Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-08-14 Summary: Amazon good...Makita bad. ... The buffer really worked great when I finally got to use it. It did not come as advertized with the hook and loop backing pad. After contacting Makita and getting no where, Amazon agreed to send me another buffer. Unfortunately for me, it too came packaged incorrectly. So, after some discussion Amazon agreed to credit my account the amount of money necessary to buy the backing pad. ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-05-13 Summary: Great grinder for concrete countertops ... I bought this grinder and used it to grind and polish a concrete countertop. The grinder works really well. I had no experience at all in grinding and polishing, but this grinder made it easy. The countertop turned out better than I could have hoped. I used six diamond pads with the grinder (50 grit up to 1500 grit). The grinder comes with a flexible backer pad which works well for grinding and smoothing the concrete (50 grit to 400 grit). But I found a ridid pad (which you have to buy separately) worked better for ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-06-03 Summary: Great tool for many applications ... I purchased this polisher to finish concrete countertops I poured for my kitchen. I had never used a wet grinder, and the Makita was surprisingly easy to handle. The hose adapter doesn't come with the polisher, but a tool store in town supplied me with that no problem ($2.00 if I remember correctly). I've used the Flex polisher since I completed my countertop, and I must say that I prefer the Makita. The speed and water supply controls are on the body of the grinder, making it easy to change water pressure and speed ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-01-11 Summary: great polisher - much better than the cheapies ... I bought a cheap polisher for $30 that did a lousy job polishing the car and motorcycles. Then I bought the Milwaukee - I can tell you this is the real one - I was able to put a mirror finish back on scratched motorcycle tanks whereas the cheap polisher only seemed to create a mess. The balance, vibration, and longevity of this machine is far superior to the cheap ones. Spend some extra money and buy a real tool ! ...more

[2] ... Review | At about 9 pounds, this polisher is an easy-to-use weight and size, and the side handle can be moved to the left or right to accommodate each user's preference. Very handy.

There's an easy-to-set dial speed control. The 11 amp motor never bogs down, making it easy to bear down when a deep polish is required....more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-07-18 Summary: Easy Handling Polisher/Grinder/Sander ... I bought my Makita PV7001C Vertical Polisher about 3 years ago and have been extremely pleased with its performance, ease-of-use, and versatility. This isn't just a great polisher, it's also a grinder and sander. I had used a similar tool in the early 70's on a job between years of college and was determined I would some day get one for myself. But no matter where I looked at tools, I never saw one, by any manufacturer. Then I stumbled onto the PV7001C. It can be used with a 7" grinding pad, not to be confused with ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-03-27 Summary: Clean RV ... We purchased this Polisher to clean the oxidation off of our Motor home and apply a fresh coat of wax.
