Inexpensive Chinese Long Throw DA, Premium Parts....

I have a knock off flex 3401 made by spta it’s been good so far. It’s just a tad louder and bit under powered but I only paid $150 on eBay. I also run a shurhold 21mm that’s a beast it’s made for correcting boats since shurhold is a boating company instead of an auto detailing company.

I don’t know who make SPTA if anyone does that info would be great.

They even use the name FLEX in the part number!!! They claim it`s 1200W. Too bad for Flex it`s so costly to prosecute pirate imports.

The ebay price is $262 delivered. I see SPTA will sell direct for $149 + shipping.

Using a Geek 15% discount (Flex included) a few days ago and buying a $300 gift certificate with 20% ($60 extra certificate) at Christmas would net a REAL 3401 for $296.

I just bought one of the SPTA Mini Polishers. Had some Amazon gift cars and pricewise it fell under that amount. I`m a hobbyist, so I wasn`t looking to pay for iBrid Nano, etc. The few reviews I saw on it said it was a decent alternative, but definitely not a replacement. I`m probably going to have to wait until spring to give it a shot, though, since we`ve got freezing temps here in NJ.

Wow the chechnya unit resembles my 1gen G15 a lot. And it also has a 900w motor. I wonder if they will make a cordless.....
