At 8 lbs. it's a bit heavy. Range of speeds look ok. You may want to email him to find out if the trigger is variable speed. That's a big plus.

I just got the Hitachi from Coastal tool for $103 shipped.....not sure of it's still on sale though.

Yeah not all of the lowes have this sale price, you have to search around. Try calling your lowes and ask them to price match it and they should

Porter Cable is the way to go. If it's not an orbital buffer, and you're not a pro with it, you'll probably burn your paint up.

I haven't seen any Lowes with that price either. All of the ones around here are $110!
