Griots, Flex, Rupes DA clone

**theparmachine** · 01-20-2014, 11:56 AM

Can somebody tell me how to get one of these? I contacted the manufacturer but they told me that Groits will be selling them in the Spring or they will be on Amazon soon.

I want one NOW though.

Please advise.

So Griots is making them?

I called Griots and they confirmed that they will be selling a new polisher, described as a "more beefy version of what they already sell" but the guy I talked to did not have any more details. I told him what I knew and he just said that they don't really tell them much of what is coming and they find out just before it's available.

It's supposed to have a more powerful motor compared to the Rupes (880w) so that is the main reason that I am waiting.

The GG vs PC is huge because of the more power and torque so the same must be true for this one.

Once you experience the 21 mm stroke you will find that not to be true IMO. Also with the buzzy Griots my hands were wasted at the end of a long day. My Rupes is silky smooth.
