Product Description
Product Description
Positive-drive orbital polisher.
From the Manufacturer
The orbital rotation of the innovative FLEX XC 3401 VRG Polisher simulates the circular movement of the human hand while polishing. It's highly smooth running facilitates a careful, precise finish and even provides what is necessary for hologram-free polishing. The positive drive ensures a uniform movement, even under load. Thanks to the direct orbital drive, very little heat develops on the surface, making this tool ideally suited to temperature-sensitive finishes. The machine's orbital movement has been optimized for the special back pad and sponge (140 x 30 mm) included with it. Includes 1 grip cover, 1 knob grip, and 1 special Velcro backing pad. 7.8 amps, 5.7 lbs.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
For me, its not so much that I need the extra torque or pressing power direct drive offers. That's nice, but with the right pad and polish it isn't a huge gain. What I like is the CONSISTENCY. I get the exact RPM that I dial it to, regardless of pressure, angle, slope, doesn't matter. This is a constant problem with DA's. I've seen various compromises: Rupes "washer mod", Meg's "DTM", but none of them eliminate it problem entirely like direct drive does.
On top of the clear design advantage, the build quality is superb. The tool is solid, powerful, and well made.
I stepped up to this Flex in hopes of shortening the time it takes to get the paint correction results I'm looking for.
The Flex is more powerful and produces better results in less time.
What's not to love?
Only complaint (-1 star) is that while one is purchasing a true commercial grade polisher, the feeble spray containers for the pad cleaner and conditioner are weak and leaky, even with a very minimal amount of jostling to account for it. Leave it in its side, even screwed on tight with the little plastic spray pump cover, and the product seeps out and it WILL seep out unless you maintain them in a constant vertical position on a shelf (forget carrying these in the bag) OR buy your own atomizer.sprayer, because these spray bottles are made to fail.
*** I see they now use McKee's for the included pad maintenance items, instead of the ones included with the kit that i got. these appear to be sturdier right off the bat, but I've yet to use that particular product.
