    The nut was threaded so I likely put a bolt in it to polish.
    I have a Harbor Freight 6″ buffer. I was on sale for $40.00
    at the time. For that price I thought it was worth a try.
    It struggles with a 4” wheel when polishing aluminum.
    You really have to lay into aluminum to get to the mirror
    finish. It gets smoken hot but it has held up. It was worth
    what I paid. Not the $70.00 their asking, if that is the
    same as I have? Could be better. Could be worse.
    You just don’t know. I haven’t bought much there. I did
    get a 2 ton aluminum floor jack that I can’t say anything
    bad about. There is some stuff on dents and getting the
    metal straight, but there old and too long. I plan on making
    a new one at some point. Check You Tube for videos on
    polishing and removing dent’s from motorcycle gas tanks.

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
