Customer Reviews
foam & wool pads 
2001-10-09
To the person who has problems with , and refered to tie pads.
Any major paint wholesaler can sell you a kit that will replace
the pad with a velcro based plate to which you can place a foam
or wood pad with a touch and all work great.
DW849 works for me ! 2001-04-12
I bought this polisher to compound and wax a boat and I was extremely pleased with the results. The variable speed dial with a maximum RPM of 3000 was definitely the ticket on the parts of the boat that were suffering from severe oxidation.
I found myself running at about 1800-2000 RPM's over most of the boat but having the extra power when needed was definitely a time saver.
The only drawback I could mention is that this tool is not friendly about accepting generic polishing and cutting pads produced by "other" manufacturers. The Dewalt mounting bolt for the flex backplate leaves few options other than to use DeWalt pads unless you want to use the drawstring type, and I have been unable to find any drawstring pads worth purchasing.
Bad gearing,and more.

I have had my polisher less than one year.I have had the spindle replaced twice do to abnormal gear sounds, and viberations.And just today the electronic module well R.I.P. I will say this at first i loved it and now i hate it.By Andy.K A long tine detailer.
DeWalt Polisher 2000-07-05
This is the best polisher/buffer i have ever used. I own a detailing company and this is the only high speed buffer we use. Very well built. We have one that is over 4 years old, and still works like it is brand new. The variable speeds make this buffer great for beginning polishers and expert detailers. A must buy.
Great for your automotive detailing 2008-01-05
I used this product when I was doing automobile detailing for a paintless dent repair company. I have found it to be very reliable and love the variable speed adjust. As per other DeWalt products I've owned, it's very well made and can handle some abuse. Years later I bought one of my own after I left the company.
This is a powerful tool and can get away from someone not used to using it. Also it is a little hefty and will wear on your arms after extended use. I happen to like the weight as it seems to give me a little more control than one that is lightweight and just feels better in my hands.
excellent 2007-11-28
ive just started painting and old chevelle base coat clear coatlaquer a little wet sanding and this buffer made it look like glass no orange peel whatso ever . minimal swirl marks a $29.95 orbital buffer took them out in one pass.
The Real Deal 2007-09-26
This is a great professional grade buffer like the ones we used in autobody school. Plus quick shipping from a reputable dealer. I shopped around a lot and couldn't beat this price. Absolutely satisfied.
Not what the picture shows 2007-05-19
When I seen this add for the sander/grinder with a bag and gloves, I thought what a good deal,BUT after receiving the sander/grinder" thats all I received"!!! If your going to sell something that says promo with other things in the picture,then It should state what your buying!!!!
I'm very displeased!!!!!

This is the original Black and Decker Buffmaster. I bought mine in 1992 and it still works great.
