this is a funny post regarding Adams. my pc7424xp is built in Mexico........nobody cares but the second it says made in China its the end of the world. heck my dewalt 849 is built in China and I never had a single issue with it so to me, Adams is trying to promote the Cyclops that's all. like the saying goes if it's not broken don't fix it.

I don't mind/blame them for promoting their new polisher, just don't start telling a bunch of lies or else be prepared to be called out

I get sick of reading this garbage

Recommending someone try vinegar or a magic eraser doesn't count you know?

For the record, Porter Cable has now shifted production of the PC to China. Sad, but true. Only time will tell how this shift will affect the quality of the polisher.

Is it just me or do these guys seem to not know what they are talking about? They make statements that I find hard to believe. Forget the China vs. Mexico debate. They just seem clueless. IMHO

Who cares where products or tools come from as long as they are good?

Your guess is as good as mine. I understand their position on the China thing, but I can't understand how the PC went from being the cornerstone of their busieness to being completely cast out. IMHO, it would have been more responsible for them to just say we are no longer offering the PC due to the current manufacturing location, but the Cyclo is now our non-forced rotation DA option. By commenting on the finishing ability of the PC, with blatantly incorrect information tends to open the door to more widespread doubt in their other messages. We all know the value of a PC and the fact that it can correct a vehicle to a show car finish, which was their position at one point too. Why they have changed their tune is beyond me.

I just have difficulty with their statements. I own each of the machines they show including that dreaded Flex rotary that is only used if you just painted your car or you are a professional. Now, I have been using the Cyclo with brushes but about to change to using the PC with a brush and put the Cyclo back to polishing paint. But, it has more to do with the best function for the equipment, not the Country of origin. As far as I am concerned, all of my equipment came from Stuart, Florida USA. How and where Max got it matters not to me.

I agree with you to a point, but historically speaking Chinese made tools simply don't last. The chinese are the absolute kings of cutting every corner they can to increase profit margin. What will that mean for the PC, we'll have to wait and see. I personally have never had much luck with Chinese built tools.

I have used their products including my PC 7424xp that I purchased from them some years back. Adams is over priced and as I have said in the past when the junkman went so did I, way to many homers on their forums it's all hype, I am all about made in the U.S.A. That's a good thing for sure. And yes I use chemical guys product for the most part. As far as the polisher I have never used one but I don't think I would give up my porter cable, I also have a flex which I bought from adams.
