My pad cleaner
This is nothing new as I got the idea on these forums, but I haven't seen any pictures. I took an old bucket and cut it 5.5" from the bottom. There's probably room for another inch. The Grit Guard is kind of loose but it works.
I fill it up with just enough DP Polishing Pad Rejuvenator to reach the top of the Grit Guard (just under a gallon). Run on a low speed for a few seconds with light pressure and it gets the jobs done. It splashes a little due to the Grit Guard not locking in the bucket but not too bad. I didn't want to cut my bucket that locks in the Grit Guard. Spin dry in another bucket.

Doesn't look very safe to me. All that splashing around with an open top and a electric tool in your hand scares the crap out of me.

That crossed my mind. I'll have to rig up a lid of some kind.

Live life on the edge. A little shock here and there will put a little spring back in your step. Heck, it may help you get the job done quicker.

It looks like we have a beta tester.

you do know that the likely hood of splashed water actually causing a problem is pretty low. It can happen, but the chances of it causing it to show him is very low. if anything it will just short out the tool.
i wouldn't be terribly afraid of it, then again i've been laid out by a welder once. Something happened with the grounding strap and it knocked me on my ass.

Yes I do know that but I ALWAYS look at safety first.

True, just saying. its not as dangerous as people like to make it sound.
That said, a lid/splash guard would be easy to make.

Exactly. All my garage sockets are GFCI protected and individually breakered.
