I have two of those kits. Used on my wife's car, no need on mine as it is always garaged, and my father's car. My neighbor now has it, and my drill, to work on her Mustang's HL's. It gets used...I just wish I could get replacement consumables rather than having to buy a full kit in order to have new sanding discs for it.
