I have small hands. I guess that's why the trigger has not been an issue for me. I also happen to like the soft start feature. I especially like it to do the 10 @ 10 method for picking up a bead of polish.
Re: Just got my Flex PE14...
You will love the handle and soft start. Coming from owing the 849, 849x, and Makita, the size, weight, and ergonomics of the PE-14 makes it really nice for cars.
Re: Just got my Flex PE14...
why are you holding the trigger for that long anyways? they have the trigger lock there for a reason you know.....

A great rotary buffer for any procedure and especially for surgical buffing.

The fact you would even ask that...I'll guess I'll just say I hope you aren't buffing your car with a rotary.

ABSOLUTELY! I ordered the 3" pads to use with the tool...I can't tell you how many times I have wished I had pads smaller than 5" so I wouldn't have to use a roll of tape to keep from burning egdes or creases on the panel.
Its perfect for small bumper flats, around mirrors, and anywhere theres a small area where a 5 or 6" pad won't work.

The following had me confused a bit too:

I ran it for less than 20 minutes and my right hand was cramping.
Keep in mind I have big hands...real big. Guys with smaller hands are gonna have a time with the Flex.
The only complaint about the trigger, for me, is that it takes some getting used to locking it. I'll pull the trigger and try to lock it and sometimes it doesn't lock. But I think the previous comment was from your description of the "dead trigger" and having to hold down "keep the trigger pulled down with out fatigue"
Re: Just got my Flex PE14...
There are many of us that use the trigger lock for polishing and even more when jeweling. I've used the trigger lock on every car for the last 20+ years.
