Don't buy this tool expecting to polish your intake manifold. You'll burn out a smaller compressor and freeze your hand off.

The link failed and when I went to Grainger I had difficulty. Can you resend?
Thanks

Polishing a manifold is one dirty messy time consuming job.... lucky for me... there are two "polishing" shops just a few minutes from me..... I just take the stuff to them and get it back a few days later....
