Your polisher reviews are second to none!
*I've owned the 849x going on 6 years **MyBest.Tools** and has never failed me.Smooth runningWell balancedNot too noisyDecent weightControlled RPM's that keeps it's speed no matter pressure*
Great little Kit~! Rotary with wool pads, less heat, more cut! Very Versatile Tool~!! Thank You Brian
Thanks so much for your reviews mate! I bought this because of you, I hope you get some recognition from SPTA.
These polisher tear downs and reviews are the best!
I AM SOOOOOOOO GLAD you did a review on this little polisher!!!
And I feel a little better about it now also😁
I've had mine for over a year now and not a hiccup one!!
Now when it comes to the pads, the 1" wool kong hair pad and 1" blue microfiber pad will not last that long, just putting that out there for anyone wanting to know.
The rest of the pads are medium grade at best. But there are plenty of companies that produce 3" pads and smaller if you want to upgrade them.
I mainly use mine for high gloss interior peices. And I have found that, just like the paintwork on the outside you can treat trim peices the same way. I start with the 1" green pad and use griot's garage complete compound as a starter and finish with the 1" blue pad and griot's garage complete polish. And let me tell ya, trim work comes out looking fantastic.
Never seen better review of any polisher
Thank you so much
Excellent video Bryan as always! I took a punt on this machine a few months back when it was discounted on Amazon at 50% and was not dissapointed especially considering the substantial kit that comes with it. Good tip on changing the grease out, that is something I overlooked and will definitely do. Love your content👍
Just got my mini polisher yesterday Brian. Can’t wait to break it in. Thank you for the break down & the video man. Garcia’s Automotive Detail. Tucson Az
Very cool. Nice to see something that’s impressive and affordable
Not bad. I've seen these and wondered if it's a good recommend to a friend getting into detailing. Thanks for the review, helpful and for the target for most diy'ers, this checks off a lot of boxes!
I trust your product reviews have helped me make sound great sound decisions when it comes to purchasing products and tools for the job
Bought this in November 2019
Loved it ever since.
Do you know if standard handles fit on it or are they different threads,If you have any other rotary or da buffer ,do those handles fit this mini?The one I'm looking at does not have handle with it and i don't use handle much but I would like it when i use a 4 or 5 in back pad with wool pad.Thanks
Thanks Brian for doing a review on a budget machine for those of us who are on very limited budgets. It's nice to see someone who isn't afraid to test and rate fairly a non-premium brand, as some people are worried about their image of having and using only the most premium and named brands on the market. Well done, a very good video.
Just got one of Amazon!
Thank you for the video!!
It help a lot!!!!
👍💪👍💪👍
I bought the mini polisher attachment for the rotary as well. Havent used yet but glad to have it.
Great review and breakdown of tool!👍
Thank you Brian. This video had encouraged me to purchase this piece of equipment. I was looking at the compact Flex however I'd rather save a few bucks and get this one. Thanks
again
Great video dude, I just purchased one for detailing my motorcycle 👍🏻
Nice thanks Brian
Great review 👏 thanks Brian 😊 👍
Thanks Brian.... great review !
Wow! Your cost benifit analysis on this unit was extremely helpful. The return on investment is high. It would be almost perfect if it was cordless. Added to my cart.
SPTA are stepping on the big boys (pricey brands) toes with quality tools and accessories at very reasonable prices...me likey!
Thanks Brian I have ordered the SPTA
Great up close and personal review of this polisher💎I don’t like the locking trigger either.Thanks Brian we appreciate what you do for us ✊
These mini polisher have to have them type of switches by law I think
Never understood why we need a micro orbital??
I use my Makita angle drill with 1”-2” pads and just offset the pad to give me an orbital pattern when I want more cutting. JMTC
Love your channel . Keep up the good work!
I really like how you take the machines apart, thanks Brian 👍😁
And put them back together!!
Great little machine for the money.
Bought this polisher last year, thanks for recommending a 5/8 adapter, now I’ll throw a 5 inch plate on and give it a try!
Let us know how it handles a 5 inch plate 👍
Works fine in a cool shaded shop... but hot days in the sun could take its toll. I take the chance due to my bad shoulders.
I just received my polisher today I use it on the transom of an offshore racing boat sure save me a lot of headache and it worked well
Yep.. i need one..😎
Good review.
great video and product review. my son bought this same 1 4 my bday.great little affordable unit.def great unit and buy 4 the money.b well good friend
Richard Seem enjoy the holiday!😁
Hi Brian, here is an idea based on something you said in this video. How about a How To video on how to polish interior trim, step by step: Polish, pads, tools, etc. It would benefit me a lot at least.
Awesome video Brian. There aren't too many videos for this machine. Mine should arrive tomorrow. My first pick was the flex 3 inch polisher however I saw this one and all of the accessories that comes with it. Well, your video have me confidence to purchase this puppy. One question I have is,, what do you think of the on and off switch. Many folks suggested the switch was crappy and that it will probably break. What's your thoughts?. Thanks again for the awesome video sir.
Count me in ☺
I have that exact polisher it’s my door jam and tight space go to tool.
hi, I am looking for a 75mm polisher to make slightly angular bodies, I thought of this SPTA but I admit that the lack of quick button bothers me a bit
the ideal would be a combined polisher like the nano from spta (the quick button is missing, too bad)
so have both: orbital, and rotary
my question is will you recommend this mini polisher?
it looks almost identical to the mini rupes.
Great price!
I bought one on ebay but speed #1 seemed more than twice as the 1000 rpm .I tested it with a digital photo tachometer and the # 1 speed setting was 2600 rpm! I liked the polisher but that is just to fast for speed 1 and the speed just went up from there.which would you all recommend this or the Maxshine 550 ,or are they about equal? Thanks
WalMart is selling the SPTA Cordless 20v Random Orbital kit with 2 batteries and pads + more for $29.99.
Thank you for the review I've always been curious about these polishers. Can you please look into MJJC polishers next? They look a lot like Flex polishers and you can find them on AliExpress
WildDanHibiki I shall look into them.
Thanks. Was actually looking to use this to polish CDs.
Probably overkill.
Brian...your turning me into a detail hoarder..😄
j d nooooo!😂
Do a car for some one, and make their year.😎👍
Could this be also modified like their cordless mini RO/DA polisher? With a counterweight ?
I've tried to find a m14 counterweight but haven't . I'm planning on buying this RO polisher , but would be nice to also use it as a DA
Hello, this might be a stupid question but anyways, can this machine be used with bigger backing plates and buffing pads like 5inches or 6inches? Thank you in advance :)
Thank you for the great info. Very surprised at the quality of this polisher.
Chris Murphy I was too.
Does anyone know if standard handles fit on it or are they different threads,If you have any other rotary or da buffer ,do those handles fit this mini?The one im looking at does not have handle with it and i dont use handle much i would like it when i use a 4 ib back pad with wool pad.Thanks
Thank you reviewing this polisher. Would you be kind enough to also review Adams Mini Swirl Killer 12mm polisher? I am plan on buying it if you review and provide your opinion on the build and craftsmanship. Thank you 🙏
Look at his shinemate polisher review. Its basically the same machine different color.
I have this rotary. Also have a similarly small Flex rotary. The Flex is a little quieter, feels more refined. For the money, the SPTA is excellent. So far, a reliable tool. Edit: You'd mentioned the SJT cord. Bugs the crap out of me. For a few pennies more, literally, they could have used a SJ cord. Personal pet peeve.
Open it and put your own cord on it
This one or better to go with flex pe8 or maxshine m550? Some people say spta have a to much high rpm at low speed? I'm want small rotary for mainly 1in pad
Can you review the SPTA Micro Polisher?
These polisher reviews are excellent man! I'd love for you to look at the SPTA 1200w forced rotation (its only on their website not on Amazon) that's like the flex 3401 and their 15mm free spin. I'd really like to know how they compare to the big brands like flex, griots, actually even how it compares to Maxshine....I was sceptical of buying SPTA as my main polisher but this mini one in the video is really well built!
If it doesn’t have epoxy to the commutator can I just put Epoxy on the machine itself to protect it long term even it is brand new?
BRYAN, CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON QP-ON'S PRO 1, 2, AND 3 PRODUCTS. THINKING 1 OR 2 could be a stand alone or GREAT TOPPERS FOR SIO'S. JP IN SD.
Can you tell me what pads are for what,mine didnt say
Does anybody know if spta sells this accessory kit, sans the polish motor section?
What axle grease do you recommend
Very impressive videos. I like your machine breakdowns. Never knew it's that involved. I have a question, I'm an apartment dweller and I have no space to bring in a panel from a car ,less alone a hood.would it be ok to use my lid to the washing machine to get some practice in on a buffer ?
Thanking you in advance for your answer.
David M a fender would be about the same size. That way.. you can get experience on clear coat.
@@apexdetail85 I've sent questions to other detail channel's and no one...and ai mean no one has ever answered any of my inquiries..... this means more to me than you will ever know. Thank you....and l will visit a local junk yard soon... thanks again.
Can I coat epoxy on the commutator to protect it?
I'm reasonably sure this is literally the exact same thing as my ancient Makita angle grinder.
It looks similar to the ShineMaster M8S, only in rotary and the speed dial is above the wire, not under.
OCDaddy_Zsolt probably made in the same factory
Great video. Bryan how are the pads quality are they just as good as LC or Rupes?
J L the pads seem to be the weak point ... the foam ones anyway.
Great review i really like this
Ive been looking at this as well as spta 180mm rotary
Im really drawn to this unit tho
I need it for a carbon fiber bonnet with vents so smaller attechmets would be great
Do you know if the unit runs nive with a 5inch backing plate
And also how long is the cable on this unit
Tia keep up the good work 💪💪
Does this run well with a 5inch hook and loop backing plate ?
I am still waiting for a price and where I could purchase it please comment back thank you very much for this video
Brian .... You know I need a 45mm long extension, but one that is M14 female and M14 male outlet. What are they called? To find it on Amazon? because I could not find it, and Amazon is my only source abroad, Aliexpress takes a long time, I live in Chile.
Thanks for your videos, very good content.
Greetings from Chile.
Brian’s replacement of the gear lubricant is an excellent idea however everyone should note that opening some polishers in the warranty period voids it. Read the manufacturers guide book.
skinn0909 absolutely... I try to remember to mention that as often as possible. I fix my own polishers.. the warranty means little to me unless it fails right out of the box.
Apex Detail make some videos on how to fix polishers!!
@@apexdetail85 which high temp grease you will recommend (any specific make and model you prefer)?
Is this good enough to cover an entire car for paint correction
I bought this and it's decent, but none of the extension bars would screw into the backing plates. The female end has m14 threads (which is what the polisher uses), but the male end was just "off" somehow. It wasn't 5/8" or m14, so who knows. I had a heck of a time finding a set of m14 extension bars in the US, so beware if you really need them.
Thinking that the atoms UV coating might be the way to go with mediocre Lighting in my shop oh, sometimes it's really hard to see what's on and what's not on the cars
How is their dual action polisher?
Where can I purchase one of these I've got a motorcycle that I am looking for a nice polisher like this especially with that adapter that you used under the handles that's very nice can get Into tight spots Please comment back thank you
How’s SPTA DA compare to Maxshine?
Yup, it has to come apart all the way as always :), I got not much to add, you covered it all. I just wonder how the quality of the pads and polishes is, i guess its average? Tried a 7" backing plate and can it cope?
For the pro's, I think it's better to get a more powerful Maxshine rotary so you got 7" to 1" pads covered if you get the kit without the SPTA machine, so you got your rotary part all complete :)
Well you may need to get a 7", 6' or 5' backing plate and pads of course. But for people that just start and don't plan to use it daily, this SPTA kit is as good as it gets though.
Loved the video :)
Piglet6256 I use no larger than 5 inch even on the full size rotary. The 7 inch pad would be almost larger than the polisher. The foam pads are the weakest of the pads.
So you never use 6" or 7" inch pads?
I always get holograms when I use it :/ how do I avoid that?
Sold me!
SPTA, I love this brand!, Polisher, pads, etc. At good prices and great qualities! 👍
Their pads flat edge beveled , hex-logic, diamond etc pads have nothing to envy to the big brands!
By comparing side by side SPTA pads and maxshine, lake country HDO, shinemate. They are identical !
I have old lake country HDO (blue, orange, red) and SPTA HDO. Completely identical, I think manufactured in the same place !?
Lake Country are made in Occonomowoc Wi, so I really doubt it.
Review the spta 15mm da please
Hey B, have you tried their forced rotation polisher from them? One of my friends back home just got one in the mail and he says it's super nice. Naturally time will tell but the price he paid for it, I would think it's hard to go wrong?
Aaron Corley I will review that one at some point. Hope the build is just as good.
@@apexdetail85. Nice 💪
I know I've heard this referenced in this video and others, but how would I go about converting this 3" to 5" backing plate or a 5" polisher to 3" plate?
Ken Amazon has the backing plates that will fit. All sizes except 7 inch.
@@apexdetail85 how does it perform with the bigger 5 inch 6 inch pads ? Tia
Hi Brian ,Is the power cord a 2 prong or 3 prong plug end and do you think it could be updated to the better more pliable cords? I was looking at the Flex mini rotary but this video caught my eye and looks to be a viable alternative based on what I see in your excellent video. Thank you
I was wondering About these, I just bought a mini kit, for $14.00 but this looks like a VERY IMPRESSIVE STEAL BRYAN. JP IN SD
What do you think of the QP-ON PRO 1,2,3 PRODUCTS?
Have one the only thing I hate about it is the on/ off switch
Bryan, what is a really good ceramic coating, that will last around 2yrs. And has a great shelf life , once OPENED.THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. JP IN SD
And need a good/GREAT TOPPER FOR MAINTENANCE AND TOUCH UPS.
John Pawlowski Gyeon Q2 Mohs 👍
Is SPTA a reliable brand? say only for home jobs.
Anyone have experience with there pads? Are they good, bad or just ok?
I haven’t but stick to what works. Many love buff and shine, and lake country pads
The pads are average at best. The foam pads anyway.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
SPTA....seems to have disappeared from Amazon - what is the next 'available" best bang for the buck- newbie detailer dual action polisher?
TOM D I have links for kits on EBay for the same price. Below the Amazon link.
Back on Amazon now
Try the SPTA cordless 15mm DA. It is AWESOME!!
Brian, another fine review. I've been thinking about buying the SPTA cordless as well. Would like to see you review it!
Ojala pudiera tener subtitulo en español 🤣 saludos
Not available on amazon anymore
Take it back Have to buy complete kit
Shine mate has something similar in the EP803. I mean...suspiciously similar...
TGBTD probably made in the same factory.
I ordered a polisher from company in China a few months ago. 45 days later they messaged me they got it back from the post office, twice. Problem is, that their tracking number never worked from day one. It was a complete waste of time but at least I got a refund.
Paul Cottreau it Han get sketchy some times. I normally order from Amazon
Nice little machine and the kits are really low priced. Ok guys there are 5 reviews but only 2 likes??? And one is mine. What is with that . :)
alberto see the video
Because of this video the machine may gain notoriety and go up in price so get em while the whole kit is still $130!!!
FatStogie EBay has quite a few.
