    Flex vs rupes go with flex my honest opinion

    hi geek I saw a lot of discussion about rupes and flex I own both and I own a rotary in my opinion go with flex. Rupes stop even with washer mod but the advantage of rupes its so easy to control and your arm will not sore. But if you want a deep gloss and very reflective finish go with a rotary.

    My advice is get the rotary and a dynabrade head

    Re: Flex vs rupes go with flex my honest opinion

    I have to agree with this. My friend let me try both the Rupes and the Flex. I would

    definitely use the Flex over the Rupes! The Flex has a more "accurate" feel to me

    Re: Flex vs rupes go with flex my honest opinion

    I think this all comes down to personal preference. I owned a Flex and I really didnt like it much. I picked my Griots over the flex and sold the flex. I have never used a Rupes yet but for me after owning the flex I would choose the Rupes.

    Re: Flex vs rupes go with flex my honest opinion

    I find it strange that many of you prefer the Flex over the Rupes. Since getting my 21 I have barely touched another da. Many of my close friends have sold or have for sale their 3401's . I have six da machines, a rotary and a dynabrade da head for a rotary and plan on thinning my collection down to the 21 , Makita and my 3" Griots . As soon a funds allow a LHR 75 will replace the 3: Griots. I guess it's just different strokes for different folks.
