The Eagle...errrr....FLEX PE8 has LANDED!

[firecorgi]

Hhhmmmm. I was thinking of buying a Rupes 75 mini to replace my old PC 7424 which was set up for 3 inch pads. Now I'm thinking this Flex Kompact may be a better option. At least it can keep my Flex 3401 company.

Sure looks like another fine tool from Flex ....

[MarkD51]

Naw, looks like a piece of junk!

Yeah right!

I wish I had such a tool in my hands 40 years ago. Probably would've screwed up a lot less cars! LOL

Darn thing is very "cute" When some money falls from the sky, I'll consider having such.

In my current predicament, no takers for detailing, not if I offered a full correction, and CQuartz Coating for $29.99. (think of Earl Shieb Folks)

"I'll paint any car for$29.95!

Yeah, the good ole days! LOL But not $100! LOL

Just to note...

For anyone going to Mobile Tech Expo next week I have a class on the Flex PE8 on Thursday at 1:30pm to 2:30pm in the Curacao Room 2

We will also have a demo panel and the Flex PE8 at the Autogeek booth for people to try and buy.

[Kamakaz1961]

Dang Nab it!! I wish I lived in Florida so I can attend that class!! I am jealous to all the people that are attending Mike's class!! I bet it will be real fun!

It's heavier than I expected and runs smooth. The trigger leaves to be desired, but I knew that going into it. Wish it was near the speed adjustment dial at least. I'd like to turn it on with the opposite hand that's guiding the polisher. But that's me, I'll get used to it.


I'm going to wait for a sale or bundle deal on them, as I can't do anything big til spring anyways.

I do have some 3" pads lying around and old set of fog laps.... Bug hasn't bit me too hard yet.

I've actually been debating picking up a test panel, but tight on space in the basement right now. Might see if I can find a trunk lid or something smaller to practice Mike's 10 @ 10 with it.

I used it...I believe it was Mike's prototype...It's an awesome tool and I ordered mine today.
