Gem orbital buffer, what's so special? -
07-23-2010, 01:18 AM
I see that these Gem orbital polishers are like $290 and some on sale for $255. Any of you guys or gals know what is so special about a Gem orbital that it should cost so much? Furthermore, what would it's main use be? Is it a wax spreader or is it capable of doing more? I have an opportunity to pick one of these up for dirt cheap and was just wondering what the deal is with them. Thanks, TD

I have a few of them Dave .. they are nice for final buffing of large flat surfaces .. they have a little correction ability but do require bonnets as they do not have velcro for pads
I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

This guy only wants $15 for it so I may pull the trigger and purchase it. If nothing else I may be able to make a buck or two on it or wax my kitchen floor with it.
