This one comes with the side handle and counterweights, etc. I have a Cyclo random orbital and a Makita rotary, but everybody swears by the Porter Cable. I figured for $95.00, why not try one?

Comes in handy when the time comes for a full exterior detailing. Impressive results. Fun to use! (Though a little tiring after awhile. But it sure beats buffing by hand.)

Okay, it sounded like you were buying a $95 extension cord or something.

Hey cas, let me know the next time you plan to use the PC when detailing - I'll come over to help and see if I want something similar for myself.
