    Re: Flex vs Rupes

    I got both. I tend to use the Rupes on large flat surfaces but when it comes to the really nasty stuff.....it is the Flex.

    Several weeks ago, a few of us (Autogeekers) in the SF Bay Area got together and worked on a Tacoma Truck. We had more machines than hands in attendance for the project.



    A number of us started the day using the Rupes. At the end, 4 of the 5 finished the day using the Flex. I am not saying one is better the other. IMO....It really comes down to preference. I think both machines will get you to the same place. The real question is how it gets there.
