Brent...

Thanks for the info on tools, Id never considered the same tools could be in different cases, with different names except in the case of Craftsman, I suppose its just like the old VCR and DVD Machines.

I'm not a guy with a garage full of tools but I usually buy something that will last, I've bought off those tool trucks before so I know what you mean about some of their tools being on the cheap side.

Ben told me that Dvelup buy their DA sander and modify it to be a DA, adding the offset, maybe it is a good tool with quality parts inside...

The Porter Cable 7424 is a terrific machine for polishing cars, but I doubt you'd get much success with that 6 inch head on headlights, too big and difficult to get in small spaces, I know their are smaller heads available for the 7424 at some detailing companies on the net but I hear it makes the PC vibrate, and yes Id bet there are counterweights available, still the machine was designed to use a 5'' and 6'' pad.

We need something with a small offset so the tool doesn't bounce around if it should catch on the bumper or other car body parts, of course everything would be masked, still we don't need to damage anyone's car or our tools, The Metabo looks good... The Grex air sander has a 2 inch head that's why I was interested in that tool at one time.
