You need this in your life!!!

Best mini buffer I've had. Cordless is the best don't have to worry about dragging a hose over perfectly polished finishes. Great for polishing head lights, touching up scratches or smaller areas that were missed. Quick and easy to nib dust and dirt out of clear coat. I cant believe i survived without this tool.

Great tool to have in the paint shop.

Sanding out imperfections and polishing with the same tool is great. I have no idea how people have such a hard time finding replacement 3in pads! This is a great alternative to my pneumatic 3in orbital sander and 3in polisher. Its also nice you can take it out on the lot for a quick polish of a scratch or something. Only thing I find kinda odd about it is why isnt there a fuel version Also Im not sure if its just mine but it seems like the bearing housing on the front gets really hot in a relatively short time. Either way I dont exactly use it for huge jobs thats what the big Milwaukee corded 7/9 5460 heavy duty polisher is for!

Auto body paint must-have

Professional autobody painter here. I use this tool every day and it is perfect for defect removal after spot sanding. Make sure you get the XC batteries as all the other ones don't last enough for long uses.

Polisher is great, but..

The polisher is great but it could be better. I like a few things about it. The polisher is lightweight and versatile. It can get into tight places. It is multi-purpose. There are lot's of battery options for it. There are lots of pad options for it, and countless sanding options. I don't like that the variable speed is trigger controlled.Trying to hold the trigger at what you think is a certain RPM can be tiring. It would be better with a dial to control the speed, then just pull and lock the trigger. Or make a One Key model that allows for speed customization through the app. If you're on the fence, maybe hold off until that happens.
