My supply guy gave me demo PE8 to use for a couple weeks and I got to use it the other day on a 2016 GMC Sierra I was working on.
I found it to be great for the bumpers,grill edges,door bottoms,a pillars and any other small area I encountered using the 3 inch pad.

I really liked the smoothness and quiet operation of the machine although I wasn't crazy the on/off switch but I think the more I use it I'll get used to it.

My supply guy has a few customers that use Flex's (mostly 3401's)and one thing he told me is disappointing is Flex customer/repair service which makes me hesitant to buy one so I would like know if others have had good or bad experiences with flex customer service.

I think I might have a get a small 3 inch type orbital now too,,lol,,my wife hates me spending money.
