Hey,

Excellent deal...I bought mine from Coastal Tool with weights, etc for $125. If you've never used one of these, you'll be in for a big surprise...and my car is black.

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?

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

You can have mine for $50 and any left over Pistachio ice cream you have in the fridge. That thing vibrates too hard when you are removing swirls. My arms are numb for hours. For maintenace/buffing its A+

If Santa doesn't bring his traditional lump of cole, maybe he will bring me a Cyclo.
Right now its the benchmark for orbitals. But I don't think I've been that good.

I've been good but not that good. For mere mortals do you still recommend a PC over other options for swirl busting and polishing? Griot's and others have their own versions and I'm interested how those compare in terms of results, quality, value, or PLF (Perfectlap factor)
