FLEX KOMPAKT 3 POLISHER

Perfect for polishing out after wet sanding small parts, and is very easy to use for headlights. Much easier than using a drill for 3in pads, easy to lock the trigger with thumb, or one finger. Been using for about 2 weeks now, and love this thing., quality built, as expected from Germany. Works great for motorcycle parts, buffed out a bike gas tank with ease, speed control is at the end of the Polisher, and the perfect spot to adjust the speed on the fly. The only down side is no backing pads included, but I got a quality one for about 17 bucks from Chemical Guys,

This is now my go to detail polisher

Get the extended warranty! I thought stepping up to a 'quality' tool would mean I wouldn't need the support, but it didn't. Unfortunately, I didn't actually start using it until a couple of months after I got it and when I started using it, it was great, but as I said, after about 20, maybe 30 minutes of total operation, it just quit. I'm assuming it burned out its switch, but who knows? I'm ultra disappointed. I'm not sure what to do with this very expensive paperweight.

I use this in my shop with a 5 inch plate and a rupes twisted wool pad. I only use it on speed 1 and very little pressure.I like to use the polisher to take out 2000-2500 grit sanding scratches. After that I use an orbital to polish.

Early review upon delivery:The Amazon listing says made in China, Flex's website says made in Germany. There is no statement on box, product or instructions which give an indication of country of origin.This is bare-tool only with just the tool and handle. You will need to purchase the backing plates and pads of your choice. This is a good thing as it keeps cost down and let's you pick your plate/pads.

Made in Germany, nice tool if quality and smooth operation is important. I've been using it with 1" and 2" pads to get up to the edge of adjacent parts. Unlike a DA the edge of the pad can be accurately controlled. Ample power and nice soft start feature.

A photo of this item in the cage it is showing with the backing plate but it is not. It is also not mentioned in the ad that the backing plate is needed. This added two days to my waiting for the item as I had to order the backing plate after I got the polisher. This places the item in the category of buyer beware of the small print, or lack of same.This ride him and all items should be sold as pictured.

Thank you for shipping on time. Polisher made it home working fine and looks good. Thank you. I am happy with my new 2nd Flex Polisher. I ordered some other things from someone else but they could not deliver the right product and the other could not even get it out of the warehouse. Thanks again.
