Swing-Style Floor Buffer/Scrubbers

Scrub, strip, buff, or polish floors. These buffer/scrubbers are suitable for wet and dry applications on hard floors and carpet.

The adjustable handle moves to different angles for comfort. Handle has a trigger to ensure safe operation—machine stops when the trigger is released. The wraparound bumper is nonmarking.

Pads or brushes are required and sold separately. If using a pad, 175/300 rpm machines require a pad holder, also sold separately.
