    But maybe JRP is right, chicks will dig it. Just make sure they keep their hands off the paint while you're polishing😊

    I would've taped the box back shut and returned to sender. I'd expect nothing less than a proper piece after spending my hard earned $400... At least it wasn't a surprise. I mean you knew it was coming looking like that right? You didn't think to call them and request a regular 1?

    For some, spending $50 less and dealing with the pink color is acceptable. I mean, it's otherwise the same polisher.

    My point exactly. I didn't pay over 400. I used the 20% off last week and the price 299.99 and with the discount it came to 254.99. I payed 420.00 for my red HD one but for this price I don't car eif it was pea green. I wanted it so if in the middle of a job my regular one decides to give up the ghost for some reason I have back up. That's the way I am with everything. I hate to run out of anything. This thing may not come out of the box for years but I know I'm covered.

    I think we all need to remember not to judge a polisher by its cover. hehe

    Mmm IMO it's not so much about the ammount of money, it's about the principal of having made the decision to purchase an important tool, a game changer for most.
    There's alot of people who wait along time saving to finally obtain that Flex or Rupes.. Save me $50 but that's the catch? It's not about the money, I'm as cheapo as they come, but I'd pay full price vs. that scenario.

    But like he just said, he already has another Flex so this is sort of a backup he now has on hand for whatever situation he chooses. In that case it's not as bad because it's sort of good to have 2 of the same tool look a bit different [in this case the different color tells them apart]
    And also, it's not like it's his 1st Flex that he waited forever to finally buy. I take it back, I can see why you have no complaints. Congrats on your new Flex👍🏽
