Don't forget to grease the felt ring and tighten the bolt.

Packing peanuts suck! In my haste and anticipation to dig into the box to retrieve goodies I always have 'em all over the place. Cleanup is elusive and they're impossible to pour into the trash bin without spillin' 'em all over the place. They end up stuck to arms, legs, shoes and everything else and you end up picking at 'em individually. Dunno how environmentally friendly they are either...

I prefer the inflated-pillow packaging. I always save some for use when I have to send something. Handy to dispose of too... just give 'em a poke, deflate 'em and you're done.

Packing peanuts are evil!

LOL... Yeah they aren't my favorite either but I still appreciate the effort AG puts into packaging there products. Still, nice little rant buddy...

I hate them too. To avoid a mess, I slowly pour it into a kitchen bag and then tie it off when it's full. Try it. You'll pick up a lot less peanuts along with your pulled hair!

I prefer those bags of air too. During DetailFest when Max was giving tours of the warehouse, he mentioned that you can request for the brown paper (he called it something funny like crap paper) to be used instead of the peanuts.

That's good to know. I'll try that next time. My neighborhood recycles all paper, but I have no idea what to do with the packing peanuts. Seem like such waste to just throw it out.

What felt ring?

You can take the packaging peanuts to UPS store.
The Flex is great I want one as well

I love your first picture. Brings back memories.

What felt ring?

You need to oil the felt ring. Don't use it again until you oil it.

Questions for all you guys moving from a PC to a flex... Which model flex do you recommend moving into (3401,3403, etc...) and dose the Porter Cable pads work with the flex? Does the flex have the same velcro backing plate?

Water soluble packing peanuts FTW!!!
