Overview
Not a hand cranked buffer, this Makita polisher lists an electrical rating for a household supply, even though one entry reads hand powered. The housing is plastic and the pad is large.
A big pad and a single listed speed make it a straightforward tool for working large panels. The limitation is the listing: no speed control, no pad type and no accessories are described, and the power source entry cannot be trusted.
Who it's for
Large panel polishing in a garage or shop is the use the pad size points to. Those who need a cordless tool or a variable speed setting should look at a fuller listing.
Pros and cons
- Large pad size
- Speed figure listed
- Electrical ratings listed
- Power source field contradicts ratings
- Speed control not listed
- Heavy for extended use
Performance notes
Pad speed governs how quickly the surface is worked, and one speed figure is given. A large pad covers more area per pass but needs steady two handed control. With no speed setting described, heat on paint depends on technique and on the pad used.
