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.

Yes.

Re: TORQ10FX Random Orbital
Is it just me, or does the tool's body appear to be inordinately long? It looks longer than a Rupes or Flex.

Re: TORQ10FX Random Orbital
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!"

Re: TORQ10FX Random Orbital
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.

Re: TORQ10FX Random Orbital
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!
