 Awesome buffing power September 28, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I used this buffer on a professional level non stop in a detail shop and never had anything but good things to say about it. We must have gone through 10 full/multi staged cars a day and it never broke down or complained. (the hardest part is getting the pads to center - the tool they include for that doesnt always work)
Get your self this buffer, a couple of pads of varying corseness and you'll be set to open up your own shop.
Bottom line, the best wheel you can buy May 27, 2008

I have been cleaning boats for a long time, and have worked with a lot of different products. This is by far the best buffing wheel out there. The speed control is seperate from the trigger (it's not controlled by how hard you pull it). That makes things way easier. It does great work, it's very comfortable and easy to use. I have actually dropped one in the water; it cut out and then worked the next day. Better than the Milwaukee, Dewalt, Craftsman, or any other one for that matter.
Makita Sander/Polisher January 12, 2007

I am a 71 year old woman, and yet I find this product very easy to use. I haven't used the sander feature; mainly the polisher, but it does a great job. I am very pleased with it and would highly recommend Makita products.

I bought this buffer to buff out and polish a natural penetrating oil finish that I applied to a white oak floor I installed in my son's bedroom.
The Makita buffer is very powerful and smooth-operating. I learned not to use the trigger lock, because if this tool gets away from you (and it has the power to, if you get too close to an interfering object), you really want it to stop on its own and not go through the wall. This didn't happen to me (really), but it could have.
I had to choose between the Dewalt and this one. I'm sure the Dewalt is a great tool also, but I have no regrets from buying the Makita.
Excellent Polisher May 1, 2008

I struggled with trying to buff out a 23 year old boat. After struggling with a hugely heavy old 1750 rpm polisher, I gave up and ordered the Makita. Wow, this almost made the job easy!! I cannot say enough good about this product.
It is the high quality standards I have come to expect from Makita. It is light at 6 lbs and is very easy to use. The trigger and ergonomic handle make it easy on the hands.
While the kit does not come with the foam pad as the picture would indicate, the wool pads (2) are of high quality.
