Re: Griot's Random Orbital Polisher
Oh yeah...
If you look at the last pictures, I laid the cord out as long as the Autogeek Garage and still had some I had to coil-up at both ends. This to me is actually a nice feature as I've often time taken by polishers apart and wired in my own extension cords.
On the store page for this is you scroll down you'll see this longer cord as the HD Option, here's the pertinent information.
Griot's Garage Random Orbital Polisher - HD Model +$30.00
The HD model has a heavy duty 16 gauge, 25 foot power cord hardwired into the polisher. The longer cord is more convenient than an extension cord and it is gauged to deliver maximum power to the polisher for safe, efficient operation.
Nice add-on
By the time you drive to Lowe's find the right cord, purchase the cord, take your polisher apart, remove the old cord, install the new cord you might save a few bucks but for the time and convenience this is a good add-on for the money.

Not yet, first I need a car in bad shape and behind the scenes I do a lot of typing, so if you see me online but don't see me posting it's probably because I'm working on a project.
In due time...

Not really, As hard as I pushed on it I couldn't stop the pad from rotating. That's holding the pad flat to the surface. When you hold the pad on edge or an a raised body line this will tend to stop the rotation but on the 6.0 speed setting, you would really have to push pretty hard.
Surprisingly powerful.

Read mikes short review in this thread.
http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...-7424xp-4.html
"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." Lincoln's First Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1861.
