Eventually, some day, in the distant future, I'm sure I'll own one of the new Supa/Super Beasts.
But honestly, I kind of dig the current shroud. Sets it apart from the other tools

I'm pretty sure I posted this in another thread about Flex cordless tools. Flex really should release a dual battery charger, I'm trying to decide between the Flex, and the new cordless Makita. Flex has MUCH better battery life. But the Makita kit comes with a dual charger. And I could buy a quad one. I'm mobile and with the Flex I'd want 4 batteries. When you have 4 batteries, having to charge them one at a time, or buy a second $100 charger kind of sucks. It's crazy how this gets almost double the battery life of the Makita, and with a smaller battery. 25 minutes with a 6Ah for Makita? I'd need a dozen batteries just to do a good full correction lol.
According to Mikes testing, to fully charge a dead battery equals just about the same time to use a fully charged battery. So I would say the two included batteries would be fine. Maybe pick up a third just Incase.
unless you have absolutely no place to plug in then maybe a few extra batteries.
Also the thread is in reference to the corded version.
when it comes out, it will be worth the wait...
Most people could easily buff out a car with 2 batteries and one charger.
Nobody runs a buffer for 48 minutes straight.
I did in one of my multiple write-ups on battery life and it’s NOT real-world. At some point as you work around any car you turn the buffer off and “do something else “.
For example, wipe off product residue. Change pads. Get a drink of water. Most people can’t put their phone down that long.
All this time the other battery is charging.
If you think you buff like a mad-man (and you don’t), then simply spring for another battery.
I thought a created a thread with links to all my cordless write-ups? If I didn’t I will. I easily have a half dozen.
To find any of them simply click over to Skynet and type,
Cordless FLEX Polisher Mike Phillips
And I’m pretty confident Skynet knows where they’re at.
:laughing:
