Just bought the Makita Rotary. I think it is a nice product. The tool store that I was at had about every type of rotary on the market. Obviously, I spent some time just getting the feel of each one.
The Makita had nice balance. I felt the Hitachi was pretty equal to the Makita, but I trust Makita more for power tools however. DeWalt is my preferred tool brand, but the DeWalt was a little heavy, and the RPM selector I felt was not as precise as the Makita. The Milwaukee... well lets just say I don't have the Popeye arms to work with that heavy beast.
Anyway, now I have 3 questions:
1) So with #9, 80, and 83 in my arsenal already, what should I add?
2) Also, what other special tools do I need for the rotary?
3) What size pads do I use? Can I use the same size as those for my DA?
I have one show car, and am starting to detail other cars here and there (so somewhere between production work and showcar work).
