Anyone have the M18 Fuel Polisher ? If so , how do you like it ? Any pros and cons about it ? Is it worth getting ? I think I would just buy the bare tool as I have tons of batteries.
I don’t have it, but plan to. I can’t offer hands-on experience but can comment on what I’ve read and watched about it.
It’s battery-hungry. If you’re doing a thorough job, forget the one battery per vehicle claim, that’s nonsense.
It’s modified 2780 form factor means the battery sags a little low off the tail end of it, meaning you need to be cautious not to bump/scuff on the vehicle when you’re working on angles and different areas
of the vehicle.
I may end up ordering the kit for the rapid charger lol not sure yet. Those things are priced ridiculously separately.

I got the m12 one and surprisingly use it quite often to clean up tub and sink surfaces when installing new faucets… with a scotchbrite wheel gets a nice baby smooth surface from where the old crusty nasty buildup had sat for a millennia lol
Then I polished this sink stopper up real nice and to my surprise it took the scratches off, there were little ones all over the stopper
