      Buff

      Works well, it would be nice to have a Velcro strap on it for the really long lead, otherwise great

      Apex Customs Grasshopper v3

      I finally took the plunge and bought an Apex Customs Grasshopper V3, I didn't realise it was going to be this good, having come from a Rupes LHR 75 mini polisher ( used to have two and I sold both)this Polisher is light years ahead of the Rupes.

      For starters the ergonomics are much better with a lot of rubber inserts to reduce vibration , it's very smooth and very powerful! 750 watt motor you can definitely feel it . It's very quiet and extremely balanced very hard to stall except in the most awkward shape of a car. Once you master it , it will not stall. Highly recommended! The guys at Apex Customs have put a lot of thought into the engineering and design. Would I buy one absolutely without hesitation. I did!
