Second One is a Craftsman - Two Speed (Sorry No Pics)

Hes wanting to trade both of them for a PC? I turned them both on and work fine. Any Ideas?
 
The vector was sold by PAC for awile, I have had very good luck with mine, does everything the high dollar ones do and for less than a 100 bucks when I got mine.

Okay, Sweet Thanks for the input! It looks just like a makita without the handle bar and color scheme. Heads a little different 2
 
The Craftsman does not use the industry standard 5/8 threading. You can try to find a hook and loop backing plate for the threading, but I'm not sure they exist.



In all, I really would try to avoid the Craftsman rotary.

Okay, do you know anything about the Vector? Does the vector 5/8 threading.
 
At the semi bodyshop I use to at for 4 years we had a vector rotary. It got used daily for 4-8 hours a day. We never had any problems with it except the cord coming out of the machine. But that's b/c the guys would lower it by the cord when they were working on scaffolding buffing semis.

I would keep your porter cable and invest in a better rotory.

Well I have two porter cables, and I was going to sell the other on ebay for what ever I could get, because I can use only one at a time

After you learn how to use the rotary, it's pretty much the only thing you'll use.
