    PXE is a small, mini polisher.
    Here is a PXE next to a small bottle of polish and a 3" pad

    Thanks for pointing that out. I changed my wording since I haven’t worked with the Ryobi and Dewalt polishers, I’ve only read reviews for them.

    Dgage, cool deal.

    I do like the DeWalt plenty. I would compare to a Griot's BOSS g15. So similar IMO. If anything, I'd give the edge to the DeWalt in slightly less stalling and possibly feels a bit more "torquey"

    Thanks, I bet that comes in handy. Right now I use my little M12 Polisher with a 3" pad to get into small areas, but it's a rotary, so I have to be more careful with it.

    I have the cordless.

    2 batteries is more than enough. By the time second battery dies---the first one will be charged and ready to go!

    I have that one too and burnt a small area on my son’s headlight when I let it go a little too fast, even on 1. I’m probably going to sell it as it isn’t going near the paint again. Even scrubbing tires it was too fast and hard to control.

    I use it a lot and never had any trouble with it. On slow speeds it works great in tight areas and a quick single scratch. For the plastic headlights you gotta be careful or you can melt them quick.

    You can also small roloc discs for it and they have a ton of uses. I use it with a good roloc disc to sharpen my mower blades.
