Given a Sears 10" Buffer/Polisher

Given a Sears 10" Buffer/Polisher today (Sears part # 10722). 2800 random orbits/minute. No counterweight. Should I keep and use it or return it and get a PC?

Thanks.

Didn't that thing cost like a hundred bucks?

Return it and get the real thing.

They are only around $30-$40

The Sears polisher is probably fine for routine waxing or polishing, but you'll never be able to really work the paint as well as you can with the PC. I have both and you're welcome to test them out if you like...if anyone is interested I can bring the PC to Blair's on Sunday.
