3M 7100036729 Buffer 3 Inch Clearcoat Polishing Tool

Product Description

The 3M 7100036729 is a rotary buffer tool powered by a 0.26 HP motor, designed for buffing and polishing clearcoat surfaces in automotive OEM paint shop environments. The unit ships with a Hookit Disc Pad, allowing technicians to mount hook-and-loop abrasive discs quickly without adhesives. At 2.36 pounds, the tool is light enough for extended overhead or side-panel work without excessive fatigue. Auto body technicians and paint shop professionals are the primary users of this tool in production and refinish settings.

This buffer is intended for use in automotive OEM and aftermarket paint shop applications where consistent clearcoat finishing is required. It is suited for polishing and buffing operations on vehicle body panels where surface quality and swirl-free results are the standard. The included Hookit Disc Pad accepts 3-inch hook-and-loop discs, making disc changes fast during high-volume production runs. It is not a general-purpose grinder and should be reserved for finish-stage paint surface work.
