Customer Reviews
Summary : Power & Performance
Review : This is a good tool. The motor is powerful with plenty of torque and yet well controlled with the variable speed selector. Most of the time I use the 300 rpm setting. At all speeds the machine is forgiving. The handles are well designed and allow a good range of grips. Some reviewers have commented negatively on the handles. Seems to be a non-issue for me. Especially nice if you are ambidextrous. I have worked with the tool for periods of 2 to 3 hours without fatigue. I have owned Makita tools for over 25 years. This one seems to be of as good quality as my electric 10" miter box (purchased in 1979). The cord is long but to work around a car I use a 12 ga. extension cord. I am using foam pads (purchased separately from Palm Beach Automotive) and the wool pads that came with the tool. Learning curve is not steep. Very important to me is the noise level of any tool. Construction work is bad for your hearing. This tool is quieter than many I have used. I do not intend to use this as a sander and can't comment on how it would work. I compared this with the Porter-Cable machine. It is a better tool. A few dollars more less do not matter when you will have a tool for the rest of your life.
Summary : Great tool
Review : Just as described which is just what I needed. I changed it to a 4" driver pad for polishing stone. It worked great. I like the variable speed which is hard to find on a tool. Can't wait to use it to get the scratches out of my car.
Summary : Crabber
Review : This is a nice hatchet to use for chopping chicken necks for your trot line. Light weight, straight edge.
