Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 7 in. Variable Speed Polisher Kit W/ (2) 5.0Ah Battery & Charger

Absolutely love it! I went to the 2017 SEMA show in Las Vegas, and I looked for the Milwaukee booth but they didn’t have one this year. I wanted to test one of these before I bought a couple. Thank goodness some of the reps for some of the compound companies had one, like Farecla,3D, Menzerna, for me check it out. They let me use it and I was sold. Haven’t regretted for one second. We use them all day everyday.

This variable speed polisher puts the variable in variable speed polisher. It has a dial on the handle that allows you a wide selection of speeds. But then it also has four different speeds actuated by how far you depress the trigger, allowing for even more variation in your variable speeds. On top of that, it comes with variable handles–you can use a straight handle, attachable at different points on the tool to allow you to hold it in different configurations. Or you can choose to attach a curved handle if that’s more your speed. So many variables! Only a couple of issues I can find with this tool: 1. Home Depot offers very limited options for 7 inch buffing pads. I only found one at my local store, and two online. I think you have to go to an auto parts store to really get any variety. 2. It’s a wee bit on the heavy side, so it could become a bit of a drag to use for extended periods.

I’m a professional detailer with over 30 years of experience owning my own business I’ve always use Milwaukee tools but this battery operated buffer is worth every penny I spent for it makes my job so much easier never could imagine how fun it was to buff the car without being chained to a cord

This polisher first and foremost will save you plenty of elbow grease! It is fairly light weight and is about a foot and a half long in size. It fits firmly in your hands and only weighs a few pounds. It is made for both right and left handed people when you use the U shape mount on the top of the tool. It is mainly for right handed people with the edge grip (used on the right side). This product does not come with buffers or bonnets. I used a low end generic brand bonnet to wax not one, but three cars. The bonnets fit around the disc and held in place with a velcro like grip. With each car, I applied a thin coat of polishing wax after having washed them. Then I buffed it out with the tool. I always used the slowest speed possible for fear of over waxing the car’s finish. The battery life is long enough to do a full car. You get two battery packs that take on a full charge in about 30 minutes. So you can easily do more than one car in a day if you have to.While buffing out the wax, I let the weight of the tool do all the work. I had it within my grip at all times, but did not have to use a bit of pressure while waxing the car. I went panel by panel on the car and let the machine do its thing. I primarily had the bonnet flat against the surface, but when curvatures in the car panels came up, I was able to maneuver it to polish it nicely using the side of the wheel. The 7 inch width is pretty good to work with too. It is not too small and not so large that you lose control of the device.You can go clockwise or counterclockwise with the movement. I would recommend doing both so that you never over wax or over swirl your vehicle. It also is not very loud. I was expecting something very noisy, but it is not.If you are like me, and have bum shoulders this is your device! I was able to quickly apply a light coat of wax in about 7-10 minutes time all over the car. Then I used the polisher and was done with about 25 more minutes work. So in 35 minutes, I had a freshly waxed car and did NOT have sore arms! In our household, we have three cars. I like to give them light coats of wax two times a year. Once in the late fall and once in the middle of spring (pending weather). It is a bit pricey, but that said, this polisher will pay for itself within little time if you are into waxing your own automobiles. And it is so incredibly easy!I did not lift the wax on any speed higher than that lowest possible setting. I did bump it up a notch when I was done to use on the windows. I let the wax residue on the bonnets do all the work. I did not apply any more wax. It came out nicely and streak free!I did not use this on anything other than cars. So I can not speak to anything you may want to polish other than that. I was very pleased with the outcome and dare I say, look forward to waxing my cars! It is no longer a chore.

Admittedly, I’ve never really been one to keep the finish on my vehicles maintained to the extent that they should be, but with the freedom from an extension cord that this great new Milwaukee polisher provides, I now have absolutely no excuse. I gave my wife’s Mustang a full polish this weekend with it, and it was a joy to use. With her finish being in pretty good shape, one full battery was enough to give it a nice shine. When I get to doing my neglected truck, I’m sure I’ll be glad to have the 2nd battery. The charger included is Milwaukee’s new Rapid Charger, which charges 30-40% faster than the standard one, depending on battery model, so getting through even the largest buffing job should be no problem.Kit includes tool, two 5.0 M18 batteries and rapid charger. The backing pad is also included, but you will need to provide buffing pad / bonnet and compound.

Great tool but batteries don’t last as long as they say. I can buff one car on 3 battery charges. The tool itself is awesome, but for the price, it should come with a carrying case. Even my $225 Makita buffers came with carrying cases. I use my makita case for my Milwaukee buffer and that’s just bad advertising.

Just perfect Came ahead of time

Me and my guys never realized how much easier buffing would be with a buffer without a cord. They can get the job done faster and it’s now easier.

Great polisher, but I’ve always been a big fan of Milwaukee M18 Fuel tools. This polisher is the same quality that I’ve come to expect from Milwaukee, works great for the car, or the boat. Great handling exceptional results. If your thinking about it don’t just buy it you’ll be glad you did.

Well the reason I bought this , I got tired of cords and gives you nothing but freedom. Came with 2 batteries and one fully charged battery can last you one car polish. The batteries charge very quickly with in 30 mins. Comes with 2 different style handles. I just love it !!!
