Harbor Freight DA Polisher $50

95ragtop · Mar 11, 2016

I've been wanting to pick one of these up for a while to get my feet wet with detailing and this deal is the cheapest I have seen them. Not sure if it will work with a 20% coupon.

I've got one and it works good for the price

This is really tempting, I've been looking for one. This price is almost too good to be true.

Well I ordered one. Like you said, great deal to get started.

If you look up mods, there's a couple things you can do to improve it.

Just went by the store, didn't even know there was one near me. They had these things in over stock so I bought one. Can't wait to mess some paint up!!! :321:

I'll be in the same boat when my Adams stuff and polisher get here :clap:

That's what I've been using.

These aren't bad, however if you plan on making using a DA a regular thing you will find this makes things pretty tedious. The power is low, so while good for a beginner, it'll take say a 3-4 hour paint correction using a Flex or Rupes, about 2-3 hours longer. 6" is also a pretty big throw to use for detailing IMO. I wouldn't really go above 5.5".

Didn't even know about these. I bought a TORQ during their special a few weeks ago.

Agreed. Nearly every detailing site that recommends these DA's tell you to get different backing plate and pads.

So would I be able to Change out the 6" backing plate to a 5.5" with no performance issues?

Yeah. I actually went with this 5" and Lake Country Pads.
