(Borrowed Garry`s pic)
I went out to the mailbox today to discover that I`d received my Cord Control Clip from Garry Dean. Perfect timing, too, as I was just getting started doing some polishing on a Mustang in the shop.
Following an afternoon with a clip on my shoulder (not to be confused with the chip on my shoulder!) I have to say, I`m impressed! It was nice being able to focus on buffing without thinking about where the cord was, and I really couldn`t even feel that it was there after the first few minutes.
That said, I did have one problem in that I tended to forget it was there -- if I set the buffer down (and removed the cord from the clip) I would have to remind myself to pop the cord back into the clip when I started buffing again. Now that it`s a part of my normal workflow, I think over time it`ll become habitual to reach for it, but it takes some getting used to.
Overall I highly recommend picking one of these up -- pros and hobbyists alike will enjoy the improvement in comfort and increased level of focus they will experience. For the price, you can`t go wrong! This is an essential buffing accessory; if you own a buffer, you should own a Premium Custom Cord Control Clip!
