Man FMINUS you beat me to it...hahahahaha..that's wicked :righton: two Metabos = No problems :righton: What can I say I like having back up, just in case...you never know when you might need two rotary's...what if friends come over...can't have them sit there watching me why not put them to work hahahahaha no but seriously I've done that remember the Toyota Sienna, I had the owner, owner's sun and my self working on that bad boy
FMINUS, you've lost it! What are you doing to show us next, two M5s to fix the "putting too many miles on my car" problem? I FOOKIN' LOVE IT!!!
I have 3 rotaries, i bought 2 years ago the makita 9227 and last year a metabo. The metabo broke 2 months after and then went to the shop...i bought another makita :woot: Metabo are a little fragile and when you need it for a 8 hours of polishing...it cracks
That is awesome! I've been looking into getting a Metabo for a while now. I have been really happy with my Hitachi.
I had some issues in the past with the thermo shutdown on my metabo when I polished a porsche for 9+ hours. Yesterday I was polishing a hammered black lexus LS430. I had to go with black wool and strada 1000 polish on some areas. Sure enough it happened again. I almost left the hitachi at the house. No way my PC could even think about correcting this car. I still have to go back and finish the car today. I was using my air mover to cool the metabo while I was wool polishing with the hitachi. The metabo hung in there for a good 5 hours. But like you guys said a long day and you want to have a spare.
Or you could just buy one Makita. My 9227 has never let me down (knock wood). Come to think of it neither has my Makita BO6040. Been trying to justify buying a Flex but with my Makita BO6040 I really do not need two machines that do the same thing.
As in the 3401?!?! I have to admit I'm actually a little shocked at that, but have no idea why. Heh, when I read your thread title and clicked the link, I already knew you'd picked up a 2nd Metabo before the page loaded and the pic came up...good form!!! :thumb:
What did you do. Buy two brand new ones at the same time. Thats to funny and a lot of money...Flex for me too...:thumb:
