    Back to the Flex3401

    As some of you know I own a detail shop here in Louisiana and have seen increased business over the past few months.

    A couple of years ago I hurt my elbow and had to put down the Flex.

    I went to the large throw buffers and helped me recover being less stress on the joints.

    A couple of weeks ago I found myself very busy, backed up so I picked up the Flex to try and catch up a little and worked.

    I didn't save a ton of time but did see faster corrections.

    Best thing about all if this is no pain anymore using the Flex3401.

    It does make a difference in paint corrections.

    Kevin, glad to hear there aren't any pain issues anymore! it's good to know you had old faithful (3401) on standby to power through those details for you. I remember you mentioning in a thread you had issues/problems with your previous long throw polisher. Hopefully, you got that resolved with different one you can rely/trust on in All aspects...

    glad your arm is feeling better,I currently have a bad case of tennis elbow mixed with some tendonitis too so I know what you are going through.
    The vibration from the DA actually makes my arm feel better but the problem comes when I stop and have to hold the polisher .
    do you have problems holding it or controlling the forced rotation?

    doggone occupational hazards for those of us who do it day in and day out.

    Nice to hear you're back in the groove with your 3401. I hope I never have to correct without mine again.

    I had a big problem to handle the force rotation when my elbow was hurting.

    Now my arm is relaxed and find it rather smooth.

    It's gets a little heave after using it a few hours on side panels but it's faster.
