Default Anybody here have a electric buffer that's smaller than the porter cable?

I'm looking for one that's about the size of a palm sander. I've seen it around before but now that I want to buy one I can't find it anywhere. I just don't want a huge one like the porter cable that I have to use 2 hands to handle.

I think craftsman sells a small random orbital, exactly like what you're describing.

Sears Craftsman has 2 random-orbital polishers for ~$40, neither has adjustable speed (2400OPM)

I have the Craftsman handheld mentioned below. It has 4" durafoam concave pads and I think it works really well. I think this pad size is just right for the A4 - it can get into the tight places but it can still cover the larger areas quickly. I can do the whole car (polish and wax) in about an hour or so. I think Sears might be discontinuing this model (it was never on their www site), so if you can find one locally I would recommend it (and stock up on pads). I have enclosed a link to my original post when I got it so you can see a pick of it.
