- Griots BOSS Hybrid Micro Polisher Review & Cordless Polishers Discussed
In this video I highlight all the popular mini cordless polishers on the market and spotlight the new Griots Garage BOSS Hybrid Micro Polishers features and demonstration. This is the best feeling and smoothest and quietest polisher in the class and it has a properly designed variable trigger. A Few improvements I would like to see are higher capacity battery packs and updating the quick change system to make it easier to lock in place 100% of the time. If your looking for a mini cordless polisher the new Griots Garage BOSS Hybrid Micro Polisher will satisfy 95% if your tasks whether you a seasons detailer or an enthusiast.

Thanks for all the polisher reviews over the years! Couldn’t have earned my own experience without them👍
Glad you like them!
I love griots. I used to go through the catalogs as a kid. So glad they keep innovating.
for a small company to invest the money in doing this is very impressive to say the least when you have massive power tool brands who could get things right easily but choose not to.
Great video! Thanks for the comparison and your feedback! The griots looks legit.
Thanks for watching!
Great review! Love my big Griots polisher. 10:56 made me lol. WILL buy this little spinner. Griots Garage makes premium stuff... chemicals and polishers...
Definitely looking to pick this up during Christmas as my second machine I have a Milwaukee 15mm DA as my main machine
Keep up the honest reviews!! Some of us count on you professionals to help our buying decisions!!!
Nice review. Not having the option to get 2-3 batteries or being able to plug in are concerns for me. I hope they offer these options in the future. My first d a polisher was from Griots and I have upgraded to their newer version and it works great.
Thanks Phil 👍✌️☮️
the extra batteries and inverter are coming May 2023 according to Nick Griot. the delays are insane still with the supply chains and Rupes told me their inverter i would have by December 22 and still no word on when they will offer it for the HLR75 which I showed in this video.
Thank you
Have ypu looked at the Shine mate EB210?
what would be better for 3in the pxe80 or the hlr75?
Griot’s disadvantage price is ridiculous $400 these tools have to be made affordable not out of reach
I agree. They have priced this polisher up with Rupes and Flex. I don't care what anyone says. Griots is no where near those companies when it comes to engineering
This fckn griots shits on both flex and rupes@@djfrostbyte13
Thanks for this video and the information you provided.
Very helpful!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I too was surprised with the direct drive motor, otherwise a great tool if needing a versatile small polisher
Is the charger a free bolt?
Very good video. I am surprised why Rupes has waited so long to create a mini polisher able to switch between pad sizing. I think that is the main reason why detailers keep looking into other options in the market.
yeah when I bought my HLR 75 i thought it was switchable but your only able to use 3 inch pads, its a killer machine for performance but the trigger is a huge issue for me still.
I have the PXE 80 and i agree that the trigger isn't the greatest but you get used to it pretty quickly. The Griots looks cool, but i would personally never use it as if the head falls off when polishing a car it could do a LOT of damage. I'd rather have the power button on the Flex than damage a panel on a car personally.
have you had issues with vibration? I tried this polisher out and the vibration was so bad even at 3600 rpm is was extremely uncomfortable. Thje unit was extremely quiet so very strange.
Nope might been the wrong pad or maybe the DA insert wasn’t locked in properly
The flex is a great machine. What's there to hate about it? I love my mine.
the lack of a real variable trigger i just hate tools like that especially for the money and times we are in today that push button on and off switch is 30 year old design they should not even think of using today in such a competitive market
To dissipate heat from the holes back of motor... ❤
The holes on the top of the motor looks like the air intake witch is a big problem cause it looks like thats where your second hand will sit
Does the 1 inch option only function as rotary not DA?
yes only rotary for the 1 inch
@@autofanaticcars Thank you sir for the confirmation.
The trigger lock looks same as g9. Had 3 g9 trigger lock fail inside 120hr work load. Never had issue with any polisher in 20yrs.
Yeah think I’ll pass going with the flex
Griots now has extra batteries available.
How long does the battery last?
20-30 minutes not much they were supposed to offer larger batteries and a plug adapter but they are still not available
@@autofanaticcars I just wanna use this for interior trim and headlights you think they could do the job for that?
absolutely perfect tool for that job
Can it polish a whole car without overheating?
I hope a 5inch version is in the making....
these small machines are designed for small tasks but when a new one comes out I try to torture them to see how much I can do with one on a full charge, the Rupes HLR75 on two batteries can do a singe step polish on a full size car which was really cool. if your looking for a 5 inch version check out the Milwaukee M18 DA polishers at Home Depot.com
@@autofanaticcars cant wait for the torture test 😃
Phil I got my neighbor cpa/realtor getting me a loan for a van and tools just wrote up a proposal
Dude, Its not meant to detail a full car, its made for spoilers, interior and A&B pillars intricate panels
and motorcycles
It's not an inverter they are converters so they can convert from AC to DC
I'll stick with the G8, I don't see 400 bucks in value for myself.
Way to many fails with this machine, I do like Griots machines. However the Flex is gonna be better as a complete tool. Also The Flex has aftermarket 3”, 2” pads available . The quick change connector is gonna be a issue nobody wants to deal with and fumble around like that. Major fail on the most important part of the tool. Also the Flex XFE cordless polisher probably one of the weakest machines out, I’ve owned almost the entire Flex cordless line and the prior Griots 2”cordless which was similar to the Rupes machine. It’s Nice the Rupes new cordless machines give you run time but all the other issues overpower what good comes out of it. Same with the Rupes long neck super weak machine and brittle as well also at $600 for the kit way too much. Had Griots worked out this connector issue it may have been the best considering it comes with 3”,2” and 1” plus a rotary for $400 ish. Which is cheaper depending on where you get the Flex from , even on sale you still spend on the APS backing plates and rotary extension plus pads. But if Griots doesn’t get this worked out it’s a major fail. But let’s hope Griots gets this worked like they did with the 6” backing plates from the new polishers they put out. Can’t agree with this machine at this time. I also did notice it stalling like all machines do at its highest speed but that normal. But yeah Griots has to do better and one battery ? Yeah definitely not at this time does the new Griots cordless or the Rupes cordless overtake the Flex PXE80 as the best 3” and smaller tool available. Good video tho. Thanks
I read this entire review in Trumps voice, seemed to fit for some reason… doesn’t mean anything just made me smile. Thanks for that.
Everyone complaining about the control lever for the Rupes. Sounds like a personal problem for not being mindful of that 😂
What's amazing is this griots style looks like a Copy of the "knockoff" SPTA mini polisher? Why? How can a company like SPTA come out with a design that's unique before major brands!
that SPTA tool looks like a toy it is only 3.7V totally useless for paint correction i would think but the concept seems similar to the griots. These companies knock everything off
@@autofanaticcars I agree griots is 10x better machine just surprised by the design choice
$400 seems a little overpriced don't ya think ??
the Flex and Rupes are quite a bit more money and both have design shortcomings.
it's not really a micro-polisher.. more like a mini polisher
Griot is ugly design and copying the the flex pxe 80 no originality . Thats my opinion . Copying flex pxe 80 design and the collor . Flex pxe 80 is great and hlr75. Griot is looks like hammer . Hahahah😂
