impressive...I dont think I would want to even go near mine with one as I would just burn it, especially a rotary one

Plenty of Youtube vids and stuff about to show you how to use it ;)

Had a practice with a mate's on an old panel and believe me its very hard to actually burn the paint, The Silverline has soft start with 6 speed settings from 900rpm to 3000rpm and after having a play i'm confident enough to use on the car 8)

Mine cost me £35 form a mate, Seen them on ebay from around £43 upwards or you can buy direct from Silverline

http://www.silverlinetoolbox.co.uk/# (when they get them back in stock)

Also the above link is the cheapest place for accessories :wink:
