Tool insurance!

[Aaryn NZ]

Hey folks. :xyxthumbs:

So my gorgeous Wife asked me to snap some photos of my polishers & their serial numbers to put on record for insurance reasons. I guess trying to convince an insurance company that a ‘one man band’ actually has this many polishing machines could prove difficult.

Then this happened! There are a couple there that are ‘spares’ there is one Flex 3401 that is pretty special to me as it’s signed my Mike Phillips. And there are a couple there that seldom get much action.

Ange shook her head at me as they continually came out & took there place in line . . . In my defence - one of those cordless Flex XFEs belongs to Ange. :buffing:

Awesome!

Nice collection!

I think she just wanted to find out how many polishers you bought without her knowing about it
Now you've shown her all you got and she has proof of it.

That’s a whole lotta buffers!! I got that lil Milwaukee tool it’s amazing for headlights and small spots. I want the Mille but can’t decide on that or the flex cordless.

Damn! That's probably $6000+ in machines. Don't tell Ange I said that but very very impressive collection.

I agree, its a fantastic tool & built real nice too. I have the Milwaukee Cordless rotary also & its a solid performer & it gets a fair amount of work. I like the Mille, I just don't 'love it'. For me the tallness of the tools head is a little uncomfortable & I prefer to wrap my hand around the shroud. If its the Cordless Flex 3401 you're referring to in terms of your decision between that & the RUPES Mille - My money would already be spent on the Flex . . . just my opinion. :buffing:

Awh geeze Paul I'm pretty sure she heard you typing that! :ban: Hahaha.

You're probably right though which is a little scary to think of. Then on the other hand I think of how many cars these tools have buffed out & the money they have made me . . . . & I wonder why I'm broke!!! Hahaha! No seriously though, they serve me well & their value is why the pictures were needed for insurance records.

Now when my Autogeek friends come down to New Zealand to visit nobody willbe left out, we can all polish at once. :buffing::buffing::buffing:

Very nice collection. I probably have too many for a "one man shop" that isn't even a professional. But they serve their purpose I'm sticking too that.

And I'm sure my wife would love to visit New Zealand some day, so if we do, I'll swing by and take some polishing time The women can go out shopping or sightseeing

Smart wife! You now have proof for your insurance company........... or you had all you friends over with their machines to see who has the longest cord!!! rops:

Now remember to put your records off site... just because!

 

[VISITOR]

Awesome set of polishers you have Aaryn!

It's smart to take pictures of all of them for insurance if you have a break-in. Do that with the other hardware you have in shop too.

Now it's time to ask your wife to take out hers hidden collection of polishers LOL.

Nice collection! Smart wife, no insurance company would believe you had that detailing arsenal, heck some of us find it hard to believe. :buffing:

Thank you Tony. :xyxthumbs:

:iagree: & yes taking pictures of other tools, machinery, plant etc also. :xyxthumbs: Haha, Ange has but one polisher she calls her own (Flex XFE 15 150 Cordless) & a heck of a grand first polisher it is too. Now, lets not go into details of the Kitchen Wares collection of hers . . . :wow:

Hahaha, thank you Justin. :xyxthumbs:

A couple of these are "spares" (3401s) but to date I haven't been let down. I am sure to add the cordless Flex 3401 when it arrives down here & I am drawn to the UDOS from Lake Country too, I think that will be a versatile tool. rops:

That is indeed awesome!!!
I still have my first 3401 and use it heavily. It has yet to fail in any way. It’s vey high mileage. Bought my friend who helps me out a lot one this year so I have a spare to use just Incase mine dies. I honestly doubt you will ever go thru that many in your lifetime.
The colored cords look really nice. We get black cords in the US.
