I'm painting a motorcycle,Frame touch up,side covers,tanks,fenders, and many small parts.I've been buffing with a borrowed Makita 9227C and love it...so much,I ordered one for myself.( MYTOOLSTORE.COM for $184.00 to my door).It has a loop handle instead of the one like a drill.You can flip it over to rest on the handle. It keeps your buffing pad from getting any debris on it and your foam pads don't loose thier shape.It doesn't bog down,and the body is small enough to hold in one hand while holding the small parts in the other.This way you don't sling your small parts across the room(usually).I run it on 2 1/2 with the Meguires hook and loop backing plate,with foam pads.I can't compare it to any of the others because this is the only one I've used but,I am very happy with it.
