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....

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.

madgolfer says "It's Brother-Proof" about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

madgolfer — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 18:31:26 GMT

Gave one of these to my brother for buffing a soda-blasted aluminum boat. Looks like the Craftsman model 10721 7" corded buffer did a great job, he didn't break it and had no complaints so I went back to Sears and bought the Craftsman 10" 2800 rpm "Buffer in a Bucket" for myself. I'll let you know.

cj4056 says "Craftsman 7" orbital buffer is lightweight w/3800 rpm" about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

cj4056 — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:07:24 GMT

Been using orbital buffers for 25 years. Currently own 6/7/9/10/11 inch buffers. This one caught my eye with the 3800 rpm, most have 2400-2800 rpm. Have been doing autos and aircraft for a long time. Very pleased with the quality, handle system, balance and effectiveness of buffers.

newsman89 says "Not a bad buffer but 7 "pads are impossible to find." about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

newsman89 — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 21:15:25 GMT

This is not a bad little buffer and it did the job for me, putting a nice shine on the family minivan and sedan, but I'm sure a professional detailer would find some things lacking here, like variable speeds and a bit more umph to the motor. I found it comfortable to use with the perimeter handle, but the short cord that must be mated to an extension cord does create some real problems dangling and getting in the way. I tried other reviewers' suggestions about looping the cord around my neck, but only found that uncomfortable especially when changing buffer positions. Often times, the connection would just rub the surface of the car, and occasionally get snagged on things like the roof luggage carrier. By far, the worst problem is the fact that 7 inch replacement buffer pads are about impossible to find. You can find 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 inch pads all over the place, from auto supply houses to detailing shops, but I defy you to find much of anything for a 7 inch buffer/polisher. Not...

WillowGreen says "Simple Good Buffer Required, Simple Good Buffer Received" about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

WillowGreen — Wed, 12 May 2010 15:54:42 GMT

I received this buffer as a Christmas gift. I already owned a couple year old "Brand X" 10 inch single speed orbital buffer so I didn't really need a new one, but I decided to keep this buffer nonetheless. Out of curiousity I wanted to compare the "new" buffer to the "old" buffer. Side by side the buffers both yielded similar results regarding the outcome of use, they made two family members' red cars look shiny and good. However, this buffer had three features my old 10 incher didn't have that I quickly came to appreciate.

First, is the perimeter handle system. I like it, its ergo, and it works. My old buffer had the standard 3 and 9 o'clock positioned handles which is what I was used to and admittedly worked fine. While it may not seem like a big deal, the ability to hold the buffer at a 12 and 6 o'clock position is especially comfortable when leaning over the hood of my larger, lifted vehicle.The second feature I like is the hook and loop (velcro) strip at the end of the...

Just purchased this and used it on my full sized truck for the first time. Although my paint is getting worse then I would have liked, this buffer did and excellent job of applying and removing wax. If you are expecting to buff out scratches with this unit, don't. That is not what it was intended to do. If you are looking for a cheap buffer to save your arm then buy this product. I also had a hard time finding 7" bonnets so I bought some 9". They worked fine as long as you leave the buffer in contact with the vehicles surface....

kminar says "a decent buffer" about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

sears-feed — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 18:30:08 GMT

i recieve this for an xmas gift. Overall it does and works pretty good. I think it needs a quicker motor with varibable speed control. like everyone said the power cord is a pain to deal with but I put it over my shoulder and it seems to stay out of the way. It does a far better job rather then buffing or applying wax by hand. The buffer is rather light weight and easy to use. I recomend you use a wax/polish that is easy to remove. For the price it is definetly worth it. Make sure you use the right bonnets. use the terry bonnet to remove the first coat. then use the micro fiber bonnet to polish, then use the synthetic fuzzy for a high gloss shine. the bonnets are pricey. i shopped around and found 2-3 packs for the same price....

Anonymous says "Decent for a single speed unit." about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

sears-feed — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:30:07 GMT

Doesn't quite reach a speed fast enough for excellent results, however better than hand polishing. If you're not a professional detailer, you'll never notice mid results. However, be careful not to haze the paint by using too much polish/sealant/wax. You want to keep it moving, but not too fast, leaving a THIN coat. Multiple thin coats=superior shine; One thick coat= hazy, non-reflective, streaky shine. Keep changing the bonnets, new bonnet for each product. My biggest complaint is the stubby cord making outward reaching impossible without dragging extension chord acrossed your car. Really frustrating to say the least....

MoparManiac says "Pretty good buffer" about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

sears-feed — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 04:15:18 GMT

Bout the only bad thing I have to say is about the power cord. because of it's length (or lack of) and no sort of retention device, it tends to come unplugged. Other than that, I've got nuttin bad ta say. It did exactly what I needed it to do....

I've never used a buffer before. My car was highly oxidized. This product was very easy to use. It did much better than I expected! Wish I would have bought it years ago!...

MstrC says "It Really Does Work!" about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

sears-feed — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 22:30:05 GMT

IMPORTANT! follow the instructions! Use a LIQUID rubbing compound and a LIQUID wax (preferably one with color match). Also get extra bonnets. If you have an older vehicle without clear coat and the paint is all oxidized this will fix it. The smaller size makes it much easier to use for extended periods allows access to tight places. You will not believe the results! I am totally happy with this little buffer....

SFBay says "job well done" about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

sears-feed — Sat, 26 May 2007 14:00:33 GMT

I trust the craftsman name and appreciate the compact size of the buffer. The larger buffers can be taxing on your arms if you have a larger vehicle (Larger = heavier). I caught it on sale for less than $30 and couldn't leave the store without it. My only caution with the buffer is to ensure you have all the bonnets you need before you leave the store. The lambs wool/synthetic fiber bonnets which are used for the final polishing step are hard to find in my area. Overall, a fine purchase that has saved several hours a month spent hand-waxing my truck....

PowerToolDonald says "Great product!" about Craftsman 7 in. Buffer/Polisher

sears-feed — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 16:55:17 GMT

This buffer/polisher is GREAT! We were trying to wax our family's four cars by hand. Our arms would wear out after doing less than half of the vehicles. My Dad has a huge Ford F150. It took forever to do the old fashioned way not to mention our arms felt like they were about to fall off. This thing applies the wax quickly. After the wax sets, it removes the wax easily. I don't know how I got by before without this thing. I love sears products, and this is another great power tool!...
