How many people run without the PC handle?

[autobahn]

I don't even understand why the PC has a handle, it transmits so much vibration...



I just took the handle off and I use my hand on the head of the unit now.

No handle for me. When I first got the PC I used the handle but got tired of it getting in the way and having to take it on and off.

 

[awahl63]

I don't use it either

 

[coupe]

no handle for me

 

[LeadingEdgeDetail]

OMG.



What a brilliant idea.



Why the hell have I been using that vibrating POS! aypal:

[the other pc]

The PC was originally designed as (and most of them are still sold as) a sander. Side handles are ubiquitous on sanders.



I prefer to polish without it.





PC.

I polish sans handle as well. The handle just always seemed to get in the way for me.

 

[imported_mrecktid]

Just recently have I taken off the handle, can't believe how I used to polish with it on!!

 

[Way2SSlow]

I tried the handle for about 30 seconds and I took it right back off.

 

[rollman]

No handle here , its easier to control without it for me . :buffing:

No handle here either...putting the hand on the head of the PC definitely helps with even pad pressure.

Same here. I'm not even sure where the handle is, anymore.

 

[Djmigs]

interesting, i would think most would have formed a habit with it on....."just a thought"

i dont use it,reason i was first shown the pc from mike p @ meguiars a long time ago without a handle so i practice that way and it feels like second nature.....

 

[roaringmouse]

I've never tried mine with the handle. No handle all the way.

 

[imported_Amused]

Without.

I was taught to use it without the handle, and find I get better feedback with my hand on top of the pad.

 

[imported_animes2k]

also no handle here. I tried it initially, then took the thing off. Hate it!

made the transition to rotary easy...

 

[s2skimon]

i still use it..

 

[RCBuddha]

no handle here either.

I use the handle for the convenience factor as I detail outdoors and find the handle useful to keep pads off the ground. I sourced bolts for each side to remove the handle and keep the plastic handle from vibrating and enjoyed it, but the convenience factor of the handle works for me - with a bolt on the other side of the housing to reduce vibration.

I still use the handle. I just started using the PC a few weeks ago and I'm just a bit more comfortable with it on. Once I get some more experience maybe I'll remove it and give it a try.
