    I was planning to buy a Flex, but I can get the Makita BO6040 locally, which is a big plus.
    Have many used the Makita? It will turn into a circular with the push of a button, but it still oscilates...which could mean that it has forced rotation like the Flex?

    What say you?

    There was a guy on autopia that had the B06040 and after trying the Flex - kept the Makita. I have the Flex and although I like it and the ergonomics are good - it's loud on speed 6, and I find myself using my PC more. Tip on the PC - lose the handle, screw a bolt/washer in the hole and the plastic won't rattle!

    There is a new PC with more power coming out soon, I'd buy that over that Megs thing (heard too many failures) or have you considered a cyclo?
