So I went to HB the other day and they had a whole section for the $60 DA polisher. They had 6" pads for under $5 each. So I picked up a few pads to test out with my Flex and PC. Since it will be above freezing today I think I will test them out and see if they work as good or better them my more expensive ones lol. Yes I'm bored and going
To play in the garage.

My only thing is I would never use their pads on my customers cars. I buy a lot of stuff from there pads would not be one of them.

Is it just me or their pads feel...rough to the touch?

I've used their Orange cutting pads on my PC.......lasted 1 fender and half a door. I tried the second Orange pad I had purchased.......lasted 1 and a half doors before it started to shred on me.

I love Harbor Freight, and I have to admit....I take guilty pleasure in reading Harbor Freight threads.

The best line I've ever heard about the company came from a mechanic buddy of mine. It went kinda' like this:

Him: "I need a pipe wrench."

Me: "Well, you could hit Harbor Freight."

Him: "Yeah, but I might want to use it more than once."
