I just found this on Amazon. Admittedly I have not been on the site much over the past few months, but when did DeWalt debut this beauty?
I copied the specs and features from Amazon and bolded the features I felt were significant. Has anyone tried the DWP849X? Any input or reviews from Tim Lingor or Superior Shine?
This is one AWESOME rotary polisher! Looks like DeWalt may have closed the gap significantly with the Makita 9227c
