Details
The Rupes LH18EN 8" angle polisher was recently awarded the 'Highly Recommended' seal of approval from independent yachting magazine Sailing Today. Voted as the 'Best All-Rounder' on test, the Rupes LH18EN scored an impressive 9/10 by being light-weight, compact and having a dual gear system which provides plenty of torque without the need to rev the machine too high.

Since the review in Sailing Today, the Rupes LH18EN has been upgraded to the Rupes LH18ENS. The tool is essentially the same, but now comes complete with a spindle lock button. Buffer, backing pad and mop changes can now be made at the push of a button without the need of a wrench.
The LH18ENS 8" angle polisher is packed full of useful features including soft start for gentle acceleration and a side handle which is mountable on both sides of the tool. The double gearing reduction on the tool is coupled with electronic variable speed control.
