Look what the UPS man dropped off today!

Became a member of the rotary club, w00t! :gidiup: Initially, I was going to pick up a Makita. The more I thought about it, I started leaning towards the Dynabrade. And then, after reading all the "Makita or Flex3403/Dynabrade/DeWalt?" threads and having hands-on experience with a Makita last year and 3403 a couple of weeks ago, I decided on the Metabo.

:applause2:

I can't wait to put this thing to use!

Here are the pics, of course:





Next three compare the Metabo to the 3401:







I've got a 3M BP & M14 adapter on the way from Nica as well as a 75mm BP coming courtesy of Ben @ Rubbish Boy's.

:buffer: :headbang:

 

you sun of a bitch!!!!

 

:worship2::worship2:good luck with it by the way ...

 

But, but, but...why the hate?

:sorry:

:comfort:

Let's sniff some wax together Tom!

Hehe, thanks man! :thumb:

 

I haven't laughed this hard since last year...:thumb::thumb::thumb:

Good luck with your new machine. Are you going to give us an update or a review to tell us how you like it...:thumb::thumb::thumb:

 

Sweet buy. Just used a Metabo grinder in school last night for the first time.

 

i would love too.but only souveran . im in that kinda mood

 

Nice deal. You outta buy that nice metal box they make for it.

 

Dude I'm coming to your house to hijack some of your stuff...LOL

 

HAHAHA Tom your comments are CHOICE!

 

LMAO :catfight:

 

Absolutely...I'm about to go see how loud it is compared to the 3401.

Thanks, I got a great deal on it.

That'd be nice, but it's like $70+...for a case! Since my toolbox is essentially empty, I'm gonna do what Nica did and put some foam in there to house both the Metabo and 3401.

LOL, we should all get together for another meet to see how much we've "grown" in a year as detailers...that way you could check out both the 3403 (DJ_JonnyV's) and the Metabo! I'm sure Ben's got some cool stuff for us to check out as well.

I gotta say I was shocked when I first saw the comment, but then I saw it was from Tom and knew he didn't mean it in a bad way. At least I hope not! :lol:

 

Oh you finally got it eh Gary?

It'll be a lot of fun!

Hey Rog, what's that metal box you speak of for the Metabo?

:giterdone: :nod:

 

niiiice where did you buy it from?

 

Yeah Denzil, it arrived a day earlier than expected; was scheduled for 3/1. I believe topoftheline.com carries the metal case.

I'll try to get something posted up in the StL sub-forum.

It's a secret! :giggle:

 

Great pick up on a great machine. I've had mine for about a year and half and love it. I wouldn't trade it away for any other rotary.

 

me serious? naaa . i love you guys!!!

 

Nice pick up here sir!

 

Nice purchase, you'll be pleased with the Metabo :applause: :applause:
