Ordered up a new 3401 HD last night along with more hybrid pads!!! This is a killer deal to me. Also went for the 128 oz size of HD Speed. Getting ready for the summer season.

Do you already have a 3401?
 
No, i have been using my rotary and PC together for years now and have been attracted to the Flex as it combines those functions into one machine. But...quite honestly, was waiting for the XCE. Now that it is delayed until December i decided to pull the trigger on the 3401 with this deal. I was torn anyway up to this point with thoughts that the new XCE is just a "tweak" of the 3401 anyway. Good tweaks i'm sure and i wanted the latest, greatest Flex forced rotation but the 3401 is a proven winner. Plus, I have always liked the HD versions of any machines and was going to get the changeable plate kit too, so...Bam, they read my mind!

I anticipate going to this new Flex for probably 90% of the work i do and like the idea of now relegating my Hitachi rotary and PC 7336 to backup duty and/or larger or smaller pad uses.
 
You won't be disappointed in the 3401. If I was going to get a new Flex it would be the long stroke since I don't have a long stroke machine and I already have a 3401.

Yeah, except it's not "up on the site for pre-order". I've said this before, this is part of the problem with the SEMA show, it's an industry show, not a consumer show, and was originally to allow buyers to see products for the following year. But because of the internet and social media, civilians get to see everything that goes on at SEMA, and expect this stuff to be available RIGHT NOW.

I don't believe Flex made any promises about when either of the new machines was going to be available, so you could look at the glass half full and be happy the long stroke machine is already in-stock at Autogeek.

While it may not be on the site for pre-order, obviously, you can't still preorder it. IIRC, and I'm pretty sure, it was supposed to be available around this time. Since it's been delayed for 9 months, I think that's exactly why AG is doing this promotion. Gotta keep morale high for a tool that was supposed to have been released around this time. It's a power tool, not a self driving car.

Yeah, i'm stoked! I think i'll get the small diameter kit available for the PE 8 (small bp's and pads) for my Hitachi rotary and use that for finessing the small areas. I still like my PC for applying waxes and sealants. I just feel the new Flex will simply allow some more capabilities and i'm used to forced rotation. I have been wanting dedicated machines for specific uses like some of you guys already have. Less time spent changing out equipment.
 
I think AutoGeek always does things to keep the forum members happy and they sell more than just polishers. AutoGeek does this type of promotion on all kinds of products for the other 90% of the customers who don't go on the forums also. They did a deal for me when I started and before I knew the forum existed and continue to keep me surrounded with deals and excellent staff. I have listened to people complain about waiting for new items since I started reading forums about anything. To this day the selection of deals,price matching,instock items, knowledge and customer service is still the best available for my educated dollar.

Outstanding! You are going to love the machine.

I would have ordered another 3401 on this sale if I didn't just order the new XFE...

Autogeek received the FIRST US shipment of the new XFE-15, and my guess is they will be the first to get the new XCE when it is finally available. Probably because when they introduced a new product, Autogeek is the first to put an order in without hesitation. The relationship that autogeek has with tool makers like Flex and Rupes is second to none and allows them to get products before other retailers can, which means they get new introductions first, and exclusive products as well. Which makes us happy!
 
Last day to get the killer deal on the 3401 HD

For what it's worth... we used the FLEX 3401 with a wool pad and a compound to carve decades of swirls, scratches, water spots and oxidation out of the 47 year old paint on a 1969 Tbird.

Here's the FLEX 3401 and you can see the single stage paint we removed during the process....

The FLEX 3401 is a BEAST!

(That's how I autograph my FLEX book too)


:)
 
Well I twisted my arm and applied my gift certificate to this awesome AGO offer for a Flex 3401 with HD cord, 4" changeable backing plate.

I want to add that I requested Mike Phillips to autograph my book and am experiencing added stokeness.

I am so anxious to use this tool. I have watched Mike`s videos over and over.

I almost got a Pink Flex when it could be had for under $300.00 and convinced myself I did not need it.
 
I've been tempted by this offer but I'm going to hold out until the XCE is released. The one I have now will work until then.
 
I apologize, I thought this promotion was for the new Flex 3401 coming out. With that said, it's definitely a killer deal for the current 3401.
 
So now you need to put together more Flex combo kits. Maybe a triple unit kit,a PE 14,XCE & XFE for those who don't own any Flex tools yet,a good deal might influence their wallet open. December,Hmmmm,Xmas bonus time. I know where some of mine is going.
