    Flex 3401 Durability

    I was just wondering if any of you guys have had any issues with your 3401. I have had mine for a few years and ran the heck out of it and it is still going strong. I am just curious and would enjoy any feed back on longevity or any other issues that you may have had.

    I don`t have one but plan to purchase one someday when my work warrants it. Everything ive read pretty much tells me its built like a tank and will run almost forever with no issues

    I have had the pleasure of owning all the flex`s 3403 included. I can tell you the build quality is second to none. You know those old Mercedes that drive like tanks and run forever... That`s a 3401. I`ve power washed my 3401 because of how much polish was in it. Fired right up, runs perfect to this day. It is by far my favorite all around corrective device.

    I thought so. I will be looking for one in the future. Both the 3401 & the rotary.

    Love my flex. I have had to repair the "spindle" (unsure of the exact part name). These machines are very well made. However, my interchangeable backing plates have broken twice. I`d still say I got my money`s worth from both products!
