    “Absolute monster with 3 inches” thank you I needed to hear that ❤😂
  • @marshprofessionaldetailing9794
    I've been using the Griot's G9 and G8 for a few years and for anyone getting into detailing (paint correction) they are unbelievable value for the money + lifetime warranty. I recently upgraded to the Rupes LHR15 Mark II (late to the party but got it on a awesome sale) and it is a noticeably better machine and much faster at correction. If you have the money, go for it (mark II or III) right away. Thanks for the extensive list and review guys! This stuff helps a lot of people save money, but more importantly, time.
  • @vdub5818
    For a weekend warrior like myself, I scored a G8 & G9 combo a few black fridays ago. I have no doubt I would prefer a more premium tool but I just cant justify the costs for how rarely I use them.
  • @teslamr7333
    I recently bought the Griot’s G9 when they had a good sale over the holidays. Basically it ended up costing double what I paid for my Harbour Freight. When I started using it and I put the constant speed control on, all I could think was how I was using that POS Harbour Freight tool for all those years. I am very happy with the product.
  • @superado2k
    Griot's G9 and G8 are both a solid S/A for me!
  • @florinstate
    Top quality video, very informative i love tier list series
  • @MC_Reds_Mark
    I would have to move the Griot’s machine up a level and would need to include the 3 inch G8 and short throw G9. Maybe a B+ if you can’t go all the way to an A. With that said, I really appreciate the lifetime warranty and the price point. They are great machines for enthusiasts and DIYers 😊. Great video guys!
  • @neilwalker5041
    Great video as all tools here will get the job done. I grew up racing go karts and am guilty of looking ahead while feeling where I am at. I am just not good at feeling padding stall on a dual action polisher. I mainly cut with the beast and finish with my corded Flex rotary. I do use the 3” Rupes for the 5-5-5- method and sometimes for curvy panels because the polisher is really smooth. Thank you guys for the video and for also running a company which delivers products which work!
  • @gs_mick
    I loved this video - helpful and entertaining! Please do more!
  • @wilsontorres2514
    I can’t believe they put the porter cable above the flex and Mille 😂😂
  • @realmikeq
    I gotta admit I tapped out when you gave the porter cable an A. Sorry it puts the entire ranking system in question.
  • @jeffc6832
    I love these lists, keep doing more! I do really like my Milwaukee 21mm, but you're 100% right about the weight. I actually like the ergonomics and chunky trigger, but its a beast that can wear you out. I will be upgrading my MKIII LHR 15 to an iBrid 15, and eventually the Milwaukee will probably get replaced by an iBrid 21 as well.
  • @richsmith3120
    Spot on with the Porter Cable 7424. I've had mine for 20 years (not XP) and it still corrects paint with no problems.
  • @MyGuyKirby
    I do not polish often but do own the CBEAST (cordless 3401). I like the clockwise motion, 8mm throw, and appreciate the never stall on curved surfaces. The new Dynabrade Warthog is a new comer to try if going corded.
  • @crs1474
    Arguing like brothers 😂😂. Enjoyed the video 👍
  • @jarrettsherman6652
    appreciate the honesty between top tier rupes and flex. helping me determine what my next purchase is going to be🤔
