Product: Griot’s Garage Orbital Polisher Rack
Price: $79.99
Product Description:
As it arrived, it showed up packed in two boxes. One slim box packaged within the larger Autogeek box. It was also bagged within the smaller box. It arrived with no shipping damages.
I must mention that it does come with a small bag which contains 6 mounting screws. Be sure not to throw them away.
Upon looking at it, I could see what a nice crafted product this is. It has the Griot's car cutout right in the center.
The polisher rack can hold three polishers on the top. The hooks at the bottom are there for the power cord. The lower circle cutout’s are also places to mount additional polishers that have a smaller backing plate. One thing I found odd is that the lower cutout’s do not have a rubber gasket like the top of it. Griot’s should consider adding that to the polisher rack. I will be looking for a similar material and modifying the rack for my personal taste.
Before I get to the mounted photos, I will also mention some small quality issues. One is the Griot’s Garage emblem applied to the structure. It is off center and it looks like it was afterthought when it was applied.
The other issue is here on the logo. This is a close up of the windshield. Notice the black mark. This is probably a left over burn mark during the manufacturing process.
These are the minor nit picks I have about the polisher rack.
I did not use the included screws. I used dry wall anchors and screws to mount it on the wall. The included screws were to large for the anchors so I had some equivalent size screws that worked.
For those of you who are Griot’s only fans take a deep breath haha. I mounted all of my Rupes polishers onto the polisher rack. Sacrilege I know. But it sure does look nice.
I tried mounting the Rupes Nano into the lower cutout and it fits ok in that area. But it fit much better in the one of the wheel cutouts with the base of the nano sitting up against the power cord instead of the rack itself.
Final thoughts:
First off this is a well constructed piece and it looks great mounted on the wall. It is a good size for those that have a handful of polishers. The hooks make it convenient for keeping the power cords in order and organized. It takes away any stress from wrapping the cord around the tool.
There are a few minor manufacturing issues that I have with it. Such as the Griot’s Garage emblem not being placed straight. Also the minor black mark from what appears to be from the manufacturing process to cut out the logo. And finally that there is no gasket included for the lower two cutouts. It probably does not cost much to include a couple more pieces in those areas to avoid any possibility of chipping the paint. I can live with these but it is something for the folks at Griot's to consider for future product updates.
Overall a very nice quality polisher rack to store ones polishers. I would recommend it as it looks great mounted on the wall displaying whatever polishers one owns for quick access and easy storage.
Thanks for reading.

During the last 25% off sale I pulled the trigger on the Griot’s Garage Polisher Rack. It was hard to pass up at $59.99 shipped to my doorstep. I found this to be the nicest looking of the available polisher racks sold through Autogeek.
