Thread: 3 inch mini buffer

Tweet

I can't give you any feedback on the Griot's Buffer, but I can tell you about the two I do have-

About a Year ago I bought this:

http://www.acdelco-tools.com/index.p...product_id=169

And, about 3 Months ago I bought this:

https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-...dless/2438-22x

Why did I buy two? That darn Internet, as Body Forums and such told me the Milwaukee was better-well, was it?

I was really satisfied with the AC Delco unit (obviously a rebranded Tool), and the Batteries (It comes with two) charge quickly (actually, if you use it continuously the Batteries will charge completely between changes allowing you to keep going) and the unit is small and easy to maneuver-

However, I am a big Milwaukee Tool owner and lover, and this Buffer did not disappoint (other than Batteries)-it will Buff at a slightly faster RPM than the AC Delco, and has good torque-if you buy it as a kit, the downside is that it comes with one "Red" Lithium Battery and one standard Battery-in use, you can run the "Red" Battery out, put in the standard Battery and it will run it out before the "Red" Battery is recharged, so, if you buy it I would suggest to buy a second "Red" Battery-I did so yesterday, and the best Price I could find for a real "Red" replacement was $44.00 (shipped)-

If I only had to have one I'd go with the Milwaukee, although the AC Delco is a very close second (and since you don't have to buy additional Batteries, it is cheaper too-possibly the better buy overall)-I could live with it-

In the Griot's kit I see that they are including "Lake Country" Pads-I took a tip from Shine and I buy all of my Compounds (V32, V34, V36, V38) from Chemical Guys (they work really well-thanks Shine!)-Chemical Guys offer not only their "Hex-Logic" Pads, they also offer the Lake Country Pads as well-IMHO, after using both, I should have just listened to Shine, as the Lake Country Pads ARE the best (btw, it looks like Lake Country is a Business and they make lots of different Pads)-now I get all of my Compounds, Waxes, microfiber Towels, etc.-everything for the Paint-from Chemical Guys-they are quite good-

This is the Lake Country site:

Hope this helps-
