That's a nice one, but unless you are very skilled, that one can do much damage to your paint. Most here prefer the Porter Cable orbital type.

I see, this one is same as the Snap On. I think yes, round one is easy but you know the orbital function can really hurting your hand after while. Body shops use 7" long handle one and they don't use home owner style. I hope this information helps.

No, harbor frieght's stuffs has gone down in quality. They used to be good but not anymore on the professional stuff. This polisher is much better quality then harbor frieght and cheaper then snap on's price. I believe i saw one member bought a used snap on polisher from a member for $120. Used one for $120, can you believe that? Just moved in the new apt, lots of box full with MAN's toy. Hee hee.

Is a dial adjustment on the handle because this way it is safer that you won't increase the speed too fast with the trigger. It has 6 different speed setting on the top of the handle which is directly above the trigger. Let me know if you have more question.

moving in circle is the buffing movement, however since the polisher's buffing pad will rotate with its own circle motion therefore you are free to move around on any section that you wish to polish.

Like I said if you want to compare D.I.Y product to professional product then is fine with me. Next time when you go change your oil or take your car to service make sure you ask those professionals to see if they buy harbor freight's tools or not. No hard feeling !
