesn't cut it for me for long jobs, especially when my rotator cuff is the way it is.

Have we really become that jaded? Two machines introduced today with a "standard" 8mm throw, but with a different form factor than the typical DA...and we just dismiss them because they aren't forced rotation or long throw?

Yes.

4200 MAX OPM's with an 8mm throw? No thanks.

Is it just me, or does the tool's body appear to be inordinately long? It looks longer than a Rupes or Flex.

I watched the video. They're on crack. I used to have respect for them, but it's obvious they've slipped from marketing good products to sleazy Ron Popeel tactics.

Why would I want to push the "+" button four times every time I start a new section? No speed or torque management -- never mind a true progressive start like Flex, Rupes or the new Meg's. Cheesy numerical display, "There's nothing else like it on the market!"

Nailed it!

Having had The Flex and The Rupes, both of which I recently sold, I decided to buy one of these to see how it goes. Because I only do weekend Jobs , while the Rupes was a very smooth machine but I didnt feel like it saved me that much time for the cost of the machine. Meg MF pads make it very easy to get a perfect finish with a griots or pc and since I like to have multiple machines with pads ready with different sizes I decided this was worth a try. Ive got 2 full jobs coming up so ill report my findings.

Dont be too quick to judge just because it doesnt have 21mm of throw. I have had were good results with their products.

Agreed. Nobody in here has used it yet. Just reading a website.

It's not the lack of a long throw that bothers me. It's the sleazy salesmanship at CG. The guy was trumpeting the machine's shortcomings as benefits that no other machine offers!
