Vector 7" Polisher

Hi guys I was looking on craigslist to try and find a a high speed buffer to start getting so practice using one I came across an add with a Vector 7" Buffer for sale for $65. I wanted to know are they any good and would and be worth the money or should I wait and buy another brand such as the makita or metabo. I searched online and found that a new one cost about $85. Thanks for the help, I also attached a link to the sale page.

I would caution against unknown buffers.

 

Stick that $65 in a sock and keep saving, your gonna wanna get a Makita 9227c

Keep doing searches and check the Pawn Shops :chips:

 

From What I heard the vector was a decent in expensive brand. You can buy them at pepboys so if you don't like it you can take it back as that is a bout the normal price of it anyway. But if your planning on using this for more than your cars I would say save your money and just get a makita and be done with it

 

We have two vector buffers at our semi bodyshop. They get used 5-8 hours every day. We've had them for a few years without any real problems. Only problem is the cord pulling out but that's b/c sometimes when they're working on scaffolding buffing the sides/tops of semis they lower the buffer to the ground by the cord. No complaints here.

 

they sell new for 30.00 he wants 65.00 used unreal.

 

Cool thanks for the help I might just wait and get the makita

 

Just wait and get a new Makita. It will be worth it when you finally get it.

 

I would hold off on this one. You never know how beat is really is and I would buy the Makita before the Matabo so you have a work horse. I agree with what rwisejr said. Thats the way to go and You will be much happier...:thumb:
