Porter Cable Split in 2
Careful people. That shaft that holds the counterweight parts to the main part of the machine can become flimsy over time or it could also have stress fractures in it. Although it could be due to the fact that I placed over 120 hours on it in the last 6 months alone
This happened while working on a red 08 Volvo C30 last Saturday. It was on a clients vehicle too, not one of my own . I pretty much finished 1/2 the car with a friend then it decided to explode on me while I spurred the pad . Finishing the remaining 1/2 with M105 by hand was a *****!
From what I could tell by posting this on various detailing forums, I am the only one it has happen to. My machine is under 1 year old (currently has 11 days left on the 1 Year Warranty too lol) and there are plenty of older ones out there. Just shows you that nothing is always perfect all the time
I'll be upgrading to the Makita 9227c pretty soon now because of this. That will make it so I have both the PC and Makita in my arsenal

Why for the sale though? Tough times man? ?
As for the M105, I have a Super Autobacs (asian pepboys IMO) by me and they stock it from time to time. I've just been raving about it so much that everyone went and bought all of it lol. Do you need some? I'm sure I can spare some of my bottle if you need it. Let me know

Hehe, alright. Just telling you that its some great stuff! It made for a great 1-step along with my friends Flex/SIP combo lol. Just wish I didn't have to apply so much "passion" to the pad thats all
Aww, its all good, I only detail on my days off and on breaks. You should pick it up again once you are all settled down again. Might be a great stress reliever as it is for me

Those are the exact same tools I've had in my garage for many years now. You'll love the Makita 9227C.
