[@ScottHD]

Thank you! I'd be lying if I didn't say his (Todd/PF) format I took some inspiration from...just this being a much more specialized tool I went a lot deeper into them.

[@catbertz]

@@ScottHD Someone has to actually test products under real world conditions, exploring all aspects of usage, while stripping away the marketing BS. Consumer Reports had that rep, now Project Farm, Gamers Nexus (for PC hardware) and others carry the banner. People crave that truth, before they spend hard earned money. I think you're doing that effort justice! Testing is truth. Btw I know several other detailers in Los Angeles that watch your product testing. It's really useful.

And a spreadsheet with great collection of data, this is product comparison at it’s best! ….I especially appreciate the vibration data; as an older guy with a lifetime of chainsawing, weed whacking, edging etc. I have learned too late that Reynaud’s syndrome (lumberjack disease) is all too real and irreversible. And the constant ringing in my ears has taught me too late to protect my hearing, so you are really doing a great service to the younger detailers with a lifetime of tool use ahead of them. Thank you sir!

[@MasteringHow-To]

Been detailing for 25 year’s and owned my own detail business for 13 years. I use a dewalt corded rotary for heavy cut or deep scratches. I use my Bigfoot 15 for paint correction/Polishing. And I use my dewalt cordless from the video for finish work. I have two batteries with a fast charger. I can do any size car with two batteries. By the time one battery runs out… the next is charged. Takes about 30 minutes for a full charge on fast charger. Forgot the size battery. I didn’t want a heavy one. I think it’s the middle size one. Good weight distribution. I can even do some mild polishing with the dewalt. I find myself using it a lot! Just love the no cord. Nice to not have a cord over my shoulder dirtying my shirt! Hope this helps some people. Guys want the best all in one polish and wax? Rupes 1 step.

Superb test. The vibration and decibel info is invaluable. Thank you.

[@skzion2]

A tremendous video. Thanks. As a weekend warrior, I needed a machine about a year ago, and I got the DeWalt since I already had a couple of batteries and because of the long warranty. My assessment of that machine coincides with yours. My only complaint is the noise. I finally decided to use some foam ear plugs, which improved the experience immeasurably.

[@ScottHD]

Thank you. Yes it's definitely on the louder side.

[@ScottHD]

Agreed on both accounts! It should be up later this week or early next week. I have it all filmed - just have to put it together.

[@cordlessdetailer8676]

Great in depth video Scott. Been polishing for 34 years and switched to cordless about 2 years ago. Retired 28 corded polishers. Using 9 cordless polishers now. Not just polishers, all led lighting, vacuums, water sprayers, fans, blowers for drying are cordless. Not having a cord over the shoulder and having to always adjust it, is huge. Also for things like lighting, vacuums, fans, etc, no worries about tripping over the cord, especially when clients drop by to see their vehicles. I find it makes work flow smoother. I find using the manufacturer’s fast chargers are best. And having at least 2 of every charger is the way to go. Plus several of each battery. The DeWalt yellow fast charger, charges their 5Ah battery in about 50 minutes. Was just wondering why no cordless rotary polishers were tested?

[@ScottHD]

Thank you. Definitely looking into the rotary ones for a future test but the reason I hadn't tested those yet is because there are SO many of them...I would have to limit it to about 10 or so. Knowing how this KZbin thing works, the 10 I would get would end up with comments like "why didn't you test xxx brand" no matter what I did. With the cordless orbital ones I literally bought all of the available options so that comment couldn't happen

[@blackopal3138]

lol, sooo... sounds like, go big, or go corded? Do you have the fridge and dryer running on cordless yet? lol peace

[@stevelangsdorf7307]

I bought a Dewalt about a year and a half ago because I already have batteries, seems like I made a good choice. I absolutely love it the thing is a horse, and I love the way I can use it with one hand by holding on to the battery 😁😎

@@ScottHD I’m still gonna say from my use it’s the best I’ve used but also the 21mm with the Griots backing plate and the gold screw and weight makes a considerable difference in vibration and the overall bite of the polisher. That being said tho because it’s a newer machine I haven’t sold my cordless Flex 15MM da yet either

[@tomfromtacomas7249]

Wow wow wow. A big THANKS to you Scott and your whole crew for all the time, work, money and effort you put into making this video. I was personally hoping The Ryobi would’ve turned out much better, because I have a number of Ridgid tools and I can get an adapter to use my existing batteries. I believe if Ryobi would’ve used a brushless motor it would’ve solved runtime and heat issues but they didn’t. I have 11 buffers now, all plug-in so I want to add a cordless product to my arsenal. I’m thinking of the Dewalt but whatever I end up purchasing I’ll buy it through your affiliate link. Thanks again for all your fine work

[@ScottHD]

You're very welcome!

[@evodave69]

I have tons of detail equipment and high end cordless tools and bought the popoman off Amazon a year ago with an extra 4ah battery and 1/2” impact for stupid cheap and it’s been amazing . Good pads and some ultimate compound will blow your mind …. It’s great and having an extra 4ah battery always on the charger eliminates any downtime …. It’s by far the best smoothest bang for the buck cordless unit you can get and has held up perfectly

[@ScottHD]

I don’t think the Milwaukee was available at the time, but would you consider a round two episode with current competitors? I’m considering buying one soon.

[@paulcalif]

Thank you for all the work you put into this. I purchased the dreaded Ryobi because I've got 7 batteries and a charger that charges 6 batteries in series (one after the other). I haven't used a buffer/polisher in a Long time, I have one of those super heavy duty ones. I do worry about the heat on the Ryobi, but I haven't used it yet. Since I'm not used to a small polisher, I'm thinking that maybe I can use the D Handle. I can always return it, but with the low vibration, I'm going to give it a try.

[@wanderson1978]

[@PeteyMcSavage]

Thank you this info is so helpful

[@Deviantsoundz]

Maybe in a couple of years when runtime can make it to a couple of hours with usable power for cutting i will look at a cordless. As is they only make sense if you already got a bunch of batteries that can be used with them or if you just want to spend a ton on new batteries.

[@ScottHD]

They are well on their way, but you can see that if you took little pieces from each tool, you'd have an amazing machine here.
