Porter-Cable 7424XP Random Orbit Polisher vs Rutlands 15mm Random Orbital Polisher

The Porter-Cable 7424XP is the safer first polisher: a proven 6-inch random orbital with a 4.5 amp motor, a two-position side handle and a long record of owner satisfaction. The 15mm-orbit polisher is the stronger step up for paint correction, with a 1000W motor, a longer throw, an LED ring and an LCD speed readout. Build quality is close, but the Porter-Cable's ball-bearing construction and simple design have years of real-world use behind them, while the 15mm unit adds features that help on large panels and complex curves.

• Choose the Porter-Cable 7424XP if you want a dependable, easy-to-control 6-inch polisher for polishing, waxing and light sanding on wood, metal, marine and auto surfaces.
• Choose the 15mm-orbit polisher if you are doing serious paint correction and want a longer throw, more power, an LED work light and a digital speed display.
