Anyone have a cordless polisher?
Thinking about going wire free. Too often the wire slips off my shoulder and I have to start again.
How long does the battery last on them anyway? |

The only cordless polishers I've seen are from Flex and they're $500+ I couldn't see spending that kind of money on a polisher I only use a couple times of year. I even had a hard time spending the $250 for my new Griots G15.
While it is important to keep track of your cord while polishing to make sure it doesn't mar the paint while you're working, I wouldn't get too hung up on keeping it always over your shoulder. When sitting and working lower panels like doors and fenders, I don't even bother with putting the cord over my shoulder. I let it hang to provide better maneuverability.

I have the Shinemate EB351 cordless DA polisher, battery last me about an 45-60 mins depending on the machine's speed. I always have a spare battery so i can replace it when one of them dies and proceed to charging the dead battery. This way I can go around the car switching the batteries with no downtime.

Cordless tools have come such a long way and yet there is no substitute (sometimes) for a corded tool. The problem with my cordless polisher is the battery is so large and heavy, it really makes it more difficult to control. I'll use it in a small area but if I'm working on a large panel, I still reach for my corded machine.
