Rupes Duetto or Flex PE14

[ShawnF350]

I'm just wondering if anyone thinks the Duetto is a nice addition to all the other stuff I have.
I love my 15 but does a Duetto add anything?
I have the following:
Rupes 15&21&mini
FLEX 3401 (plan on selling or trade my least liked polisher)
MAKITA rotary 9237
Should I try me a PE14 instead.
But I'm leaning more toward Rupes if it adds anything. I don't use a rotary much .

My plan of attack this summer id to have my 17 yo son learn to detail. We can double up on a car and cut time.
That's what I'll be telling my wife anyway. .lol

Did your son try the Flex?

I LOVE both so I can't help. Sorry

Did your son try the Flex?

Not yet but when spring comes I guess i should let him give it a try.

So Ray , you Love both the 14 and Duetto.
Do you also have a 15 or 21?
I

Id say give the PE-8 a chance. I know its not on your list but I just LOVE mine

I LOVE the PE14. Ray can testify ��. For the Rupes I much prefer the 15, less fatigue for me and easier to hold vs the Duetto.

If you already have the 15, 21 and mini, the Duetto will add nothing. After using the 15 or 21 all day, the Duetto feels underpowered.

I can borrow any polisher so technically I guess you could say I have all of them at my disposal and I just prefer the Duetto. I like the smaller size and I feel like I can knock out corrections faster than a 15 or 21.

I think Shane's right, the Flex PE-8 would fill a gap in your arsenal. Especially since you've been using a rotary much more frequently.

Different (long) strokes for different folks

I own a 15 and a mini 3" Rupes.

I really like the 15 for flat panels and remember I don't do this for a living but I find myself preferring the smaller pads most of the time as it allows me to work the curves without stalling the 15/.

PE14. Just buy the 1", 2", and 3" backing plates to go with it and you have a proper rotary for getting those intricate areas.

 

[ShawnF350]

Well the pe14 isn't available now, so I'll wait for another open box or a pe8.
Thanks for the input everyone

I've got another PE8 that hasn't been listed yet.
