wifesdweeb says "Much improvement from my previous Craftsman polisher" about Craftsman 10 in. Buffer/Polisher

wifesdweeb — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 17:20:30 GMT

I had a Craftsman buffer polisher for years that I used and abused until it finally started making soo much noise that I had to wear ear plugs to use it. I trashed it and started looking for a replacement, a deal too good to pass up. I wanted quality at a fair price as we all do. Nobody I researched came up with a better buffer polisher than this Craftsman 10". The quietness of it is amazing compared to my old unit. No need to even turn up the radio while I'm working. The motor has has to have more hp than my last one because it is even faster. Of course the 2" bigger pad could be the reason. The redesigned handle gives you the option to hold on in various positions as needed to polish different auto body side shapes. My old unit only had 2 grabbing positions meaning your body would have to do more twisting and bending. I was having so much fun that after my car was done, I did my visiting daughter's Escape, took 20 minutes, and offered to do my neighbor's car. Some people think that it's...

DiscoDog says "Craftsman 10" Buffer/Polisher is Excellent" about Craftsman 10 in. Buffer/Polisher

This buffer/polisher far exceeded my hopeful expectations. I am 63 years old and my whole life I have had several new cars, many of them black. I am a fanatic about keeping my cars clean and waxed. Over the years I have had 3 of these orbital 10" buffers and the last one finally quit working. I know from experience, at least with the three I have had in the past, that they do stop spinning when not much pressure is applied. I have always thought that it would be nice if I could find one that would not stop spinning so easily because that would allow me to work faster. That was my goal when shopping for a car buffer this time around and decided that in this quest, price would not be a factor. I purchased the Craftsman for the reason that it had the highest rated amperage of all the ones I looked at with 1.1 amps. The others ranged from .82 to .95 amps. I decided to go with the highest amp rating in hopes that it was a measure of working strength which would equate to being able to......

This buffer works great, we use 2 of them, one for taking the wax off and one for putting wax on. They are so quiet. And they do a great job....

I han to add some hook & loop to my extension cord to keep it from coming unpluged. Using the piece that comes on the buffer alone did not keep it pluged in.

pajazzma says "10 in buffer for faster buff work" about Craftsman 10 in. Buffer/Polisher

Great Polisher and Buffer. I use it mostly when cleaning my car exterior. the 10 in radius makes polishing faster, reducing work time in half? A little bit difficult cleaning or reaching under the side mirror though, but over all does the job well!...

Nattyghan says "Craftsman 7"buffer is awesome at removing scuff marks on floors" about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

Nattyghan — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 15:28:59 GMT

My contractor had a buffer and I bought this one to buff granite countertops, and stone or wood floors. It is quiet and powerful. I like using it almost daily for spot touch ups. It is a good quality for a low price after craftsman discounts and free shipping from sears. The only con is finding the craftsman buffer bonnets, however, other brands work well....

I bought this on sale a couple of months ago and have had a couple of opportunities to use it. I used it first on my 1972 El Camino and it sure did take a lot less time and effort to polish it up over doing it all by hand!

I then used it on my 2009 F-150, a truck I hated to wax but now don't mind it a bit!

I like the way the handle is set making this polisher quite easy to use at all different angles. It has enough power to do the jobs I want it to do around the home. I even used it on my new air compressor and now it shines like crazy and didn't wear me out doing it!

For the money this one is hard to beat!

The buffer/polisher is the BEST! I used it on my 1966 Mustang and it shined it up beautifully. I used both pads and they stand up well to both cleaning and wax applications. Best Price Around. Thankyou SEARS. Another HAPPY customer as well as my WIFE.. Its HER Mustang.

I don't buy anything but craftsman tools. I love that I can put them in Layawayand pay a little at a time, which really helps when your a single mother raising childeren. I like that it take the same battery as all my other tools do. I can get the kids to wash the car more often with the new toy.lol I love sears and will do most of my shopping there or K-mart because I love my points, and of course the layaway. I helps a lot. Thank you for your help! Mary

mrkoje says "Piece of crap - better off doing it with a drill" about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

mrkoje — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 20:36:20 GMT

I had high hopes for this little machine at $40.00 on the shelf. First off, it only comes with an applicator bonnet (crap - throw it away) and one terry cloth buffer/polish bonnet. (Hardly usable)

Take my advice and save your $40.00 on buying a good wheel to use on your drill or spend the extra money and get a quality product. This little POS has really ruined the craftsman name for me. I don't think I'll buy another one of their products again.

AlphaRo says "The Craftsman 10 in. Buffer/Polisher lacks power, doesn't work." about Craftsman 10 in. Buffer/Polisher

AlphaRo — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:27:17 GMT

The 10 in. buffer/polisher comes in a great all-in-one storage bucket with two bonnets each: applicator bonnet, terry cloth bonnet, buffing bonnet, and a hand applicator sponge. An excellent value, if only it worked for what it was intended. The motor on the buffer is not powerful enough to polish or buff, let alone try to apply wax on any type of surface. When you apply any pressure on the buffer, the pad literally stops orbiting and/or turning in a circular motion as intended. The buffer/polisher is thus rendered useless when attempting to apply wax or cleaner on autos, counters, floors or wood furniture because a 1 hour job turns into a 3-4 hour job when you cannot apply pressure during application or removal of wax, cleaner, or buffing solutions.

Therefore, I cannot recommend this item to any person interested in buffing or polishing cars, counters, furniture, or floors.
