I love my 9227 also. It works circles around my brother-in-laws Milwaukee that he's so proud of.

The Shurhold buffer is really good as well, and comes with some accessories specifically for boats. I imagine its really made by somebody else- it sort of looks like a Milwaukee product- very well built.

The glass shop i used to work at we always used Makita. They last for ever, great buffers. I bought a cheapy from auto zone and it works fine for the couple of times a year I use it.
